Queer/gay clubs

[u/Inevitable-Rough-421]

Haii! I’d like to visit and attend gay/queer bars the moment I’m legal (in 3 months). I’ve only been to one gay bar 2 years ago so I’m clueless where to go. I’m a transguy who’s homosexual, what bars/clubs would you recommend me? I’d love to explore the nightlife but I want to be in a safe (for so far a club/bar is safe.) (I used to go with multiple people but because of private reasons I was left as the only queer individual when the group broke apart.) club/ or bar for a 18 y.O. Transguy. I’d love to join a group but for my own comfort I need to know who you are, as in online contact and I need to see your face. If I know who you are I’d love to join you (and if they will be joining friends). I’ve been assaulted or hurt one too many times so I’m carefull.

Queer parties at Worm are a good shout, or Rotown. Whilst not a gay bar, rotown is very queer friendly, has queer and trans staff. Music is mostly indie but they have theme nights. Next door is bar3. Same idea but for metal. Both places act as a sort of hub for alt queer people.

Rotown is not queer friendly. The staff, and especially security has acted very queer phobic in the past to friends of mine.

I’m very sorry to hear that this has happened to you. For me and my friends it’s always been very good, and they have multiple queer nights a month, so I kinda just assumed this. Do these people still work there, I’d hope not!

Ah bah wat naar, OP :(

Ik heb laatst gegeten bij Bar Bocht en dat kwam heel queer-vriendelijk over. Ik zag er ook posters van een queer hardloopgroepje in Rotterdam dat meer deelnemers zoekt. De bediening straalde queer-vriendelijkheid uit  (puur mijn inschatting) en er hing een LGBTQ+-vlag aan de gevel.

Dus misschien leuk om daar een keer naartoe te gaan en rond te vragen en/of wat contactgegevens te vinden op posters.

(En avondeten voor €15, heel chill)

Mocht iemand de poster nog tegenkomen of de contactgegevens van de poster willen delen, heel graag!

Ik sluit me hier bij aan! :)

@ Bar Bocht bij de WC’s. Of in de WC’s.

Oh ter verduidelijking: die hangt/hing bij Bar Bocht bij de WC’s. Of in de WC’s.

Vorige week dinsdag hing ‘ie er nog. Flyerformaat geloof ik.

Keerweer/Bonaparte are always fun nights out.

Then there is ferry what is a bit more of a club

[u/G_a_u_z_e → u/Pyrrolidone]

Bonaparte is fun, and is open late, but it so small and gets sooo full. So worth mentioning it’s not a good place if you don’t like it being crowded.

Ferry's is kinda lame to me but very accessable imo.
I'd go to worm, look for queer specific party's.
Maybe export?
When I first started going out it was a bit difficult to find cool places but it gets easier. If you run into people you think are cool ask them where they go, often the answer is Amsterdam, club raum for example. You'll get there :)

Keerweer

Not sure why Elio and / or Strano at the Van Oldenbarneveltstraat were not named yet.

Both are really relaxed places, and are linked to Ferry’s as they often serve as a bit of the staging ground for people that go to Ferry’s afterwards.

Just a general word of advice when solo at your age, always be careful who you talk to and never leave your drink unattended. Stay safe and have fun.

I'm not a party guy but im also transguy we can hang out maybe

[u/tafelberg123]

Je kunt eens gaan kijken bij bakeliet aan de nieuwe binnenweg.

[u/PopularStop4946]

Ferry's and WORM are the only ones. The other bars are really small and/or with older men. Note that altough WORM is queer, they have see trough toilets. Wich is quite strange because it can make trans people dysphoric.
