Bar Bario's Basics
Bar Bario is a safer space:This means we're an intentional space focused on providing a fun and safer environment for marginalized communities. These communities - we mainly focus on the BPOC, Trans & Queer community - have little to no spaces in Amsterdam where they can be themselves freely. Because of this, we ask all of our guests to please check their privilege at the door. We kindly ask for your sympathy and realization that you might be taking up space from these marginalized communities that need a safe haven, where they feel welcomed, accepted and safe, like Bar Bario, most. We hope you keep this in mind and thank you for your understanding!
The old Amsterdam building has no options for a ramp to the bathrooms downstairs. Because of this we are unfortunately inaccessible for people that use a wheelchair (and therefore not a safer space for every body). Our sincere apologies for this, we hope to be able to make a change in this in the future.
Opening hours
Wednesday & Thursday: 16:00-01:00
Friday & Saturday: 16:00-02:30
Sunday: 16:00-01:00
