Taboo is a great place to go for a night out. The music is fantastic, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is really fun. The stained glass windows are a nice touch, and the staff, particularly Monique and Sam, really know how to throw a party. Prices are normal for Amsterdam. The bar is on the small side, but that just adds to the cozy atmosphere.
