Hospital Bar in Amsterdam Red Light District

The Unique Concept & Atmosphere

Hospital Bar Amsterdam isn’t a regular bar—it embraces an erotic hospital theme right in the Red Light District. According to its website, visitors can “sit back and relax on one of our hospital beds” while “sexy nurses” serve drinks and perform pole dances. It even offers lap dances, jokingly “prescribed” by a “doctor”.

This cheeky theme creates a playful, adult-only vibe. The mix of risqué performance and hospital props keeps the experience light, wild, and memorable. From the moment you arrive, you know this is not your typical night out—it’s all about fun, fantasy, and a little edge.

Why the concept stands out:

• Adults-only with an erotic, hospital-themed twist

• Dancers dressed as “nurses” performing pole and lap dances

• Unique and playful atmosphere in the Red Light District
