Jan Bik Buitenwieringenstraat 3-5, tel: 020-622-2785 Also known as JB, this sleazy fuck factory is the cheapest club in Amsterdam at 175NLG/hr (125NLG/half hr). The selection of woman is usually witheringly bad, but to be fair, on recent visits there were a number, mainly eastern Europeans, who were not that bad, but that effect is ruined by the other walking nightmares we witnessed. In general though, as someone recently said, "the women seem resigned to their own unattractiveness". Tacky bar, tiny crummy rooms, and let us not forget to mention the most memorable feature of the place, the sofas. They're abominable, and appear to be collected off the street when people throw them out, they're covered in filthy fitted bed sheets full of cigarette burns, the cushions are so worn out it's like sitting in a hole, the effect is one of tumbling over backwards just before you pass out from the blood rushing to your brain. Unlike the other clubs, hanging around is not desirable, seating is scarce and excruciating, and if you've not made a selection in a short period of time, get out. You'll be glad you did, you were beginning to get real depressed. Some swear by this place, but for us, it just makes us swear.
Incidently, Jan Bik was recently raided (March '02) for employing non EU nationals. The eastern girls are gone as of now.
