Taboo Bar

Informazioni su questo posto Taboo Bar

Taboo occupies a narrow space on Reguliersdwarsstraat that manages to feel more intimate and slightly darker in character than the mainstream bars on either side of it. The music is louder, the lighting dimmer, and the overall atmosphere a shade more underground than the typical Reguliersdwarsstraat venue. It attracts a mix of locals and visitors who prefer their gay bars with a bit of edge rather than the broad-smile international welcome of some neighbours. Like most bars on the strip, it operates as a bar rather than a club — there is no dance floor to speak of, but the music and energy can make it feel like one by midnight on a weekend. Taboo is particularly popular with the younger end of Amsterdam's gay demographic who want something slightly less polished than the main-street options. It serves as a good transition point between the mainstream Reguliersdwarsstraat scene and the darker leather bars of the Warmoesstraat a few streets to the north.
