    We stumbled wanting to find a toilet on outskirts of red light district & found this bar to be really friendly.

    Had to snap shot the "ladiee" at the bar somone should have told her its not lady like to grab a ladies boobs & say how jealous they are!! haha

    Anything goes CLEARLY

    *Update 2007* Looks like the bar has changed name, changed hands & more then likely clientelle as it seems to advertise English sport. Perhaps head towards Zeedijk street for another gay friendly bar

    Gay scene: ARC

    Busy night at ARC
    by tvdm
    ARC totally fits in the lounge rage that hit European shores a few years ago. And although the lazy Sundays where French artists like Air, St.Germain and Dimitri from Paris featured prominently on the sound systems are long gone, ARC still remains a firm favourite with the gay and straight scene alike. Its secret? A healthy blend of good food and drinks in sleek sourroundings. Do not miss daily happy hour (5pm-7pm) when cocktails are only €5 each!

    This one is recommended for its hip clientele and is great for an early-evening snack, a casual gathering of friends or lazy Sunday cocktail-sipping. ARC has been my favourite bar for a good while now and I'm sure it's going to stay that way for quite another while.

    Put in a bit of effort. Look at the website and judge for yourself!

    Ever seen Queer as Folk ? Ever wondered what Babylon is like in real life ? Come to Gayclub Exit !! It's not big, but has 4 areas and a darkroom.... check out the toilets ! A bit expensive but normal for Amsterdam standards ! A lot of cute guys, especially tourists, a lot of queers, asian boys and muscle marry's ! There is something for everyone's taste. Ans if u cant wait to go back to your hotelroom there is always the darkroom on the topfloor !! make sure u don't lose your wallet. There is a room with dutch and eurovision music, one with club/house/trance, one with R&B and one with rap/hiphop.

    Shirt on, shirt off, nobody cares

    By the Eden Hotel, off the river Amstel is the GAY area of town. The guys there told me they hated be called GAY, but the FAG was better. I have the best night out with them, and am still in contact with one even to this day.

    slutty... gay boy style.

    Get an English-style bar, place it in what is still the main gay street of Amsterdam and add a diverse mix of patrons. Sounds like you'd visit a watering hole that sticks out like a sore thumb, right? Nope, Soho actually achieves to mix the olde-world posh library-style place with the good-looking guests quite effortlessly. Great place to visit for quiet weekday drinks or busy weekend parties alike!

    Just put some nice gear on, for crying out loud! :)

    This tip is courtesy of my friend Han, we have visited this bar together some time ago to enjoy a friendly atmosphere and bittebollen (a dutch delight served with mustard). The bar welcomes gay & straight people alike

  • This is a large three-in-one: grand-cafe during the day, where you can have a late breakfast, lunch, sip a coffee and read the papers, a restaurant during the evening, and a trendy bar at night, when the reading table collapses into the floor to form a dance floor. Predominantly gay public.

    On the first night of my first trip to Amsterdam, Brian and Jeroen took me here for Cosmos before dinner. On my most recent trip, we stopped in just as the place had opened, for a couple before heading off to dinner. It's pretty spot with lots of different seating areas. There are small tables and large tables, mini bar-like counters w/bar stools and couches by picture windows that lead out to a really pretty garden.

    This time around I tried a fun 'n fruity concoction that was a lot like Mojito and so pretty!

    It's a Gay bar. Look your best!

    By the way, their website isn't available (at least not now). I've put in a link to an alternate one that has reviews, etc. on it.

    These nightlife tips are courtesy of Han, this gay bar has been recently refurbished and it is a slightly older crowd. Straight or gay alike will be welcome for a drink here.

    They arrange live entertainment on some nights

  • The gay scene is amsterdam is big but not that varied, you have a lot of bars/clubs cattering for the leather and older crowd.
    Otherwise it;s the queenie ones in bars on the amstel, they are nice, good ambience and mainly frequented by the Dutch which is a nice change. Enuff of the yanks or the brits!! JOKE!!!!
