Kerkstraat

Spijker Bar, a gay bar since 1978, is at Kerkstraat 4. Naked Tuesday is men-only. Other nights the site says heterosexual visitors are guests. Club Church, further along the street, did not yield a readable first-party hours page and is not listed.

Getting oriented

Think of this as an area to know, not a border.

Queer life spills across Amsterdam. This page simply groups places that are easy to combine in one outing.

Getting there
Trams toward Leidseplein or the Vijzelgracht metro are the usual arrivals. Number 4 is the western end of Kerkstraat, not the Amstelveld end.
Accessibility
Street, building, lift, toilet, seating, and sensory access vary by venue. Check the exact venue when access is important.
