The place is super cute and cocktails are  delicious. Food is yummy too but too expensive for what you get. We recommend the tuna, Chilli prawns and the chicken wings.
We do not recommend the nachos. The flavours of the sauce and chicken did not match.

The Churros are yummy, and I could drink that rum sauce

Happy that Amsterdam has a proper rum bar with a good selection. The tiki drinks and ambiance outside on the terrace were nice on a sunny Saturday summer evening. When it started getting dark we moved inside, and also enjoyed sitting at the bar. Would recommend.

Pretty much a hip place for Rum lovers. It's based on the Caribbean theme. Quite a lot of options available for food and drinks. The staff is pretty friendly and  comes with a long history. A must try is the Tiki Puca Puca. Cool place to hangout with friends but pricing looks slightly towards the higher end.
