Isidore from Amsterdam

Hi! My name is Isidore and I was born and raised in Amsterdam. I have always been a curious person so I decided to make it my job! I am a journalist for a Dutch broadcaster and I make shows about breaking stigmas and about topics that are important in today's society. As a journalist, I also LOVE writing a lot.

No Man's Art Gallery Amsterdam

Bar, cafe & art gallery

"It's a gallery with art only made by (people who identify as) women and also a breakfast/lunch (try their pancakes) place where you can chat with a friend."

No Mans Art Gallery is very close to my home, however, it took me a while to find it, since it is kind of hidden. Now that I have found it, I come here at least once a week.

This place is suitable for any occasion. First of all: it is a gallery with art only made by (people who identify as) women. Second, it is a breakfast/lunch (try their pancakes!) place where you can chat with a friend. Third, it is a place where I often work with my laptop and actually get some work done (I usually get very distracted in cafes).

And lastly, it is a bar where you can go on a date, have a drink with friends or have a fun night by yourself. From the outside, it doesn't look that big, but once you're inside, it is very spacious. In the back, they have windows from floor to ceiling, that let so much natural light in. And their music is never too loud, which is also nice.

As you can read, I absolutely love this place. I would recommend it for almost everything. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
