DIRTY DICKS
Dirty Dicks is a famously sleazy gay cruise bar on Warmoesstraat, offering a no-frills, anything-goes vibe. Spread across two floors, its darkrooms are packed with features like slurp ramps, slings, cabins, a shower-fall, glory holes, and intimate corners for action.
There’s no cover charge—just make sure to buy at least one drink upon entry. While the bar leans fetish-friendly, there’s no dress code unless it’s a special themed night. Dirty Dicks is small but notorious, and it really comes alive after midnight.

CUCKOO´S NEST
Cuckoo’s Nest is a gay cruise bar in Amsterdam, known for its large basement play area featuring a labyrinth of cabins, including a dedicated watersports section.
The action kicks off early in the afternoon and picks up after 17:00, making it a popular spot before the Warmoesstraat bars start buzzing around midnight.
Be sure to order a drink before heading downstairs. Condoms are available at the bar and in dispensers. Use the coat check to store valuables—dark spaces can attract pickpockets.
