How many people fit in Club Leidse?
Club Leidse does not publish a capacity for a regular night. Its private and VIP events take up to 100 guests, so expect an intimate room rather than a large hall.
The club shares the Steak Club Leidse room, so the space is the restaurant's dining room after dinner service rather than a purpose-built club hall. That is why the useful comparison is with the much larger Leidseplein venues around it.

Where to eat and drink at Club Leidse
The building is a steak restaurant first and a nightclub later. Eat at Steak Club Leidse, then stay for cocktails and the dance floor; the club itself is a drinks-and-dancing venue, not a late-night restaurant.
Steak Club Leidse serves lunch, drinks and dinner in the same room before the club opens. The menu runs from dry-aged meat and burgers to salads and sea bass, with fish and vegan options.
In the evening the bar mixes cocktails, and at weekends the room turns into the club. If you want a full meal, book the restaurant for the earlier part of the evening; the club's own hours start at 21:00.

What is Club Leidse?
A 25+ nightclub on the edge of Leidseplein, open two nights a week in the same building as Steak Club Leidse.
Club Leidse, also listed as LEIDSE Amsterdam, opened in September 2024 at Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen 11H. The room has a double life: Steak Club Leidse serves lunch, dinner and cocktails earlier in the day, then the space becomes the club.
On Fridays and Saturdays the night runs from 21:00 to 03:00. It opens with smooth ballads and soulful slow jams, then the DJs move through old-school R&B, swingbeats, Motown, hip-hop and Latin/Caribbean tracks. The finale is the club's '10 Minutes of Fire'.
The club has hosted artists including Kybba, Chuckie, Irwan, Biggi and Moortje, and Usher has appeared as a special guest. The crowd is 25+ and the door is strict about ID and dress.
