Bar Buka Amsterdam

Very chill and relaxed atmosphere. You can have a drink, and play games here with your date. The tomboy and femme cocktails were good, and we also enjoyed the cheesesticks ! We had a fun time there and will come back next time we visit Amsterdam.

Bar Buka is an absolute gem in Amsterdam! My wife and I are visiting from Florida, and this lesbian bar made us feel so welcomed and at home from the moment we walked in. Marian was incredible—friendly, attentive, and genuinely awesome. The drinks were fantastic, crafted to perfection, and the atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for a fun night out. Whether you're a tourist like us or a local, Bar Buka is a must-visit. It's a safe, inclusive space with great energy and warm hospitality. We can't wait to return the next time we're in Amsterdam!

(Let's try this again I have no idea where my first review went) I was in Amsterdam 4 days and visited Bar Buka 2/4 nights. Both nights they were showing Euros football matches on the back wall, which added to the already great atmosphere. The bartender was attentive and kind. I tried 3 of their gin and tonics: Flor de Sevilla, Royale Princess, and Pink Pleasure. All were delightful but my favourite was the Pink Pleasure. I also tried their chicken bites and both fries (regular and parmesan/truffle) and they were super yummy! Highly recommend for any WLW looking for a bar with great atmosphere and a sense of community.

My girlfriend and I went to this bar yesterday. We really enjoyed the bar, the atmosphere and the sympathetic barkeeper! 😊 We felt safe and had fun! The peachtree spritz is absolutely amazing 🙏🏻 We're looking forward to coming back one day! 😊

This bar was totally amazing. It was an incredible vibe and the bartender paid such close attention to the drinks even though we were largely drinking nonalcoholic drinks since my partner is pregnant. They also had a selection of boardgames and card games for patrons to use.

Travelled 50km with my girlfriend on a saturday night only to find 70% of the bar occupied by straight white men screaming their throat out in karaoke. As lesbians this is not what we want to find when we are searching for a public atmosphere we can feel safe and relaxed in. Completely fair to position yourself as a place open to everyone and anyone, however, in that case the current externally facing image will be a little missleading.

Very good vibe and decoration, I could say it’s a place you can feel very welcomed. There’s different drinks to try too.

Friendly fun group of people. Very welcoming! Fun bar. Check it out:)

Living in Amsterdam for 4 months, Bar Buka was a staple for me and my friends. One of the very few non male-dominated queer spaces in Amsterdam. It is really cute, has good music, and feels quite welcoming! The cocktails are also DELICIOUS! Would recommend the Pink Pleasure. Bartenders were also always very nice!

I'm visiting Amsterdam for the first time and Bar Buka was recommenced to me by a free people who frequent this place. Tonight the Netherlands played Japan in the World Cup so it was a great night to experience a new place. Service was excellent, the owner is pleasant and the patrons were dope. I had a great time and definitely will be back!

I loved this lesbian bar!! I'm from America and heard this is pretty much the only lesbian bar in Amsterdam. There were a lot of young people here and some older people too. There isn't really a dance floor but some people starting dancing later into the night. They played good music and at a good volume to give a party atmosphere.

I love Bar Buka! So fun that there's a lesbian bar, and I love the tagline "where girls meet girls." I didn't meet any girls, but I gave off pretty closed off vibes playing a card game with my friend. Would definitely go again, the vibes were on point and it was nice that there was a board game meetup there!

We were there on a very quiet night. Atmosphere was calm and friendly. The owner seems to be enthousiast and friendly host. Nice beer and bitterballen. It is so nice that we have this bar in Amsterdam. Only two of them. Just a place to be and have a nice conversation with your wife. We will definitely come back also for one of the event nights.
