Our Take on Q-Factory
Q-Factory is a music venue at Atlantisplein 1 in Amsterdam Oost, near Oostpoort, that doubles as the city's communal living room for Ajax. I amsterdam describes watching football here with 600 of your closest friends, with matches played live on a huge screen in the big hall.
The format is event based rather than pub based. Screening nights for Ajax fixtures, including Champions League and Klassieker matches, appear on the venue's agenda and its event pages, and the hall fills with a partisan home crowd.
The bars serve the hall at venue scale, so rounds move fast, and the sound system treats the commentary like a concert. The roar at a goal is the reason to cross the city for it.
Set against the pubs in our Amsterdam sports bar coverage, Q-Factory is the one to choose when the fixture is Ajax and you want fans rather than tourists around you.
