Where one falls, another rises from its ashes. The notorious Club Exit died an early death and now there’s a new kid in town: NYX. The numerous glow-in-the-dark stairs, the techno blasts and live music on different levels as well as the wood, rusty metal and concrete graffiti-clad walls of this gay-friendly venue put one in mind of a Berlin squat, which is a refreshing deviation from most of Amsterdam's polished hotspots. Visit NYX for an adventure and to mingle with the clientele, which is neither exclusively gay or straight, but beware of stealthy and not-so-stealthy looks.
