Cruise BAR
Bears Amsterdam is the city’s first dedicated bear bar, focused on the bear community within the LGBTQ+ scene. This subculture includes larger, often hairier men and their admirers. The bar opened in May 2025, taking over the location of The Web, a well-known gay cruising bar that had been part of Amsterdam’s nightlife for 39 years.
The upstairs darkroom features cabins, glory holes, and slings, creating a private and playful atmosphere. Regular events, such as the monthly “Bereborrel” (Bear Social), BLUF Sunday Socials, “Slutfaming” (All Gender), “Queer Cumedy Night” foster a strong sense of community.
Located in the heart of the city, Bears Amsterdam offers a cozy, masculine atmosphere. It regularly hosts events, including themed nights and social gatherings, and aims to be a welcoming space for bears, cubs, chubs, daddies, and their friends.
Entry is free, but a drink purchase is required. You must be 18+ to join. Nudity is allowed, but shoes are mandatory. We are a "safe sex zone"—consent is a must.
