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! 😉)

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!!!

Me and my mate made it our mission to see this place on our trip to Amsterdam as it’s an alt queer bar which is right up our alley. However what we didn’t expect was 1. A really fun and well run karaoke night (our fave activity) 2. So many talented and funny people and 3. The most welcoming owners/workers/regulars of any bar I’ve been to in years. Apparently it was family night when we came and it truely felt like that. We felt right at home and everyone was up for a chat and a laugh and you could get involved in the karaoke or just sit at the bar to hang. I’ve honestly never loved the vibe of a place so much and it’s truely down to the people there. This was the highlight of our trip and I literally tell everyone about this place if I know they’re going to Amsterdam. There’s a lot to be said about going to a brand new city and feeling at home and we found that here. This place is something special and we are coming back in August for pride and this place is no.1 on our list to revisit.

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 🏳️‍🌈
