Gay clubs and parties in Amsterdam 2010
Dance: clubs and parties
Club Cockring is the only gay club in Amsterdam that is open 7 days a week. Weekends feature the popular Exit disco in the Reguliersdwarsstraat and there's the small club Roque by the Amstel (young guys). Studio 80 has a mixed crowd and is slightly alternative.
Ever since the famous gay clubs Roxy and iT (and later also Backdoor) were forced to close their doors, the Amsterdam gay dance scene has moved to monthly parties. For the circuit (muscle mary dance parties) please see below.
Amsterdam has many massive dance parties, some of them under famous international brands. At parties like Rapido, White Party, Furball, Bear Necessity or SupermarXte you can move to the beats of international and national DJ's, enjoy the shows put on by VJ's and gogo dancers, and mingle with hundreds of muscled and shirtless boys.
