Hiding in Plain Sight cocktail bar in Amsterdam was an incredible experience! We visited before dinner and were immediately impressed by the semi-hidden location—it’s tucked away without bright lights or a large sign, making it feel like a true hidden gem.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with glasses of water and a thoughtfully designed cocktail menu that included their philosophy, which was a nice touch.

Great cocktail experience with superb service. A good variety of cocktails with good alcohol forward flavours. A little bit on. The expensive side but totally worth it. We arrived soon after they opened and sure it filled up quite quick. So either book in advance or arrive early as a pre dinner.
