Café ‘t Mandje is the longest existing ‘gay café’ in the Netherlands. Started in 1927 by Bet van Beeren, herself a lesbian and she came out for it even then. This has made the café an important symbol in gay history. The small café is featured in the Canon of Amsterdam as a symbol of tolerance through the ages. And a replica can be admired in the Amsterdam Museum. Everyone is still welcome in our atmospheric café, we are a safe haven for the LGBTQI + community and allies.
