It is an absolutely fun experience.
We had the jenever tasting set, and the waiter was friendly and fun and knowledgeable, gave us detailed introduction to jenever and the drinks we ordered.
Later we ordered cocktails which are also interesting in flavor.

We were seated in the very back. The seats are small and not very comfortable. We were also ignored by the waitress a few times. She could have paid more attention to our corner or walked around more often.

One of best cocktail bars in Amsterdam. Great service, they know their trade, that's for sure.
Kindly asked them to prepare a cocktail that was not on the menu... "no problem, we can make it happen", they said. Will be back, definitely.
