William Higgins Le Salon

(4 Ratings)
Classic Amsterdam sleaze

Opened in 1977, this sex shop and cinema is the former domain of Oklahoma-raised porn master William Higgins (1942—2019), some of whose 1980s works are no doubt screened here either on the big screen (upstairs) or in one of the several ground-floor private cabins. There's a gay/straight thing going on here, with an emphasis on the former, especially considering the provision of glory holes. For the record, Higgins made his (pornographic) name in Florida, then relocated to Amsterdam and finally Prague. This suitably sleazy establishment is located ever so close to Central Station. Linked to Drake's Cruising Club [see entry].
