I went with my girlfriend and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and genuinely wholesome. 💛 We had the most delicious hummus – usually hummus comes with a strong cumin flavour, but this one didn’t, which made it absolutely perfect. 🧆✨ The drinks were also very good. It’s a great spot for meeting new people, enjoying a fun night out, playing pool for free and gathering your tribe. 🎱🍹 Such a warm, community-feeling place. We will definitely be going back. 🌟

Great atmosphere and the nicest bartender! I recommend the spicy mango beer — such a unique taste.

Came in here twice with my gay boys, mind you I’m a lesbian and wanted to bring them here after going to a gay bar and bar hopping for the night…I had them go 15-20 minutes out of the way on our bar stops.. came in, it took at least 10 minutes to be helped, and they gave us nasty looks and weren’t at all responsive. It’s surprising because we came from Prik and other gay bars where they were more than happy to take care of us..and then came here, and it was almost as if we were an annoyance to them. I’m surprised this place is still open after snubbing us. Not very accepting of anyone outside of the L in the LGBTQ..considering the bartenders weren’t even remotely attractive enough to be acting like that. There’s a reason lesbian bars are dying in the community,..this might be why.

Not inclusive for those who belong to the community. We were asked to leave with no explanation after being inside for two minutes as we were just simply looking at the menu. No one even greeted us. How embarrassing of you. I feel sad for this place. It has build itself on the false idea of ‘inclusivity’ where it has simply gone ethically broke. So be aware before you come here: the way you look like must fit a certain way. How hypocritical! Anyway… we didn’t even question their decision. There is no need to continue paying attention or providing your hard-worked money for such establishement in this economy. Sashay away!

Delicious cocktails you can tell the bartenders really put in the effort to make it yummy. We got Moscow mules. There’s also a pool table downstairs. The space is not that large though.

Great vibes even on a Thursday, early in the night. Bar was moderately full by 10, music is all the best gay anthems (inc. Supercut by Lorde...). Staff was super friendly and gave good recs.

Staff are extremely warm and welcoming and are a perfect fit for such a beautiful bar with incredible queer history. The display of inclusively from the venue and its staff made me feel safe and comfortable from the second I stepped in. And having come direct from the UK, that really meant a lot to me. Can't wait to bring my girlfriend here next time we visit. Thank you for a lovely afternoon <3 Lesbian, Sapphic, Trans inclusive, queer, oh and great music!

I come here every time I am in Amsterdam for amazing friendly atmosphere and good cold beer. New owners are looking to turn this place around and keep it open for many more years to come. Come, have a beer, and support the oldest lesbian bar in the Netherlands

In my one week stay, I came here twice so I have to give this place five stars. When you find a divey bar where are you feel welcome, the prices are fair, and you can actually hear each other talk, I see that as an ultimate adult win. Nestled down a cozy side street, this lesbian bar is inclusive to all kinds of kind people. The bartenders were incredibly nice, as were a ton of the patrons. The downstairs has a little bit of the younger crowd, playing pool, the middle ground has the bar, and the top is more of like a gathering space. We spent most of our time there. They are a little booths that surround one giant table. I love the prices are really fair. It is 5 euros for a good local beer or a shot/drink. They also have some little snacks that you can try if you're interested. Just some good bar snacks so don't come too hungry.

A classical lesbian bar in a charming neighbourhood of Amsterdam! But everyone is welcome. If you want to play pool listening to nice (80's) music this is the place - just be aware that the pool table area is also a smoking room. If you're not into pool, you can stay at the bar chilling or in one of the tables upstairs. Sometimes (I'm not really sure how often and at what time) they use the TV to show some sport events and a DJ playing on the pool table room. They have wine, beer, whisky and some other drinks and snacks. The building is not huge, but spacious. It's more intimate and the public is in average older than in other famous lesbian spots like Vive La Vie. It's a cash only venue so don't forget to bring some bills!

This cozy bar located on Elandstraat & Hazenstraat has a full bar and beer on tap. They serve a small lunch along with snacks, sweets and apple pie. They have a pool table downstairs in a closed in area. There appear to be three main spaces with the first being the area right in front of the bar with the bar stools. The second area is the area with the pool table and the third area is the upper floor up a steep flight of stairs that has tables and chairs. They have a television and also some kind of projector maybe for television as well.

As far as I can tell, this is a Gay Bar for ladies. Go girls go! We stopped in here and got 1.2 Liter Jupilers for €4,50 and a half pint of some other delicious brew on tap for €3,50. One of the bartenders is an American from Dallas who's been in Amsterdam for 10 years. Overall a very nice place for a beer. Has a largish smoking room with pool in the downstairs section and an upstairs with seating. Played pinqradio all night long :)

Pop in here if you're after a bit of nostalgia in a welcoming environment. There's a good selection of drinks and a small menu with tasty bits and bites. Small, but not too cramped.

Apparently, the staff doesn't care attitude. No manners, quite rude and mean. The place is empty, small and narrow. Personally, I'd prefer the other bars in the city.
