Doka is an underground and intimate sound bar where the night, music and other forms of culture come together. The Doka programme is the result of collaborations with Broedplaats VKG – the creative studios within Volkshotel – and artistic talent within and outside Amsterdam. This makes Doka the living room and extension of DJs, artists, live bands and other creatives.
