Everybody is welcome to our attitude free party! Bear-Necessity has established itself as one of Amsterdam’s most popular parties attracting bears and their admirers from Amsterdam, as well as from abroad. Bear-Necessity is proud to host DJs from the main circuit and from the underground scene. The music and sound at Bear-Necessity has a reputation of uplifting, sophisticated and fun while our DJs put an emphasis on playing quality tracks and not only the obvious. Panama Amsterdam is its new location. This fantastic club has a capacity of maximum 1150 people and it boasts an excellent sound with the Pioneer new sound system. Bear-Necessity has been described by visitors as a no-attitude event where people can meet dance and socialize. Bear-Necessity creates a relaxed atmosphere where people are coming to enjoy themselves and dance the night away. It is funny to admit, but we have seen many “new” couples for the night leaving for home together …

Sjag Kozak van der Horst, founder and promotor, launched Bear-Necessity (or simply called ‘BN’) early 2008 in Amsterdam, it’s home base. Since then BN expanded into regular parties in London & Antwerp, Brussels, Athens, as well as events in Cologne, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Alpe d’Huez, Rome & Tel Aviv.
