't Mandje
Lonely Planet review for 't Mandje
Amsterdam’s - and perhaps the world’s - oldest gay bar opened in 1927, then shut in 1982, when the Zeedijk grew too seedy. But its trinket-covered interior was lovingly dusted every week until it reopened in 2008. The devoted bartenders can tell you stories about the bar’s brassy lesbian founder, and there’s live jazz and a retro DJ who spins 78s on a Victrola. One of the most gezellig places in the Centrum, gay or straight.
