Elyse EstradaAugust 12, 2015Get a Dutch & Stormy. It's so good and strong but doesn't taste strong. You now have a nice little buzz to go back to the rainbow room and take a ton of photos, do a kartwheel, it's your world.
Shaun WestonOctober 21, 2015Short, but sweet interactive tour of a surprisingly historic brand. Tickets are €13 online and includes entry, a free cocktail and a couple of tasters. Extra cocktails are only a fiver each.
Upvoted Sep 28- John BarnhamApril 1, 2016It's a fun place, really liked the blind smell test. The cocktails are mixed by pro's and at 5€ a pop, it must be the best value in Amsterdam.
- Artyom FedosovJuly 29, 2016Completely not typical bar visiting experience. In a good way, of course.
Ken ArmitageMarch 2, 2017Great fun with friends. Activities for all the senses. Smell testing, tasting and lighting show. Make-your-own cocktail included in the price. Good value
DJ CFebruary 12, 2017If you're an appletini person you'll probably enjoy this. If you are an old fashioned, Martini, or craft beer person, you can still have fun here but it won't be what you're hoping for
DHR.comJanuary 17, 2012Devoted to the world of cocktails and the brand of Bols Amsterdam 157, this is an amazing place to learn more about different cocktail mixes. Shots also await visitors at the end of the tour.
Briana BaileyMay 5, 2019Something different and fun near the museum square! They give you a cocktail included in the price and the experience was fun and interactive.

Camryn EmoryJuly 1, 2019Yummy cocktails and cool tour! Doesn't take long and the cocktails are worth it!
Joao PereiraMay 2, 2013It worth every cent you pay for the visit , plus you get a cocktail and a couple of shots with the tour.

Adelia Curtis duarteMarch 20, 2017Fun & silly way to spend an hour. Ask to taste the genever at the end of the tour!

Joe W.March 13, 2012Friday, possibly just Friday night, you only pay 7.50 including a cocktail and two shots of Bols!
Heather SmithOctober 17, 2017The museum was straight forward and enjoyable to go through. But if your not going for the drinks it's not worth the $
Cass COctober 2, 2014Go on Friday for the discounted ticket price, otherwise it's not really worth it
- Joe HughesOctober 29, 2012Kind of cheesy and thin; at least I got a discount with my checkin. Don't lose your drink tickets!

Derk DoijerJanuary 10, 2011Fun tour and surprisingly good cocktails. Try the Capinevra or the Pomegranate Collins
Larisa GrollemondApril 3, 2017Pretty much an hour-long commercial for Bols, but not a bad way to kill some time.

"Fun brew tour, really well done. Plus you get 2.5 beers, so that alone is more than worth the €18 entrance fee."
