caption_attribution_description: Amsterdam, Zeedijk 63, Nederlands: Café 't Mandje aan de Zeedijk was sinds 1927 in bezit van Bet van Beeren. Zij kwam openlijk uit voor haar homoseksualiteit. Al jong wist Bet dat ze op vrouwen viel. 't Mandje was één van de eerste cafés waar homoseksuele mannen en lesbische vrouwen hun geaardheid niet hoefden te verbergen. In 1967 overleed Bet. Ze lag twee dagen opgebaard op het biljart. Haar 21 jaar jongere zuster Greet zette de zaak voort tot de heroïne in 1982 het leven op de Zeedijk compleet ontwricht had. Greet woonde er boven en zorgde dat er regelmatig werd afgestoft, gelucht en gestofzuigd. Op 29 april 2009 is het café heropend.
context_page_description: Café 't Mandje is a bar in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is located in Zeedijk street and was opened in 1927 by Bet van Beeren, herself a lesbian. The Amsterdam Museum holds the replica of 't Mandje.
  't Mandje is often presented as the first gay bar in the Netherlands, but that's not correct: in Amsterdam there were already some gay bars in the first decade of the 20th century. Also, 't Mandje was not specifically a bar for gay men, but more of a tolerant place where prostitutes, pimps, seamen and lesbian women came together.
