Part of the Gay Amsterdam Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
LGBTQ+ gifts, novelties, and Amsterdam scene guides on Spuistraat.
Gays & Gadgets on Spuistraat is part gift shop, part queer general store, a short walk from Central Station. The stock leans cheerfully irreverent, with kitschy keychains, rude candy, erotic coffee-table books, design ceramics, pride merchandise, body-conscious clothing, and adult toys, but it doubles as a practical stop for visitors, carrying city maps, magazines, flyers, and tickets to local parties. Downstairs is Underground Fetish, the shop's dedicated leather-and-rubber basement. It's not a scene venue, just a well-run and genuinely useful shop for getting your bearings on Amsterdam's gay map, easy to fold into a walk through the Centrum on the way to the Spuistraat and Reguliersdwarsstraat bars.
