About Oliva

Rembrandtplein 17 puts you on one of Amsterdam's busiest late-night squares, which means the doors don't open until 11pm and the room fills with whoever has been circling the terraces since dinner — backpackers, visitors, a largely Western European crowd in the 18-25 bracket. The floor runs on trance and house alongside reggaeton and commercial hits, loud enough to dance to but in a space small enough that it never feels anonymous. Tuesday and Thursday hold their own here, though Friday and Saturday are the proper nights, both running to 5am. Prices sit in the mid band, with table service, bottle service and VIP booths available if you want a base for the night. Smart casual is enough to get past the door, and the kitchen keeps the menu broad rather than specialised. Open year-round; closed Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.
