Cruise bars / clubs
Amsterdam’s cruise bars and clubs are where the city trades terrace cocktails for harnesses and dark corners. The best known is Club Church in Kerkstraat, a fetish and dance institution famous for its weekly underwear nights. Some evenings lean toward sweaty dance floors, others toward unapologetic cruising.
Most of the action, however, clusters around Warmoesstraat near Central Station. Here you’ll find legendary spots like Eagle, which doesn’t really wake up until after midnight. For earlier thrills, Bears Amsterdam and Cuckoo' s Nest open in the afternoon and buzz with after-work regulars.
In short: whether you’re chasing beats or backrooms, Amsterdam delivers.
Once known as The Web, this long-standing spot has been reborn as Bears Amsterdam, and the name is the game. It’s a bar that caters to bears, their admirers, and anyone who enjoys a pint in a friendly, furry atmosphere more...
