Taboo
Taboo is an ideal place since it is in the hub of the famed gay stretch, Reguliersdwarsstraat. It offers a terrace that is suitable for activities such as watching people or drinking until late with your buddies on summer nights.
The owner divided it into 2 areas – a canteen and a bar. With politely dressed bartenders and drag-queen bingo nights make fun and easygoing vibe. The menu is full of special cocktail creations such as tequila sunrise, long island ice tea, espresso martini, etc.
Don’t forget the happy hour from 6 pm to 7 pm on a daily basis!
The Queen’s Head – Bars In Amsterdam
The Queen’s Head’s location is in the old hub of Amsterdam. Connecting the Red Light District, it’s effortless to find.
You can see men with muscles in different stages of undress are green to say hi to you at the window. Go inside the bar, you will find drag queens dancing to a background of chandeliers and red glitter. Visit on Tuesday nights to join drag-queen bingo.
Club Church
When coming to Amsterdam, have some time to worship at Club Church. It is on a busy street full of shops and restaurants on the South of Reguliersdwarsstraat.
This place provides all sorts of kinky such as a weekly naked bar where you can only wear shoes, a leather-to-feather fetish lounge, typical spank parties, etc. If you want to prance around in a sensual jockstrap, they are available to purchase at the door as well.
De Lellebel – Bars In Amsterdam
Located near the corner from visitor-packed Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam’s only drag-show bar is an intimate cafe style lit by candles.
They offer a diverse menu of cocktails and drinks which are not way too pricey. Live activities and theme nights happen every week. You can see drag queens posing outside and are always glad to chitchat with you.
Prik
Prik has been available since 2006. They have international employees and serve a wide range of cocktails, such as Strawberry Cheesecake if you are a big fan of sweet treats.
They also have white and pink prosecco on tap. And of course, an indispensable part – music. In this queer bar, they play pop music so your eardrums can bear it. It’s available until 1 am except for Fridays, remember that.
Cafe ‘t Mandje – Bars In Amsterdam
In 1927, Bet Van Beenen opened the first gay bar in Amsterdam. After she died, her siblings, Greet, took over and operated it until 1982 and then closed.
However, in 2007, Greet decided to resurrect the bar just right before her death. Since then, it’s her niece, Diana Van Laar, who runs the business. She operates it as a part nostalgia shop, a part brown cafe with a billiards table and a jukebox. Especially, the bar has cocktails with unique names such as Blow Job.
De Trut
This non-profit bar is open only on Sundays. The building was a squat and then became a disco named Flux.
After that, a bunch of volunteers began gathering together to serve inexpensive drinks every Sunday night. They ensure that they donate all their earnings to help the LGBTQ community.
The vodka tonic at this place is famous due to its kick. In addition, they have a wifi-free area for people to socialize more easily. However, remember that they ban the act of taking pictures.
