Blend XL

Blend XL is the bigger, clubbier sibling of Bar Blend, opened in 2021 a few doors down on Reguliersdwarsstraat and quickly established as one of the newest stars of Amsterdam's gay scene. Spacious, stylish and a little more glamorous than its smaller counterpart, it's built around a proper dance floor and weekly sexy, fun entertainment, with drag queens and DJs keeping a "glittery yet sober, groovy yet glamorous" atmosphere going for a gay-oriented but genuinely all-welcome crowd. There's a nice terrace with a great street view for people-watching before the party gets going inside. With Bar Blend just steps away, it makes for an easy, seamless night out: start cozy, finish clubby.
