Church is one of the most well-respected cruise clubs in Amsterdam’s gay scene. Split over two floors, Church offers a great bar and dance floor as successfully as private rooms, showers and almost anything else a playful mind might desire. The club hosts regular theme nights, including Wednesday’s naked night when the only clothes permitted are shoes. Check their website to keep up to date with theme nights and entrance fees. Church can be set up quite close to Leidseplein, a short walk from the Amistad gay hotel.
