Dragshowbar Lellebel
Utrechtsestraat 4 1017VN Amsterdam
The founder of De Lellebel is Hans Wijtenburg, who had established a department of De Kringen in Eindhoven during the late 1970s and started performing drag performances as a member of the duo Josephine and Daphne. When a small Amsterdam café on the Utrechtsestraat became available, he turned it into a multicultural transgender bar decorated with a Baroque look with mirrors, paintings, ruffles and small chandeliers. Under the name De Lellebel, this small café was inaugurated on November 22, 1997 by the well-known Dutch drag queen Nickie Nicole.
