via Stay22About this place Café Montmartre
Café Montmartre, on Halvemaansteeg in Amsterdam’s historic center, is a small gay bar that’s won a few awards for being one of the city’s best. It’s the kind of place locals go, where the staff remembers faces and you actually feel welcome.
Amsterdam’s always been an easy place to be queer in Europe, with gay bars and clubs all over. Some are big, with dance floors and theme nights. Montmartre isn’t that. It’s on the smaller side, cozier, where you can actually talk to someone. You’ll meet locals here, get a sense of the city’s gay scene beyond the main tourist drags.
The awards mean something: local LGBTQ+ residents like it. That’s usually a good sign a place is doing things right. It’s also right in the center, so it’s easy to pop in for a drink after seeing other things in town.

Had a wonderful evening!
Bar for right-wing fags, but nice
Amazing bar! Came here on a Thursday and had a very good time meeting the locals and being welcomed in! Very nice to see actual Dutch in this spot rather than all tourist. No food served here, but came back two other times within my trip I enjoyed it so much.
Quite bad
