Het Parool maps out where queer women can go out in the city

Het Parool has put queer women back on the nightlife map. On 28 July 2026 the Amsterdam newspaper published a guide to the best places for queer women to go out in the city, a reminder that a good night out is not one-size-fits-all. The piece arrives at a useful moment. Amsterdam is known internationally for its LGBTQ+ nightlife, yet much of the conversation tends to centre on a handful of well-known venues. A guide written for queer women speaks to a part of the scene that often asks for more visibility, and it comes from a local title that follows the city closely. For readers, the appeal is practical. A recommendation from a local newsroom helps newcomers and long-time residents alike decide where to spend an evening, and it encourages people to look beyond the usual routes. We have not reproduced the venue list here, so the full guide is worth reading at the source for the specific names and details. What the guide underlines is simple: nightlife works best when different parts of the community have spaces where they feel welcome and seen. Amsterdam's queer scene is made up of many crowds, and each one deserves good information about where to go. That is the idea behind Vibra. The app is built to bring the LGBTQ+ nightlife community in Amsterdam together, from finding the right night to buying tickets in one place. Every visit can also earn Pulse points, so loyalty to the venues and events you love is recognised over time. If a guide like this sends you somewhere new, Vibra is there to help you get through the door and keep coming back. Source: Het Parool, 28 July 2026
