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! 😉)

We had the most fantastic night in Lellebel Queer bar in March 2026 for my hen do. Tori was a sweetheart host and made us all feel so welcome, she also helped us navigate the effects of the space cakes we had eaten earlier in the evening. AJ heartstone was an absolutely fabulous drag act and drag bingo was the best part of our whole weekend. We can’t wait to come back to the best bar in Amsterdam. We love Lellebel and everything is stands for 🏳️‍🌈

An absolute hidden gem in Amsterdam. We had so much fun and felt so welcomed by Tori (the owner) and the regulars. I sang karaoke for the first in my life, I felt that comfortable! A small bar but so friendly and so much fun!

Amsterdam’s hidden queer gem! I went here for a friends birthday party. We danced and sang karaoke all night. Such an amazing, safe vibe. The owner is the sweetest and you can tell she puts so much care into the bar. I will definitely be back soon! 🩷🌟

We went to Lellebel first on Saturday night just past and honestly going here was the absolute highlight of our weekend! We’d been tipped off that it was a fab bar where everyone was made to feel welcome, and it did not disappoint 🩷 we had such a good time on Saturday that we came back for Sunday karaoke which was also just the best Sunday decision anyone in the LGBT+ community can make in Amsterdam. Tori is such an amazing owner and just a lovely soul - whether you were a regular at the bar (of which there are many because it’s a great place to be!) or first time outsiders like us, she treated everyone with joy and kindness, and it made the night so much fun. The cocktails were also delicious and Sania D Cruise on the Saturday stage was a stunner! The result was a fantastic group of people on both night, all ready to have fun, dance, sing and let loose in a little safe corner for the community. All the love from London, and we will tell our collective group of girls, gays, theys and strays to make sure to go to Lellebel when they next go to Amsterdam! - Issie and Tyla

For the craziest night out! This hidden little gem of a drag café is the only transvestite bar in town. Trannies behind the bar, but all sorts and sizes in...
