About
Since we opened the doors in the winter of 1997, Dragshowbar Lellebel has been one of the striking bars in the city of Amsterdam. The Lellebel offers live shows, theme nights and events 7 days a week the whole year round.
The focus of The Lellebel is towards the transvestite, transsexual, gay and lesbian community. In the summer of 1998, during the Gay Games the idea was launched to go online with the Lellebel to make it easier for people all over the world to find us and to be able to share information with them.

What a lovely warm friendly bar. Fun but yet relaxing atmosphere, I even felt comfortable enough to go up on the karaoke which I would never normally do, or have ever done before.Thank you again for a special memory of my few days in Amsterdam.Mathilde Jacquet

Every time I'm in Amsterdam I come to Lellebel's for a cold glass of wine and their amazing vibes. It's a hidden gem that I wish I lived closer to. The staff are wonderful - there is one bartender called Phoebe who makes it the most wonderful experience every time. Would definitely recommend!Kacee Jessica

The most fun, friendly-est bar in amsterdam. The staff are the most amazing human beings, the drinks are so reasonably priced and every time I come here I have SO MUCH FUN. Couldn’t recommend this place enough for some karaoke and good vibes 😎ELIZABETH Duckmanton

I've been to Lellebel a few times now, and each visit I have a fantastic and unique experience there. The staff are friendly and attentive, the patrons are a diverse group and always make for interesting conversation, and the drinks are well-priced for a bar in the centre of Amsterdam. Lellebel is truly a safe environment to let your hair down and have some fun.Brian Louis Ramirez

Stumbled upon this karaoke bar with a group of colleagues and had an absolutely unforgettable evening! The staff was just so friendly and shared their love of music, and they had good IPA on draft. I’ll definitely come back again! 💕José Carvalho

After changing ownership, Lellebel lost all its identity, all its charm and all its history! It was a place that had such a welcoming decor that with its warm colors and a mix of patterns made it such a comfortable and different space, now it's horrible, I hate it!Hans comes back, we want you back again!Chloé

Came for the show, supposedly starting at 22:00. At 23:00 it still hadn't started, we were told that it would start when the bar would get crowded. However people were starting to leave at this point.When it finally started, there was two songs performed by someone who looked like they did not want to be there, and then said they would come back later, by which point it was getting late so after 20 more minutes of waiting we left.So clearly not what was advertised on the website, didn't feel like a real show.TheOnlyMaggiePonce

Absolutely wonderful night! Went on Sunday during the karaoke.I'd tried different places around Amsterdam and was quite disappointed, since the vibe was usually closed, unwelcoming groups, and nobody seemed approachable or approached me except for drunken flirting.I went in and was cautious. My first impression was like everyone was a regular and knew each other since like for ever! I later learned that wasn't the case. A lot of them had gone in there for the first time and alone, just like me.I watched some people singing as the staff, very politely, kicked a guy out because he was getting a bit out there. Besides that, there were no more incidents.It was nonstop fun! I was super welcomed from the first second. Everybody felt great on stage cos everything was encouragement and clapping. No bad vibes at all.I'm highly social but very picky when it comes to places, because I'm actually quite the introvert, so I never fit in, but here it was amazing. In fact I made lots of friends for the night; we sung duos on stage, and everyone danced and later everyone just sung along every tune.It was formidable. I'm quite the traveler and I can confirm this place is something else.Hours went by and I was surprised when Tori announced it was 2am?!? What?!?Wonderful, seriously. ♥️Thanks to everyone that night for being so lovely, cute and gorgeous♥️♥️Martin Conroy-Edwards

We went on a Sunday which was Karaoke nights which was interesting..Super friendly staff (one who sang my absolute favourite Depeche Mode song)Drinks were a little pricey (2 single vodka and Fantas €20) but worth it for the atmosphereLouise M O'Higgins

I can not believe my recent experience. I came in ready to have a great night and instead felt very unwelcome. I asked for a recommendation from the bartender and their response was “for you to leave.” Very rude and extremely disrespectful. We planned to have several drinks here and instead left. Sad that we didn’t have the same upbeat bubbly experience so many have.Rachel McCrann

Really enjoyed this bar. Ended up in there three times over the course of a five night break. The cocktails are very good and they pour from the bottle which is always a good thing. I recommend the AJ Bubble Hummer. The show was very good also. The bar is small but once you get in it is fine and it means people are inclined to talk to each other. I would definitely recommend this bar and will call in if I’m ever back in Amsterdam.Mali Blunt (Mali)

I enjoyed myself. The venue was small but the energy wasn't. I order the Legendary B*tch drink with bubble gum simple syrup. It was delicious.Riley Haig

On Saturday I went was more occasional drag popup performances than a proper drag show. Nice vibe, friendly, strong simple drinks, quick service, and startlingly the cleanest bathroom I've ever seen in a queer bar.Vashika Harrisunker

Very small but cozy dragbar. The location is perfect and the beautiful and lovely bartender was attentive and helpfull. Also the guests seem to have a good time. When I was it was a tuesday and it was karaoke night. No! I don't sing but I had fun watching others.I have visited many dragbars around the world.

I absolutely love this bar, its my home, its the place where i can express myself, its a bar for everyone. I always see so many beautiful souls be themselves here, drinks price is amazing, the variety and changing of drinks is a cool aspect, their personnel is diverse and always in for a laugh. And toilets are always clean whats a pro and you don’t have to pay for them whats a plus.Cara Horsch

Yet too close to the Great Rubbish of the Amsterdam City Centre, an astonishing place for freedom. As small as paradisiacally important. Wonderful drag queens will show you how life can be beautiful, how power is arrogant. Love it.Myke Spezzano

Lellebel is great for trans people to show and improve their stage performance in front of a friendly environment composed of lgbt community but also cis people who enjoys being a friend of us and supports our rightful cause against social stigmas. Saturday night's are the most crowded while other days offer different tastes such as karaoke nights. Enjoy... 🌈 😉🎊🎤Leia Renée

This place is TINY!! I mean so tiny you have to walk across the drag queen stage to get to the pay toilet. Not a fan of that really. But it’s Europe so... the queens were fun. Drag-bartender was super sweet and fast. I’d give this place 5 stars if it just had more room to mingle and see the show. Local drag host Geneva was actually singing and was awesome. Good gay hangout.Linda Leestemaker

Small, crowded, they try to put up a good show with enthusiastic and really well dressed drag queens. However... The beer is quite steeply priced and it's hard to make out anything with the music cranked up high. Also, as Lellebel is fairly small - a "pijpelaantje" as the Dutch would say - it can be hard to see the shows put up by the queens, or to understand or pass each other. There are great other bars, in or outside of the gay-scene, in town if Lellebel gets overcrowded. And on Friday or Saturdaynight, it might be.Tania B.

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...Saurabh G.

5 stars for being one of the most fun (and hidden) spots in one of the most tourist-torn parts of the city. Every time is a great time, what with a good...
