Gay Bars Amsterdam
The main trendy bars can be found in the gay street of Amsterdam: the Reguliersdwarsstraat (remember that name!). In summer the street is now free of cars in the evenings and if the weather's good, people sit around on the street until late. More party bars with a more local Dutch crowd can be found on the Amstel river / Halvemaansteeg.
For the cruise bars please visit our PLAY section in the menu on the left.
