Bar Buka, a gaybar or queerbar in the vibrant area the Pijp, Amsterdam South.
Although our place is known as a lesbian bar, everybody is welcome!
Every month we have an agenda full of activities, from casual meet ups to pub quizzes, open mic events, speed date afternoons, karaoke evenings and DJ parties.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date with our latest queer events.
A great way to start your evening. At Bar Buka we want to bring women together. We hope to offer a safe queer place where you can be yourself, surrounded by like-minded people. We do not only want to attract guests from Amsterdam, but also from other parts of the Netherlands and the world. Being who you are is good enough. No fancy dress code or strict door policy. Good vibes only.

Although we focus on the female crowd, our bar is open to everyone, so men are more than welcome as well.
Whether you come alone or in a group, we will give you a warm welcome! We serve Heineken beer and other high quality brands. You can order fingerfood and you are also allowed to bring your own food.
We sometimes broadcast sports games, especially football. You can sit at the bar or at a table and we have a box with boardgames. During the weekend we sometimes remove tables so people can dance. We are not a club nor a restaurant, but a bar in a residential area, so we have to consider maximum volume limits.
It is possible to celebrate something (e.g. birthday/graduation/casual drinks/bachelorette party) at Bar Buka. Unfortunately our bar can´t be rented exclusively during the weekends, we can however create an area for you.
Party on the days we are closed? Contact us via connect@barbuka.nl for the possibilities on Monday or Tuesday.
Every third Saturday of the month we host karaoke nights.
For karaoke events on other days, please contact us to discuss the possibilities. Our bar is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but we are willing to open for private groups/companies.
We accept Maestro, Visa, Creditcard, American Express and cash.
