Ever up past 2am, & looking for a place to go where everyone knows your name? Don't go to Korsakoff. Probably nobody will know your name. On the other hand, the place will definitely be open, so there's that to say about it!

Korsakoff is THE hard rock bar of Amsterdam (in my admittedly limited experience) and late night spot. There are others, one that reputedly has Scream-o karaoke. I wish, but that was a mythe I busted months ago. Korsykaff is the real deal, and is open late. In fact, don't even go early- it will be empty until past midnight.

The music's loud, the crowd dressed in black, and anything goes. Even better, nobody seems to mind when a group of hipsters show up. This shot of two of my Dutch friends gives a good representation of the atmosphere inside: warped! Find it at Lijnbaansgracht 161, along the canal.
