Not inclusive of trans men. Behind the times. The bar tender was very rude telling me that the bar is only for men, not trans men. Reply to DD's reply: Let’s be clear about what you just wrote: Your bartender explicitly told me the bar is 'only for men, not trans men.' That is direct discrimination. You claim trans men are welcome, but then state that access is based on being 'recognized as male by staff.' This means a trans man is only allowed in if he passes a subjective visual test. You stated that it is 'entirely up to me' if I want to face being 'described and judged by others.' Blaming the patron for the dehumanizing scrutiny your establishment enforces is textbook gaslighting. Finally, the irony of a gay men's bar gatekeeping trans men is staggering. The modern Pride movement exists because trans and gender-nonconforming people fought back at Stonewall. When the AIDS epidemic devastated gay men, it was lesbians and trans men who stepped up to care for them when the medical establishment and the world turned their backs. For a queer venue to reduce trans men to whether or not they satisfy a cis-centric gaze at the door is a massive betrayal of our history. Thank you for confirming that your bar is actively unsafe and unwelcoming.

I arrived on Tuesday night for my first visit. Johnny, the bartender, was great at serving drinks and was a very friendly guy. I had a great time going out three nights in a row. Definitely will be back again

This is a place that is supposed to be inclusive toward the LGBT community. However, the man who was at the reception desk displayed a particularly hostile and unwelcoming attitude. He was neither kind nor professional in the advice he provided to LGBT tourists, especially to French visitors.

Average place, mostly cruising area. As soon as you walk in, you got to order drink, I understand why and it’s not for everyone, what impression you want to give people when they leave, that’s the experience.

The service is great and the bartender is friendly. I really enjoyed it there went every night during my stay in Amsterdam. Lot's of action going on, just unbelievable. I will definitely be back.
