About this place Bears Amsterdam

Bears Amsterdam is a bear and men's cruise bar on Sint Jacobsstraat, a side street off Nieuwendijk in the old centre. It occupies the premises that were The Web for decades, and reopened under the new name in May 2025 according to our records. The crowd leans toward beards, bigger guys and leather, and it's mostly regulars. It opens at 18:00 Monday to Wednesday and from 13:00 Thursday to Sunday, closing at 02:00 on Friday and Saturday, so it gets an afternoon crowd at weekends. The Cuckoo's Nest is two minutes away, which makes this corner the cruisier alternative to Reguliersdwarsstraat.

Hi I’m a crossdresser “boy” that dress like a girl. Is it possible for me to enter to the bar. And also to the darkroom? My woman trans friend can enter?

Nice bar, had some good encounters here. More quiet than the CCN bar near, seems to be same owner. But here quality above quantity. This place is good when you are looking for the right guy and not be in a hurry. Still some crowd fom the CCN switching places, but most leave soon luckily.
