Upon arriving at the Moulin Rouge in Amsterdam’s Red Light District, we were immediately struck by the vibrant energy and neon lights that set the stage for an unforgettable night. The anticipation built as we approached the entrance, and we couldn’t wait to see what awaited inside.
It’s located in the heart of Amsterdam Red Light District, which is home to many other erotic venues, including sex shops, strip clubs and sex workers.
According to Wikipedia, Moulin Rouge means Red Windmill in French and it’s a symbol of the bohemian life. The early years of the Moulin Rouge were characterized by extravagant shows, inspired by the circus. The first real Moulin Rouge stands in Paris and is a bit different than this one. The acts in Moulin Rouge Amsterdam aren’t really inspired by the circus but more on erotic entertainment.
One of our tour guides Jasper decided to go to Moulin Rouge and reviewed the sex shows here. Actually two female customers asked him if he wanted to go with them to the Moulin Rouge after the Red Light District tour. Without a doubt he said yes because he had never seen it before. So there they went, all curious and excited…
The show kicked off with an electrifying female striptease that set the tone for the evening. Each act was unique, from the creative writing shows to the surprise acts that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. The live couple performances were particularly captivating, blending passion and artistry in a way we hadn’t experienced before. The intimate setting made me feel like we was part of the show, adding to the excitement.
Atmosphere and Ambiance
The atmosphere inside the theatre was both classy and provocative. The red velvet seats and dim lighting created a perfect backdrop for the erotic performances. The staff were friendly and ensured everyone felt comfortable and engaged.
They bought Moulin Rouge tickets, went inside and got a drink. The seats inside Moulin Rouge Amsterdam are located quite close to the stage. Which we find pretty cool because the crowd becomes really involved in what’s happening on stage.
There are also standing and sitting areas around the bar. During our visit we found that these seats also have a good view of the sex shows of Moulin Rouge. This was also apparent from a reaction from a visitor who was standing all the way at the back of the room. When we tested Moulin Rouge, this guy in the back was enthusiastically shouting “Whoohoo” when the female stripper did her took of her lingerie.
We don’t want to tell too much about the erotic shows inside Moulin Rouge Amsterdam because it will ruin the surprise they have. However we do want to explain what a so called writing show is all about. Here’s our review:
During our visit, a volunteer was needed during the show. So the female sex worker on stage picked our tour guide who was sitting front row. So he went on stage not knowing what to expect. The artiste asked him to lie down on stage and to take off his shirt, so he did. The lady undressed, grabbed a marker pen, stook it into her vagina and started to write on our tour guide. The result? Here it is:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice place to have fun. Friendly welcome and bar staff. 5 different shows, including beautiful pole dance acts. When you sit at the stage you get to see all the details. I’ve seen them all twice 😉 and also went on stage twice. Also left with “Moulin Rouge” on my stomach and the lady who wrote this didn’t have the marker in her hand ;-). Really worth going again.

So, summarised:
The Moulin Rouge in France; probable the most famous dancing cabaret hall of all time. First opened its doors on 6 October 1889 and many legends have trod those boards. We’re going to tell you about one of the most famous or infamous. This legend also known as La Goulue which means ‘the glutton’. La Goulue was born around 1866 to an impoverished Jewish family. Not much had known at all about her early childhood but by the time she was a teenager she was earning money dancing in clubs around Paris. And she got the name of the glutton by stealing drinks from the patrons in the clubs. She was loud, she was brash, she was cheeky and she really didn’t give a stuff what anyone else thought. The can can as a dance haven’t been around very long at all. Before La Goulue got hold of it and make it her own. She could kick her legs higher than anyone else. She often didn’t wear underwear. She would kick off the hats of patrons and then twirl them around on her foot. And it wasn’t long before the Moulin Rouge came knocking. La Goulue was an overnight sensation at the Moulin Rouge. She even attracted the attention of very famous artist who immortalised her. Toulouse-Lautrec painted her in an advertisement for the Moulin Rouge here and she had a string of very, very wealthy lovers. The wealthiest of whom was none other than The Prince of Wales and future King Edward the 7th of Britain. Otherwise known as Dirty Bertie. The story goes that the first time Dirty Bertie ever saw La Goulue he was being walked through Moulin Rouge and she saw him and yelled out across the club: “Hey Wales! Are you buying the champagne?” Everyone was stunned that the future king would be spoken to like this by a can can girl. But Dirty Bertie couldn’t get enough of her. At the height of her career La Goulue decided that she could make more money if she branched out on her own. And she left Moulin Rouge. She invested all her money that she’d made in her own act. But it wasn’t a success. People just didn’t like her outside the Moulin Rouge. She’d also developed a pretty severe alcohol problem by this time. And any money that she had left over was pretty soon spent. Destitute and sick with alcoholism La Goulue spent her final few years scraping together a living selling cigarets and matches on the pavements outside the Moulin Rouge, were she once danced. She pretty much disappears more public life apart from a few photographs of her here and there. She was only 62 and living in poverty when she died. She was originally buried in a very poor district of Paris but a few years after that funds were raised to finally move her to a more fitting location. And this is her final resting place in a cemetery of Montmartre. You can still go on and see her grave today and leave flowers.
