Friendly bar

great for people watching on the canal. Pleasant sitting outside if you can get a seat, and don't mind others smoking near you. Only 1 beer on tap - Grolsch which I don't really like. Plenty of choice with bottles though

Worth a stop in

Nice bar with friendly staff. More of a starter bar though. Very small inside, with a good patio. Seemed to cater to an older crowd. Nice place to have a drink before hitting the other bars.

Best place in Amsterdam

Great place to hang out, start your evening out, meet hot guys, leather, bear everybody is there and everybody is welcome. Really a super asset to the gay scene in Amsterdam.
