Super cute bar in Amsterdam.

The drink menu was pretty cool, with all the standard bar stuff, and some really cute cocktails. We had the Strawberry Espresso Martini which was delightful. We also grabbed the toasties and bitterballen, which were delicious as well.

Over the years, Prik is still one of my favorite gay bars in Amsterdam. Prik is located a bit…read moreoutside the central gay areas, and by itself, so it is sort of a destination spot. It's small inside but since Covid they have outdoor street tables with service. The atmosphere is laid back but still pink and festive. The bartenders are super friendly and nice. Drinks are good, prices are fair. When it is crowded, it can take awhile to get your drinks, but that's expected. Over the years I've acquired a few I Love Prik t-shirts because they are quirky conversation starters LOL.

Surprisingly, bartender Nordin remembered me and ran over to say hello! That made me feel at home! The bar has been completely renovated, with the bar counter in the opposite side now. The rest room is still up a steep, narrow flight of stairs. Hold onto the bannister especially after a few happy hour drinks. I'm not sure why many centuries old Amsterdam buildings have restrooms on the top floor. Gravity? Happy hour is the busiest time with cocktail tables full inside and out. Good and cheap drinks, nice bottles of wine, and complimentary hors d'oeuvres. It's a friendly place mostly full of regulars. Taboo has also expanded next door to Taboo Cantina where you can sit and have more food.

Located minutes from Vondelpark, in Leidseplein, this is probably the most famous Gay clubs in…read moreAmsterdam, and can be quite intimidating to even the most seasoned event attendees. The front entrance is not very welcoming and if you're not there at the right time the doors may be locked. There may be daily events which you can view on their website. On some days there are two separate events so it may be closed while they switch over and clean for the second event. When you enter, walk through the two doors and greet the nice people at the window. Pay your entrance fee with pin, cash or debit and they will give you a tag and direct you to the coat check. They will give you a hanger and a number you need to stick in your sock or somewhere (very old school). Then you go to a little room (they can see you changing from the main room) and remove your clothing or change into whatever, put your street clothes on the hangar or into the backpack or bag (which I certainly hope you brought) and return it to them. After this, you are free to do what you want. On the main level there is the bar and stage. You can dance or socialize. There are steps upstairs or downstairs. Downstairs there are several dark rooms and showers, bathrooms and sinks. The darkrooms are so dark I can't describe what's in there. You need to see for yourself. There are separate cabins where you can lock the doors and there are slings in some of them. The other rooms I could not see. Upstairs is a nice view of the bar and the main stage. Off to the left are two slings and a big mattress area, a few smaller rooms with GHs. There is something for everyone here but if you just want to hang out and chat with friends, that works too, but mostly on the main level. Things to note: There are no towels for the showers. They provide condoms and I'm not sure if it's lube or hand sanitizer - so think about that. They have many friendly staff or volunteers standing and walking around willing to help or answer questions. They also pick up empty glasses or bottles which is important. My advice is to not stress and just go in and have fun. You can always leave if you want to. Everyone is very nice and feeling the same way as you are. Don't let this chance pass you by if you're visiting Amsterdam and the Leidseplein area. Gay, straight, bi are welcome. No judgement or rules. You'll thank me later.

They have different themes and some nights you need to leave your clothing at the door, but don't let that intimidate you, you can wear something in if you want to. There is no entrance fee and it's a very nice space, cozy, but spacious, also an upstairs where the toilets are, and a dark room. Friendly bartenders and a lot of locals, regulars visit here.
