Café ’t Leeuwtje
‘The Little Lion’ stands out from the rest of the venues on this street – snazzy it ain’t, the music doesn’t thump loudly and the interior feels a bit like a brown cafe. A fairly extensive beer selection makes it a prime place to chat or chill with a newspaper.

Prik
‘Sexy snacks and liquids’ is the motto of this peppy retro bar with an ‘I’ve just redone my loft’ clientele of 20- to 30-somethings. Live DJs spin pop, house and dance discs.

Montmartre
Beneath outrageous ceiling decorations, patrons sing loudly to Dutch ballads and top-40 songs. It’s like a gay Eurovision. Regarded by many as the Benelux’s best gay bar.

Cuckoo’s Nest
A small, busy bar said to have the largest ‘playroom’ in Europe. You could spend a whole night exploring the labyrinth of cubicles and glory holes.
