Escape Venue judgement report
5 star certification by Club Judge
Escape is al jarenlang de nachtelijke blikvanger van het Amsterdamse Rembrandtplein. In de weekenden gebeurt het hier. Alleen al de imposante club heeft een capaciteit van 1200 man, maar daarnaast zijn er ook de strak ingerichte areas Escape De Lux, Studio en Lounge, waar genoeg gebeurt. En dat al 25 jaar lang. Niet voor niets blijft de club zich constant vernieuwen en loopt het voorop als het gaat om innovatieve toepassingen. Zo is er een gigantisch LED-systeem waarop de meest bijzondere visuals en adembenemende lichtshows worden gerealiseerd. In 2007 sleepte de Escape Lounge, mede dankzij het indrukwekkende LED-plafond, de
award voor Best Use of Technology in de wacht. De mensen achter Escape hebben een grenzeloze drang om te blijven vernieuwen. Daarmee is de club zeker een lang leven beschoren.
