About this place The Otherside

The Otherside is the gay coffeeshop on Reguliersdwarsstraat, running since 1985 at the quieter west end of the street. It is a standard Amsterdam coffeeshop with a cannabis menu at the counter, plus coffee and soft drinks. The difference is the crowd, which is mostly queer, and the pop-heavy soundtrack. It opens every day from 10:00 to midnight. That makes it one of the few places on the street where you can sit down in the afternoon before the bars open. No alcohol is served, and staff will walk first-timers through the menu.

The rest does not apply. I go there to do ecstatic dance. Lovely large space.

Program info regarding the Aware concert was unclear; the concert ended up starting much later. A completely different atmosphere than the concert description (starting from silence). 75 euro ticket - sound quality mediocre, often the music/lyrics weren't even clearly audible due to a lot of talking people and other noise in between. 6.50 for a can of ginger beer where they won't even pour the can empty! Doesn't fit in the glass, very peculiar. Give me the Heartfire concerts any day, where the music and Sacred Space take center stage.

It was my first time and I got the feeling that a rented hall is for weddings or something. Not really a club feeling. But maybe it was because of the Full House party I was at. Other parties I saw, like R&B Legends, had a completely different vibe. So it can go either way. I'd say discover it for yourself.
