Dirty Dicks

O tym miejscu Dirty Dicks

Dirty Dicks is one of the anchor venues of the Warmoesstraat leather scene — a dark bar with a direct attitude, a darkroom, and no interest in softening its identity for mainstream visitors. The name is not subtle, and neither is the bar: this is an adult cruise bar for gay men who know what they are looking for. The Warmoesstraat location places it in the heart of Amsterdam's leather quarter, alongside Argos and a cluster of leather shops that make this stretch one of the most concentrated fetish areas in Europe. Dirty Dicks is at its busiest on weekend nights and during Leather Pride week in October, when the entire Warmoesstraat becomes the centre of the Amsterdam fetish scene. For visitors who find the Reguliersdwarsstraat mainstream scene too polished, the Warmoesstraat bars represent the older, harder-edged Amsterdam gay tradition — the city's historical tolerance for all forms of sexual expression operating without apology.
