Room to dance, and a bar worth staying for
The floor
Over 140 m² of wood in a 200 m² room, with a sound system you feel in your feet. Space for every turn pattern you know.
The bar
A lounge with cocktails and a rum collection that is worth the trip on its own.
The crowd
Dancers from all over Amsterdam and travellers from across Europe and further. You come alone and you leave knowing half the room.
The music
Salsa and bachata all night, mostly from DJay, now and then with a DJ from the early days. Meet the DJs

Twenty-one years of Club Mystique
The name you remember, in a room built for dancing
For 21 years, Club Mystique was where Amsterdam danced salsa, first in the Spaarndammerstraat and later in the Smaksteeg in the city centre. The biggest names in latin music played there: Issac Delgado, La Excelencia, Jimmy Bosch and many more. Today Club Mystique Fridays live on in our own venue in Noord, with the same people behind the bar and the music, and now and then a DJ from the early days back behind the decks.

Before your first Friday
Do I need a partner?
No. Most people come alone or with friends and dance with everyone.
I just started dancing. Is this for me?
Yes. Beginners and experienced dancers share the floor. Want to learn first? On Fridays Salsa4Fun teaches a regular course from 7 pm in the same building, right before the party. The style changes per course block; see the courses on salsa4fun.com.
What does it cost?
€7, online or at the door. Same price either way.
Is Club Mystique still at the Smaksteeg?
No. Club Mystique closed its doors at Smaksteeg 19 with two farewell parties in January 2023. Before that, from 2002 to 2015, the club was in the Spaarndammerstraat. Today Club Mystique Fridays take place every Friday from 21:00 to midnight at dance school Salsa4Fun, Klaprozenweg 19a in Amsterdam-Noord.
Is there a dress code?
Come as you like. We do appreciate a little care: fresh clothes and fresh breath make every dance better for both of you. Clean dance shoes are welcome on our wooden floor (not required, but your partner's toes will thank you). And dressing up for a night out? That earns you bonus points.
