ABOUT
BAR - CREATIVE HUB - SAFER SPACE
In the summer of 2021 Bar Bario opened it's doors for the first time. Our intention was simple: To be the living room for marginalized communities. A regular bar for those who wouldn't feel safe and comfortable in the rest of Amsterdam.
Good drinks, good energy, good company.
From there, we grew into way more than just a bar: Our gallery space has hosted over 70 exhibitions and 300 events, for us, by us. From pole dancing classes to art therapy - Bar Bario has something happening for everyone.
Come see for yourself, everyone's welcome for a drink, a chat, and a peek at our exhibitions.
HOUSE RULES
Bar Bario is an intersectional safer space: we’re an intentional space where we want to ensure the safer fun of everyone.
Bar Bario is for everyone, but especially for those who need a safer space most! Everything we do is with love, and with priority for the Queer, Trans & BPOC communities.
Please be mindful of who you bring to Bar Bario and your/ their privilege: you might be taking up space from those who need it most. We want to make sure that those who can’t get safer fun easily elsewhere, have enough space to enjoy their time here.
We do not tolerate:
-
Transphobia
-
Queerphobia
-
Xenophobia
-
Islamophobia
-
Homophobia
-
Fatphobia
-
Ableism
-
Racism
-
Hatred, (sexual) intimidation or discrimination of any kind
Respect each other’s space and ALWAYS ask for consent. No means no, silence does NOT mean yes.
Be kind to each other. Respect & Protect your non-binary, Trans & femme friends.
If you see something, please say something!
If there’s ever anything you want to ask or let us know, our email/ dms/ doors are always open. If anything makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please come to us.
We realise that a Safer Space is a continuous process and work and always want to learn and grow. We are open to any questions and remarks.
We love and want to hear from you, so that we can grow and learn from you. Together we can create a space for everyone!
With love,
Bar Bario
