I visited this amazing little place 3 times on my recent visit! What an absolute gem - friendly, attentive staff, and incredible bartenders! I tried 5 drinks from the menu, but the “Shut the Fuck Up George” may be my favorite! Thank you so much for your hospitality- I will return soon and tell everyone I know!

Best cocktail bar I've ever been to. All the bartenders know an incredible amount about booze of all kinds and can make and recommend off-menu drinks based on your tastes.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, lovely patrons.

I recently visited this bar and I have to say it was an absolutely amazing experience! Upon entering I was greeted by smiling and friendly staff who immediately created a great atmosphere. Their approach was really professional and friendly, which made me immediately happy.

There were delicious chilli peppers waiting for us on the table which added the perfect touch to the evening. They were fresh and spicy - just the way I like it! As for the drinks, they were really strong and perfectly mixed. Every sip was delicious and full of flavour, which definitely added to the memorable experience.

Overall, I was thrilled with this place and will definitely be back. If you're looking for a bar with great staff, great drinks and tasty treats, check this one out.

This place was amazing in every regards I can think of.

Cocktails were stellar.  The host and bartender were super friendly.   The vibe was exactly what you want in a high end cocktail bar.

They gave us these cool warming cushions to use since my significant other was a little chilly.

I will certainly be back to this place next time I’m in Amsterdam.  Best cocktail bar I’ve been in years.

Fantastic cocktail bar and a propper hidden gem. Staff were great and cocktails delicious. We didn't book and it was busy but managed to get a table. Would recommend going if you can.
