Amsterdam, Netherlands
Après-ski gay bar on Reguliersdwarsstraat, late-night until 4–5am
Exit Café is an après-ski-themed gay bar on Reguliersdwarsstraat, running since 1992 in the building that first housed the gay disco Exit in 1988. The ski-lodge decor is mostly a wink — the music runs to house and international pop, and the layout is built for a dense, standing-room crowd, with a sidewalk terrace that stays open year-round. It's the companion bar to the adjacent Club NYX, which grew out of the old Club Exit, and its real claim on the street is endurance: Exit is reliably one of the last places on Reguliers still going well after its neighbors have called it a night, which makes it the default late stop when the rest of the strip winds down. Better for an end-of-night crowd and people-watching from the terrace than for a quiet drink.

The rainbow flag has meant something specific since 1978 — one word per stripe, assigned by the man who dyed the first one. What every color means, why two stripes are gone, and all the other flags.

Drag is an art form, not an identity, and what people assume about it is off. Here's what a drag queen actually is, where drag came from, what the job pays, and how the illusion gets built.
