Where to Go Before the Party
Keep your main bar stops on Reguliersdwarsstraat. Several gay venues sit almost beside NYX, making it easy to move from drinks to the club.
- Bar Blend – Reguliersdwarsstraat 41, opposite NYX. Start here for cocktails, music videos and a sociable gay crowd. The compact, colourful bar hosts weekend DJs and drag appearances, making it an easy place to meet friends before heading across the street.
- Soho – Reguliersdwarsstraat 36, approximately one minute from NYX. A warm, bohemian-style gay bar with a central bar, an upstairs cocktail corner and a pop-led soundtrack. Choose it for drinks that gradually turn into a party.
- Blend XL – Reguliersdwarsstraat 44, practically next door to NYX. The larger sister venue to Bar Blend offers cocktails, a club-style floor and weekly shows. A good final stop when you want the night to pick up pace before entering NYX.
- PRIK – Spuistraat 109, approximately 15–20 minutes from NYX. Begin here earlier for cocktails, prosecco on tap and a relaxed mix of locals, expats and visitors. Its terrace is a useful option in warmer weather before walking south to Reguliersdwarsstraat.
For an easy evening, start with cocktails at Bar Blend or Soho, then head to NYX at the opening time shown on your ticket.

Hotels Close to the Party

- Banks Mansion – A characterful canal-house hotel on Herengracht, approximately 4–5 minutes from NYX. Art Deco touches, breakfast, included minibar drinks and the communal Living Bar give it a sociable feel. A good choice for couples spending several nights in Amsterdam; book a canal-view room for the full setting.

Staying Longer
- Jordaan – Choose this neighbourhood for canal walks, independent shops and leisurely café mornings. It suits a longer Amsterdam stay with nightlife as one part of the trip. Allow approximately 20–30 minutes on foot to NYX, depending on your hotel.
- De Pijp – A good base for restaurants, brunch and the Albert Cuyp Market, with the Museum Quarter nearby. Stay toward the northern end for an easier walk to the party, approximately 20–30 minutes.
