Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Montmartre has moved from Halvemaansteeg to Reguliersdwarsstraat 48 as Montmartre XL. Small groups walk in; eight or more may reserve. Sing-along weekends fill fastest, so arrive near 18:00 if a ground-floor base matters.
Best night
Wednesday/Thursday give the 18:00–01:00 sing-along bar; Friday–Sunday extend to 03:00 with Eurovisie, disco and 80s/90s classics. Choose it for communal Dutch-pop energy, not a techno or fetish night.
Locals vs visitors
Long-time gay-bar fans, Dutch sing-along regulars, younger LGBTQIA+ groups, birthdays and visitors mix around the revived name. It is open to respectful friends and intentionally intergenerational rather than men-only.
Dress code in practice
No strict code applies. Casual barwear is enough; glitter and Eurovision drama suit theme nights but are optional. The main floor is accessible, while the sing-along platform has two steps.
Staff inclusion
The operator publishes zero tolerance for racism, transphobia and harassment. Montmartre XL has ground-floor entry and toilet, with two steps to the sing-along platform; staff invite advance contact for assistance or a quiet pause.
