This place was TINY - there was about 15 people inside and it still felt crowded. Cocktails are €10 which seems to be a... standard price around here but there weren't any seats available anywhere so we just headed back out. Go to the jazz bar instead - or anywhere else.read more

(Food rated 5 stars, but drinks only!)The Lellebel was one of my goals in Amsterdam, especially since I wrote the... German Wikipedia article about it.As a trans* person, it was also an honor for me to be a guest there. Everyone was very friendly and you felt like you were in good hands. 4 beers on tap! And a professional bar.But the interior was poor. A plain “hose bar” like thousands of others. So you don't have to come to Amsterdam for that.Plus noisy standup comedy and also in English, but I hope that it will also be available in the local language.Despite the friendly atmosphere, the visit was rather a disappointment.I read that there used to be a warmer environment (plush). I would have really liked to see that.(Eten met 5 stars, he always had drinks!)The Lellebel was one of my best appointments in Amsterdam, especially in the German Wikipedia article about Schreef.As a trans* person, he was also one of the guests. Each and every thing that comes out of the good world is raised in good hands. 4 beers on tap! A professional bar.The interior was bad. An on-screen "tube pub" like dozens of others. You will never come to Amsterdam.Plus luidruchtige stand-up comedy in the Engels, hoewel ik hoop dat het ooit in the local taal beschikbaar zal zijn.Thanks to the world you can see that there is also a teleurstelling.I read it before a warmer omgeving something (pluche). I noticed that.read more

Wow!! I had such an amazing time here!! I had spotted Lellebel before as a Queer Space and always wanted to go there... one time. They had a comedy tryout night so I decided to finally buy tickets (free!) to go check it out. And I was not disappointed at all!!There was just a small audience, but I had so much fun and such good laughs! The atmosphere was very intimate, cozy and interactive. The staff is super, super sweet, and me being transgender they made me feel very welcome and at ease because I was alone that night.But so did the other guests. they were so lovely too, open to a chat, very friendly. And making these pictures, one of them where I got photo bombed by Greg of Boom Chicago fame yay!Keep up the amazing work Tori! 💖 I am following on Facebook to keep an eye out for more fun events, and will definitely be coming back here! 🏳️‍⚧️read more

I've been to Lellebel a few times now, and each visit I have a fantastic and unique experience there. The staff are... friendly and attentive, the patrons are a diverse group and always make for interesting conversation, and the drinks are well-priced for a bar in the centre of Amsterdam. Lellebel is truly a safe environment to let your hair down and have some fun.read more

After changing ownership, Lellebel lost all its identity, all its charm and all its history! It was a place that had... such a welcoming decor that with its warm colors and a mix of patterns made it such a comfortable and different space, now it's horrible, I hate it!Hans comes back, we want you back again!read more

Came for the show, supposedly starting at 22:00. At 23:00 it still hadn't started, we were told that it would start... when the bar would get crowded. However people were starting to leave at this point.When it finally started, there was two songs performed by someone who looked like they did not want to be there, and then said they would come back later, by which point it was getting late so after 20 more minutes of waiting we left.So clearly not what was advertised on the website, didn't feel like a real show.read more

Absolutely wonderful night! Went on Sunday during the karaoke.I'd tried different places around Amsterdam and was... quite disappointed, since the vibe was usually closed, unwelcoming groups, and nobody seemed approachable or approached me except for drunken flirting.I went in and was cautious. My first impression was like everyone was a regular and knew each other since like for ever! I later learned that wasn't the case. A lot of them had gone in there for the first time and alone, just like me.I watched some people singing as the staff, very politely, kicked a guy out because he was getting a bit out there. Besides that, there were no more incidents.It was nonstop fun! I was super welcomed from the first second. Everybody felt great on stage cos everything was encouragement and clapping. No bad vibes at all.I'm highly social but very picky when it comes to places, because I'm actually quite the introvert, so I never fit in, but here it was amazing. In fact I made lots of friends for the night; we sung duos on stage, and everyone danced and later everyone just sung along every tune.It was formidable. I'm quite the traveler and I can confirm this place is something else.Hours went by and I was surprised when Tori announced it was 2am?!? What?!?Wonderful, seriously. ♥️Thanks to everyone that night for being so lovely, cute and gorgeous♥️♥️read more

I can not believe my recent experience. I came in ready to have a great night and instead felt very unwelcome. I asked... for a recommendation from the bartender and their response was “for you to leave.” Very rude and extremely disrespectful. We planned to have several drinks here and instead left. Sad that we didn’t have the same upbeat bubbly experience so many have.read more

Really enjoyed this bar. Ended up in there three times over the course of a five night break. The cocktails are very... good and they pour from the bottle which is always a good thing. I recommend the AJ Bubble Hummer. The show was very good also. The bar is small but once you get in it is fine and it means people are inclined to talk to each other. I would definitely recommend this bar and will call in if I’m ever back in Amsterdam.read more

This place is TINY!! I mean so tiny you have to walk across the drag queen stage to get to the pay toilet. Not a fan of... that really. But it’s Europe so... the queens were fun. Drag-bartender was super sweet and fast. I’d give this place 5 stars if it just had more room to mingle and see the show. Local drag host Geneva was actually singing and was awesome. Good gay hangout.read more

Small, crowded, they try to put up a good show with enthusiastic and really well dressed drag queens. However... The... beer is quite steeply priced and it's hard to make out anything with the music cranked up high. Also, as Lellebel is fairly small - a "pijpelaantje" as the Dutch would say - it can be hard to see the shows put up by the queens, or to understand or pass each other. There are great other bars, in or outside of the gay-scene, in town if Lellebel gets overcrowded. And on Friday or Saturdaynight, it might be.read more
