These are some of the best clubs in a city famous for its nightlife, after all. Don’t be surprised if you’re joined at some of these spots by groups of open-minded straight people looking for a night out to remember. The best gay bars and clubs in Amsterdam stretch far and wide across the whole place. This means that the entire city is one big gay scene. The Dutch do things properly, so it is no great shock to learn that Amsterdam’s track record on gay rights is as good as it gets.

There are a lot of reasons to love Amsterdam (a cursory glance at the best things to do here give you plenty of options), but the Dutch capital’s reputation as a haven for liberalism and open-mindedness is right at the top.
