Labyrinth Amstelveenseweg 53, 1075 VT Amsterdam

This place rocks! It's an absolute 100% recommendation, drinks, dinner, hanging out, cultural entertainment

I cycled past here a lot before I ever went in.

Every time I cycled past it looked like a completely different place qua clientèle. My first 2 visits illustrate this point perfectly

a) I saw an fb add 'from spectate to participate' sounded right up my alley .  (apart from the grammar) I forgot my shaker but was able to borrow one inside.

when I looked in the window on arrival the place was packed full of under 30 wyte people. I squeezed in anyway, there was a definite Eastern European vibe going on but a mix of people also squeezed around the edges eating there.

The gang turned out to be Lithuanian. One person even offered to help me google - I was trying tos end an email, but itsl the thought that counts - the evening was brilliant, every thing it had promised to be and more.

Jurgis spectacular!

A week later I went in and it was not quite so busy but this time it was filled with under 30's blak people mostly girls.

the African Students Union, had organised an event. They were in general very Dutch, young people with African parents. Again an interesting cultural program was laid before us and the people eating there were again very mixed and non reflective of the programming. and there were a bunch of people who had come from out of town. By midnight the place was empty!

This place has a unique feel every time you go in and it's a different kind of unique every time.

The people who run it are really cool. Totally into variety, culture and the best service and food possible.

Having seen a lot of places come and go in Oud Zuid, this place is a keeper and the best in my experience so far.

Super cocktails - also happy to make alcohol free varieties, reasonable prices - for the area!!

Great food. Open late!

It's different every time but it feels like there is always a welcome to whoever crosses the threshold.
