Amsterdam, Netherlands
Gay cocktail bar since 2006 with prosecco on tap and Sunday karaoke
Open since 2006, PRIK is a gay cocktail bar on Spuistraat in the Centrum, a short walk from Dam Square and the Royal Palace. The name is Dutch for “bubbles,” a nod to the prosecco on tap — including a pink version — and the small room is saturated in pink to match. In warmer months a street terrace pulls in afternoon drinkers. Weekday evenings stay low-key and conversational; weekends bring DJs spinning vocal house, pop and disco with no cover, and the compact space fills fast. Sunday karaoke is an institution, with free shots for the first ten singers. During Amsterdam Pride week PRIK throws its own street festival, with stages, drag and food trucks spilling out across Spuistraat. It's a reliable first stop on this side of the Centrum — close to the major sights, easy to fall into for one drink, and just as easy to stay in all night.
