Jimmy Woo
Jimmy Woo is a bar located in Amsterdam's basement level that specializes in cocktails and entertainment. The space features multiple levels creating an intimate setting, alongside a curated drink menu and regular live music or DJ performances.
The bar opened in the early 2000s and quickly became a well-known meeting spot in Amsterdam. Its development tracks closely with the city's modern cocktail culture and growing entertainment scene.
Named after a Chinese jazz musician, this place reflects that musical heritage in its design and atmosphere. Visitors experience a blend of Eastern and Western influences that shape how the space looks and what happens here.
The venue is best visited in the evening and on weekends when events are happening and the crowd is active. The staircase down to the entrance can be narrow, so comfortable clothing helps with navigation.
The name references Jimmy Woo, a real Chinese jazz musician from the mid-20th century, giving the bar a backstory beyond typical venue naming. This reference reflects the cosmopolitan inspiration that shaped the place.
