The most famous name in Amsterdam leather (aside from the RoB chain of stores) is this highly sexed three-level bar with origins as early as 1953. Not the bastion of man-on-man leather abandon that it was in the 1970s and 80s, the Argos nevertheless remains a fixture of the scene, albeit with a higher quotient of textiles and casual footwear than at any time in its sordid history.

Bar itself is really cool inside. Was there on a Sunday and there were only 5 people in the bar. Probably not typical. Small and dark. Back room was deserted. Would try it again.
Packed during pride
This bar is always packed during pride weekend - great bar, always stop by a few times when I'm in Amsterdam.
Good place to hang after midnight
Good bar with darkroom and private booths downstairs. Best in colder months downstairs since the air conditioning barely works down there if they even turn it on. First place to hit late night before heading toward Cockring across street. One of several bars in the area including the Eagle. Many go back and forth between these bars.
