What we’re about
Based in Amsterdam, we are the largest and coolest international community in the Netherlands. We’re a social club for Amsterdam expats with an international membership that includes both recently relocated expats and long-term residents. Our doors are open to everyone. Whether you are an expat, a Dutch who's internationally oriented, or simply a traveller passing through, you're all welcome to join our growing multicultural family.
On a weekly basis, we host a range of networking and social events at various locations in the city, where expats and locals can gather to meet interesting people, create valuable connections and foster new friendships. Our events are always conducted in a friendly and welcoming environment.
We meet up regularly to: drink & mingle at various Amsterdam hotspots, explore the city's good food with social dining, watch comedy shows and plays, go clubbing and dancing, watch and play games and sports, go on special trips and rides... and other authentic Amsterdam experiences.

See all- THANK GØD IT'S FRIDAY @ NeLBrasserie Nel, Amsterdam
For our next TGIF, let's hang out in one of our favourite spots in Amsterdam. This evening, we get to welcome members from the Amsterdam Parties group as well. So it'll be lots of fun!
NeL is located right in the heart of the canal belt, in the charming square of the Amstelveld. Situated just behind the buzzing Rembrandtplein, it's super convenient to start here and head elsewhere to another party if you don't wish the night to end.
We have access to both indoor and outdoor space: A dedicated lounge area plus some high tables at the heated terrace. We'll hang out, share some stories, play some games, make new friends and create awesome new memories.
