Hidden gem in the center of Amsterdam. Intimate atmosphere, good cocktails and wine. The service was very attentive and friendly. We felt taken care of. Decent prices for Amsterdam.

An amazing discovery in De Pijp neighborhood, right next to the Albert Cyup market— speakeasy ambiance with trees and almost a “street” vibe, cozy seating with booths and sofas, delicious cocktails and good food (shoutout to the Amsterdam cheese!). One of the highlights of my trip, would definitely recommend for a fun, vibrant, yet chill evening.🫶

The. BEST. Extra Dirty Martini. EVER!! Seriously, you won’t care if your hands and ankles swell up from the salt intake, you will order another one promptly after finishing the first! Music was on point, staff very friendly and bar atmosphere had a cool vibe. Came in for the espresso martini with a Stroop Wafel garnish (unabashedly a tourist) but left with wishing this was our local.

Great bar, amazing cocktails, nice atmosphere and an excellent service. One of the few places left in European touristic cities that serve water for free and make sure that your glass is always full. Definitely recommend it!

We were looking for a good cocktail bar in Amsterdam, and we found it! Reminded me of home, as in Estonia we have a similarly styled bar in the capital. Even though the prices are high, the cocktails were worth it. I took one from the menu and the other one the bartender made me something and both were amazingly tasty! Interior is cool and cozy and the vibe is great!
