Spijker is one of those Amsterdam gay bars that feels more like your slightly naughty living room than a nightclub. Tucked away in the Kerkstraat, it’s got a loyal local following and plenty of character packed into its cosy interior.
Yes, there’s a pool table, and it’s the unofficial centerpiece. Add a fireplace, fresh flowers on the bar, and you’ve got charm with a wink. Two TVs provide the entertainment: one looping cartoons, the other showing uhhh something else, because why not? It’s Amsterdam, after all.
Upstairs you’ll find the toilets.
