Traveler reviews
Everardo Ortiz
★★★★★2 years agoGreat 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.

★★★★★11 months agoI visited this bar on a recommendation by a friend. In an evening, all by myself, as I sauntered into this bar, on my last night in Europe, I wasn't imagining a lot with my mind. This bar and the bartender, Artiom, turned out to be the perfect companion on my last evening. The cocktails are potent and I was pretty buzzed even after my first one. But I dared to take a second and I was as happy as I have ever been walking out of a bar. It's a place to go to unwind at the end of the day. A must visit and a change in experience in Amsterdam
