Hey 👋 I'm just someone who loves exploring Amsterdam's alternative side and figured others might too.

[offbeat amsterdam] was built to make it easier to find cool, less visible events in one place. The site utilizes a beautiful community-oriented open-source platform that's been customized and expanded to help events appear more quickly and with less effort.

While the focus is on the alternative scene, you might spot the occasional mainstream event--sometimes they’re worth checking out too.

This is a personal project that's been worked on for a while, and it'll keep evolving and improving. The event details are regularly updated, but please note they're always subject to change, so it's a good idea to double-check before heading out. If you have any questions, suggestions, want to get involved, or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out at hello@offbeat.amsterdam.

Either way, I do hope this site will help you discover something new ✌️
