About The Queen's Head

Tucked away on the bustling Zeedijk street in Amsterdam, The Queen's Head, which first opened its doors in 1998, is much beloved for its eclectic mix of events, most famously its Drag Queen Bingo nights every Tuesday. These lively evenings combine humor, community, and the unique flair of drag performances to create an unforgettable experience for both locals and tourists alike. The interior of The Queen's Head is as charismatic as its events, featuring a classic Dutch "gay bar" aesthetic with red wallpaper, chandeliers, and plush curtains, evoking a 1950s glam kitsch vibe. The bar offers a cozy backroom with romantic views over the canal, perfect for more intimate conversations or simply enjoying the scene. Weekends at The Queen's Head are particularly buzzing, with live DJs spinning a mix of top hits and classic tracks that keep the atmosphere lively and welcoming. In addition to its regular events, the bar also hosts special occasions like the "Queens in Queen's" drag shows and biweekly gatherings for the bear community, ensuring that there's always something new to experience.

The Queen’s Head is just that a ton of ‘Queens’ in a pub. This is a fun way to enjoy the cross-generational experience of being Gay and celebrating it all together. It’s a great spot to have waiting for you at the end of the evening as the Queen is always extremely excited to see you!

Review from Google Maps

My fiancé and I were visiting Amsterdam in March and looking for a queer bar near our hotel. A local recommended The Queen’s Head, and honestly, from the moment we saw the door, we had a feeling we were about to have an amazing night. We were absolutely right. this was our first time in a queer bad and it was honestly such a good experience. The music was incredible, the atmosphere was warm and full of energy, and you could feel the amazing vibes the second you walked in.When the staff found out we had just gotten engaged on this trip, they were genuinely so happy for us and encouraged us to celebrate. It meant more than they probably realized. As tourists and as WLW, we were a little nervous about feeling out of place, but that couldn’t have been further from our experience. We felt completely welcomed, the staff treated us like we were regulars and long time friends, they were absolutely amazing. The DJ was fantastic, the drinks were great, and the overall vibe was cozy, fun, and unforgettable. If our flight hadn’t been leaving the next day, we absolutely would have come back again. We love this place it holds a very special place in our hearts and will continue recommending it to anyone visiting Amsterdam. We can’t wait to return.

Cosy gay bar with booths and chairs for singles by the bar. Apparently they have live shows, but when I was there they had a DJ. Friendly staff. Bit pricey pints.

That was very awesome. We visited this gay bar in Amsterdam city center and we wished we actually lived there! The staff was super friendly and the show that was hosted was perfect! We were on a bingo drag show. The best experience of our lives! We laughed so hard that it is gonna be memorable. Great prices, vast variety of drinks and very nice atmosphere in general.
