What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, and the entertaining drag queens who are described as funny and stunning. However, some reviewers found the show to be amateurish with queens not knowing lyrics or lip-syncing poorly, and the food was sometimes called mediocre.

About this place 't Sluisje

At 't Sluisje the drag queens are also your waitresses: the tiny canal-side restaurant on the Torensteeg has been serving three-course dinners with a show since 1995, and it remains one of the most reliably fun nights out in the centre. The formula is fixed and beloved — you book a seating, the queens serve, insult and serenade in equal measure, and by dessert the whole room is usually singing. Menus are simple Dutch-international; nobody comes for the food alone, but it holds its own. Book ahead, especially weekends — the room seats a few dozen at most. Great for birthdays and for introducing drag-show sceptics to the art form.

Great atmosphere. Very nicely done. You can sing along, and everyone joins in automatically.

A fantastically fun evening full of entertainment and amazing drag queens. They radiate so much love to the audience. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Staff were rude and overcharged us by a lot. The food was not amazing and the drag artists just mimed badly and stood at the bar most of the night. Do not recommend at all!
