The Experience
Amsterdam's Premier Male Show
Coqtales stands as Amsterdam's first male entertainment show specifically designed to celebrate women. Located at Rigakade 10, the venue moves away from traditional nightlife tropes to offer a polished, theatrical performance inspired by the Magic Mike film franchise. The cast consists of professional dancers who also serve as waiters, ensuring the entertainment begins the moment guests arrive.
The evening is divided into two distinct phases: a seated dinner followed by the main stage production. This format makes it a popular choice for bachelorette parties (hen dos) and birthday celebrations. The atmosphere is high-energy and interactive, focusing on professional choreography and seductive entertainment within a safe, upscale club environment.
Concept
A New Era of Entertainment
Coqtales was established to fill a gap in the Amsterdam nightlife market, providing a dedicated space for male striptease and dance that prioritizes a female-friendly atmosphere. While Amsterdam has long been famous for its Red Light District, Coqtales offers a different style of adult entertainment that emphasizes stage production and group interaction.
The venue has quickly become a staple for international visitors looking for organized group activities. By combining dining with a choreographed show, it has modernized the concept of the male strip club, turning it into a full-evening event that rivals major productions in cities like Las Vegas or London.
