What a gem of a find! 😍 We had the most amazing time at Lellebel Queer Bar! We originally planned to just attend the drag show with the fabulous AJ Heartstone, but we had such a great night that we went back again the next evening for karaoke. Tori, the owner, has created something truly special, a space that feels so welcoming, safe and somewhere you instantly want to return to. Genuinely one of the kindest and friendliest people you could meet 💖 Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable! 🤗 Sej & Nesh (the Indian girls! 😉)

Best bar in Amsterdam. Had a great time chatting with Tori and meeting some wonderful people. The drinks were flowing, and everyone was enjoying the excellent music and some seriously fun karaoke!! Can't wait to get back there. Roo & Kitty xx

Popped in on a whim and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in Amsterdam. I went on a less crowded night (Wednesday) and it was a nice rock music vibe. It feels like a familiar place to drink with a friend. The bar owner Tori was awesome and she’s super knowledgeable on the history of the bar/location, and makes amazing conversation. She mentioned they have karaoke nights as well! A place where kind people can enjoy a familiar feeling. I hope I can make it back to say hello again.

Had the best night of my life. I have so much dysphoria about my voice but at some point felt comfortable to sing along and later get on stage. The vibe is immaculate. And it is a safe space unlike any other safespaces. Had a guy cross a line and his hand was caught by tori before I even turned around. Everyone watches out for each other and makes this a safe space unlike any other. And again I can not stress this enough the vibes are incredible!!!

I was at Lellebel for Karaoke night. So much fun! And Vera at the bar was fantastic. NOTE: Happily, they use Karafun for karaoke.
