Bar Buka Amsterdam

Highly recommend this lesbian bar in the De Pijp neighborhood. Our stay in Amsterdam coincided with some games for the Women's Euros. We enjoyed watching the games live in the bar. Very friendly staff, accessible menus if you are unsure what to get, and a queer friendly atmosphere.

Great bar with good prices for cocktails especially for Amsterdam. Will say that the crowd is not university students age though. But really fun vibe

My boyfriend and I felt very welcome here! The bartender was so nice and the cocktails tasted very good. It is not very loud in there and it is just a very cute and wholesome bar. They also have one gender neutral toilet which is awesome for trans folks. 🏳️‍⚧️🌈

Very chill, casual place to hang - in went to watch women's football and the crowd wasn't overwhelming but was definitely into the game. The service is great and the drinks are good also. I didn't have anything to eat but the frites/fries I saw someone else had looked delicious! The patrons are relatively friendly and it seems to have 50% primarily Dutch speaking/50% primarily English speaking patrons. It's a casual place to hang but if you're sapphic, it's a nice place to meet people and chat! I'll be going back on my next trip to 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.

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.

My girlfriend and I came here yesterday for the first time and we loved the chill and welcoming vibe. Marianne, the owner, was very kind and thoughtful (she noticed I had removed the mint garnish from my drink and brought my next drink with a different garnish). We’ll definitely be back!

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!

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.
