My partner and I both had a great time here. We got a couple tasty drinks and listened to karaoke. The bar tenders were really nice and everyone was having fun. We stopped there before heading to a sex show in the red light district — definitely made us feel more comfortable, as we were a little nervous going to a heteronormative show as a lesbian couple. Highly recommend going before!

Frequent haunt. Very friendly staff and excellent selection of drinks. Always a great time here for Pride parties, drag race watch parties, cutting up with friends for a laugh. Also the vibe is diverse, welcoming and a pleasure to come back to.

Unpleasant behavior and poor customer experience with a bartender.When I asked for a shot, he said, “If it’s not on the menu, don’t ask for it,” in a very impolite and dismissive manner. When he later attempted to apologize for his unprofessional behavior, he ended up being rude again towards my friend, who was trying to address what had happened.In conclusion, it’s very disappointing that someone with no sense of customer service is working at a bar. Perhaps they should consider a job that doesn’t involve interacting with people.

Nice LGBTQ Friendly bar. It has an outdoor Patio and nice crowd. We went here twice during our stay in Amsterdam.

I find this place very expensive. I got one cider beer what they did is grabbed a small glass filled it up with ice and pored only 1/3 of the bottle in it. I don't get a lot of value from their drinks.Besides this and it is a general issue with bars is that it is impossible to hear each other inside. What really just not a enjoyable experience

Cute gay bar with tasty cocktails. I visited with my husband after a day of sightseeing. We stopped by around 17:00 and it was busy. The cocktails were good and the service was pretty good given how busy it was. Cute, twinky bartenders.

Ive been going to Prik for a while now . I’m a fan of there snack chicken fingers . Staff are great always upbeat and generally friendly . They always have music on and support local LGBTQA community events as a LGBTQA community bar. Music ranges from synth pop 80s to R&B staff have their own playlists .

As a Black American visiting Amsterdam solo for the first time, I felt welcomed here. The owner or bar manager was super open and friendly in having a conversation with me and making me feel relaxed. Although I tend to prefer a younger crowd, I was really happy returning to this bar since it was literally down the street from my Marriott hotel. I like how friendly everyone is. That’s the impression I will take with me everywhere I travel in the world and I really thank the entire team for just treating men of color like human beings. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!! ❤️ The drinks were very very good and strong !!

This place is sooo nice! Amazing variety of coctails and snacks, great atmosphere and wonderful bartenders. Always great to come back here. Also, definitely the best spot in town to watch eurovision.

PRIK it's a nice place to have a drink with friends or a date, and feel free to be yourself. The best gay bar in town? I'm not sure. But certainly better than others you find around Reguliers.

Used to be my favourite cocktail bar in Amsterdam, I’ve been going there for years and recommending it to everyone too. Not sure what’s happened but seems to have gone downhill the last year. Slow service, drinks not well made, even rude staff. I had taken a friend there who was visiting from France & told her what a great cocktail bar it was. At the end I had to apologise to her for the bad treatment. Never had that before 🙁 last week the service was extremely slow and the previous customers glasses were not cleared from tables. When I asked to pay, the staff member added 10% gratuity on to the payment machine, without asking or telling me. I really hope it improves….

A bear and a twunk walk into bar... and had a great time. Bar staff were super friendly and the atmosphere was great.Gay bars usually have a crowd, often very cliquey but this place was the opposite had a good mix of people.Can't wait to go back.

A fun gay bar outside of the gay neighborhood. It’s festive, bright and pink on the inside and offers delicious and STRONG drinks. I had the espresso martini and I got a nice buzz from that. The staff are friendly. A great place to stop by after walking around.

We stayed a weekend in Amsterdam and nearly came back every day to this great gay bar for cocktails and dancing and starting or ending the night. The staff were just wonderful, the vibe amazing. Very relaxed and uplifting. I recommend going!!

I met friends here at Prik around 15:00 in the afternoon. It was slightly chilly outside on this June Sunday afternoon in Amsterdam. The outdoor area was mostly empty - but this didn't last long. Apparently after 3 pm is the time everyone is heading out to this venue.Friendly service, vast menu with lots of drinks. I imagine that after 9 PM and on weekends this place can be very busy. I wish I went inside but never made it past the front door. I do recommend.
