Bears Amsterdam

Amsterdam’s gay bear scene finally has the home it deserves. Bears Amsterdam is the city’s first-ever bar dedicated entirely to the bear community, a cozy, cruisy, and downright charming space where fur meets fun and every night feels like family.

Tucked in the heart of the city, Bears Amsterdam is warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of wild. Whether you’re a local looking for your new hangout or a traveler sniffing out the best bear bar in town, you’ll find good drinks, better company, and that signature Dutch friendliness with a growl.

Come for the community, stay for the conversation (and maybe a flirt or two). This isn’t just another stop on the gay map, it’s a homecoming for bears, cubs, otters, and admirers alike, so come for the fur and fun at Bears Amsterdam.
