Javierdude22: Kinkguy, the leather district? Lol...well..maybe if I were on heroin. I have been to the Exit in Amsterdam twice. And yes, uninvitedly I got groped in the crotch, and touched when I was minding my own business. That is why my stomache couldn't handle it. Btw, I wasn't referring to you when I said Quasimodo, I meant in general.
DMW, what city park is that? I didn't know they had such a park.
Waawoowah to give you some tangible advice:
DMW is right that the straight scene is harder to locate, literally. It's because it´s not so much in the centre, more around it. The city centre basically has a lot of straight bars, and in certain streets, a lot of gay bars and clubs.
The best straight clubs in A'dam at the moment: Powerzone and the Escape (this one is in the centre). If you like the preppy college scene more hit the Odeon or Dansen by Jansen (especially thursday nights). Alternative scene can be found in Paradiso or the Melkweg (both also used for small concerts).
Bars to smoke pot (Im going out on a limb here and assume you want to know
) are everywhere but concentrate around the Leidseplein (square). From there, hit any of the sidestreets to find a good bar.
For me personally, I hit the Terra a lot on the Rokin. Well, I used to at least. It's an Irish Pub, with English speaking staff, HUGE selection of English and Irish beers, and a living room kinda interior, with fire place and armchairs and all. Great people.
Hm...so much for the tourist information
