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!

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.
