A must go! Great music, great drinks and just an overall fun atmosphere. Make sure you see Monique and Sam, they really know how to throw a party! And make sure to check out the unique “stained glass windows.” So much fun, ten out of ten would recommend!

We are visiting from London, where we are use to order double Hendricks gin tonic. Barman at Taboo served us the cocktail with lemon, lime and cucumber in it, while Hendricks must be known to be served with cucumber. Anyway, 41 euros for 2 double gin tonic! We left!! This is absolutely a rob! Never seen this price in any gay bar! The day before, We went to Taboo (and had great time) and to Blend. We paid between 22 - 30 euros max for double gin tonics (which is normal prices) Different barman - Different prices though. Still in shock for 41 euros! Shame on you guys! Stop ripping off your customer/visitors!

Being recently often there and im so dissapointed of staff. Very rude and impolite. Of course their behaviour come from above. We were a group of guys and we left without ordering coz the bartender didnt want to serve us but to someone who came much more later. And also another bartender on other side was trying to avoid a couple waiting to order. Pffff ridiculous!

A fun gay bar with 2 floors for dancing and hanging out. The bartenders were extremely nice and made good drinks. The crowd was fun and spill out into the street outside. A mix between youthful and more mature people. The music was great.

Great place with amazing service! I love the music and the vibes are really friendly. Is my favorite gay bar in Ámsterdam to enjoy the party ❤️ completely recommended. You can also enjoy delicious food!

Terrible bar with awful, rude bar staff. Ordered a round of drinks, despite repeating myself several times, but barman got my order wrong, refused to change it to the correct order and then forced me to pay for drinks I didn’t want. Will not be going back and refuse to give them any more of my money.

The waiter and the service and all was great. I'm giving only 1 star because they hired an I think somewhat mentally challenged security guard, which on its own is not a problem, but this guy is extremely aggressive. I saw him punch a customer in the face for no reason at all. The guy fell on the ground and was extremely upset afterwards. He was crying and clearly in shock. The whole terrace was appalled and tried to comfort him, none of us could understand why this happened. I'm actually still in shock now myself. I hope this will be reported to the police and the security guard will be (at least!) fired. And to the guy it happened to, I hope you are okay <3

Favorite gay bar to go to and the people there are the best. I love going on Sundays especially because of the wonderful drag shows. The owner and bartenders are the best and we love the bar queen Emma. This is a spot to visit.

Do not go here under any circumstance if you are not from the Netherlands. The drag queens will find a way to rip you off particularly if they suspect that you are not European. Unfortunately for this bar we are European and we know exactly when we are being ripped off and it's shameful to rip off a queer person of any nationality. Do better or shut up shop.

Really good vibes and great cocktails!

No entry fee, toilets got no fee either. Quick and friendly bartenders. Good atmosphere.

After a concert at Tolhustuin I wanted to have a drink with my girlfriend before going back to our hotel. So we decided to visit the gay twin of our "Schaafenstraße" in Cologne. It was monday so there was no great choice but we chose the right bar. It was a wonderful evening with plenty of drinks and the choice of music invited to dance a lot! We will come back :-)

An Unfortunate Reality at "Taboo" - the name itself now an unfortunate jest. This establishment served us not with cocktails, but with a disheartening dose of xenophobia. Their refusal to accept payments from 'certain countries' exemplified an ignorance that’s truly the biggest 'taboo' of them all. For any true globetrotter, this is one place to sidestep in Amsterdam’s otherwise welcoming landscape.

It used to be one of my favorite places, but now it's infested with hetero creeps trying to hook up with any woman that tries to escape them from the straight clubs. Two guys were heavily harassing a woman that kept pushing them away until we intervened. And all that happened right in front of the bar, the staff behind it did nothing. A guy tried to grab my friends tongue, I wish I was joking. Security clearly has no idea what they're doing letting those people in and allowing them to prey upon others. As a lesbian I enjoyed Taboo, the community it hosted and the refuge from unwanted attention. Shame, I won't be going there again

Friendly staff and great community vibe. Happy hour prices are very good value. Music’s great. Beware of the stairs! I smacked my head more than once heading to/from the loo. It’s not designed well for tall people, but does me get to drink to numb the pain!

Lovely place! The vibe at this place is amazing! One of the best bars in town!

Good drinks, not too cheap in pourings, great atmosphere, nice staff. Even in winter you can sit cosily outside if you want, there are heaters and blankets. Inside is great as well. There are little events often. Worth the visit, go and see what they have in store that night!

One of the best gay bars in Amsterdam

Such a cute bar!! I love the decor and the manager is a hottie who is super personal and sweet. 10/10 recommend coming here. Also welcoming to non cis men gays hehe. - Xoxo ur non-binary qt

Liked it! Liked the drag queens in it Liked the mini event At some point there was a guy harassing a girl, and then he went to the bartender - but she handled it pretty quickly and efficient and he got kicked out fast, without allowing him to come back. Prices are normal to Amsterdam, nothing too high I feel. A pretty small bar but good You can also sit outside but inside is where the fun is

we were there during a devworld event & only had beers. The staff was very welcoming & nice; The music was the best on the whole street - loved their dj

Best gay bar in town, wonderful staff, friendly attitude and crowd!

Manager is awesome. Makes you welcome. Best place to go in Amsterdam everyday of the week.

Such a beautiful bar. There was a bartender named Nate and they were very nice ❤️ I had a blast there. Recommended 100%. If you reading this Nate, you were amazing and keep shining.

Everything about the bar was awesome apart of the fact that no want would tell you where to get some Party sTuff to slam or smoke. I met a guy at the toilet shooting so he advise me to go to Bitchemic dot com if I needed some good quality Ice

Welcoming friendly staff and prices are very good for a night of drinking! The music is on fleek!!!!

Used to come here very often, very fun, but after Corona it's not that busy. The service got a lot better though, David ( I think that's his name.). brought us drinks and entertained us. He was really amazing, will def come back. Love taboo 🥰🥰

One of the best place to go. Nice music, nice ambient and Effie is the best one. Effie knows how to get the party started and if you have some problem Effieis there for u

LOVE IT!!! Been to Amsterdam multiple times and never had this much fun. Drag queens are funny and entertaining, staff is lovely, drinks well priced and overall had a great experience!

Great to chill/relax here. Servers are really friendly! But the wines are not the best ones! My husband didn't like it.

Emma is amazing - she was so friendly and made us feel at home

Foot and service where amazing TJ took amazing care of us we will return on our next trip to Amsterdam 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Best gay bar with sunny terrace in town!!

Good place for a drink with your friends.

Very cool club, great music, excellent service, friendly staff, celebrated my birthday here, ready to come back again and again. Great place. Recommended ❤️💯❤️
