Visit EqualdexLocated in the vibrant neighborhood of the Pijp, this gay/queer hotspot is where girls meet in Amsterdam to have a damn good time. But wait, don't let the "lesbian bar" label fool you - everyone is welcome to join the party!
Looking for the perfect spot to kickstart your evening? Bar Buka is where it's at, my friends. They've created a safe haven for the queer community, a place where you can be your fabulous self and surround yourself with like-minded souls. No fancy dress code, no snooty door policies - just good vibes and a whole lot of love.
Whether you're flying solo or rolling deep with your squad, Bar Buka will greet you with open arms (and a cold, refreshing Heineken or your favorite high-quality brew). Feeling a bit peckish? They've got you covered with finger food, and here's a little secret - you can even bring your own snacks. Talk about a win-win!
Now, let's talk entertainment. Bar Buka knows how to keep the good times rolling. Catch live sports games on their screens, especially football (because who doesn't love a good match?). Grab a seat at the bar or cozy up at a table while you enjoy the action. And for those looking to unleash their competitive spirit, they've got a box full of board games to keep the laughter and fun going all night long.
But that's not all, folks. Bar Buka is a hotbed of events and activities that'll have you coming back for more. Are you ready to showcase your hidden singing talent at their Karaoke nights? Or perhaps you want to unleash your creative side at the Queer Crafting Circle, where women loving women get crafty and make amazing things together. Bring your own crafts or learn a new skill with the help of fellow craft enthusiasts. From knitting and crochet to embroidery and origami, the possibilities are endless!
Oh, and did we mention the incredible art on display? Bar Buka proudly exhibits work created by women in the community. Paintings, photos, drawings, poems - you name it, they've got it. Every two months, they feature a different artist, so if you're an artist yourself, bring your framed masterpieces along with a short story about you and your creative journey. It's a chance to shine and connect with others who appreciate your talent.
So, my lovely queer women, if you're looking for a lesbian bar in Amsterdam that's bursting with positive energy, creativity, and a whole lot of love, Bar Buka is the place to be.
