Club Church is Amsterdam's central fetish and cruise club, on Kerkstraat just off the Leidsestraat — a purpose-built playground that runs a themed night nearly every day of the week. The weekly rhythm on its agenda: the Naked Bar on Wednesdays (20:00–01:00), Blue on Thursdays (22:00–04:00), Zonderbroek on Fridays (22:00–05:00), the Hoerenbal on Saturdays (22:00–04:30) rolling into a Super Late afterhours towards Sunday morning, and the S.O.S. session on Sunday afternoons (16:00–20:00). Each night has its own code — check the club's agenda before going.

The facilities are the point. Church has a big darkroom with a sling, five private cabins (two with slings — four slings in total, with extras added on fist evenings), a five-man glory-hole wall the club calls the slurp station, and free condoms and water-based lube stocked throughout the entire club. Practicalities are equally institutional: a free guarded coat check instead of lockers, two free showers with towel hire, four douche cabins with warm-water taps (disposable hoses sold at the coat check for around €3), and payment by cash, PIN or credit card.

Entry is priced per night on the club's agenda, and regulars can buy a ten-visit card, advertised at around €105 when this page was written — confirmed at the door. The club publishes clear house rules alongside a sexual-consent policy, a safe-sex and drugs policy and a transgender policy — worth reading before a first visit.

Getting there is easy: trams 2, 11 and 12 to Keizersgracht or 1, 5, 7 and 19 to Leidseplein, with night buses to Leidseplein after hours. Browse our Amsterdam guide for the city's other fetish and cruise venues.
