Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
South Beach loves to glamorize social decay, so it isn’t surprising that Amsterdam’s red-light district, De Wallen, has gotten the SoBe spit-polish treatment. The area, arguably a cesspool of criminal gang activity and human trafficking, is brought to life — minus any actual prostitution — when De Wallen Rouge brings the skeeze to Mokai every Friday.
Coincidentally, ever since its lurid face-lift, the lounge looks like a mini-whorehouse. And there, under the glare of the nightclub’s crimson lights, DJs Konflikt and Rascal will provide the sultry soundtrack. The party will also be a feast for your eyes (and dirtier parts), with burlesque featuring contortionists, S&M with plenty of hot wax to spare, and something called a grinder show. Don’t ask. The sin starts at 11 p.m. and costs $25, which wouldn’t even buy you a handjob in the real De Wallen.
