    The barman knows very well what he is doing. He prepared me tailormade cocktail and suggested perfect other cocktail bars. He called a cab for me and helped me to enter to a speakeasy bar.

    Sleight of hand & sheer magical evocation in the "Smoke and Mirrors". Ketel One vodka, Martini Gran Lusso vermouth, Pierre Ferrand dry Curaçao, strawberry-basil shrub, olive oil & rosemary. Magical.

    The service and cocktails were awesome. I really enjoyed their pork and the cocktail selection like Bartender Ketchup, and the one from the photo. Please keep in mind that it’s a bit pricey ~15€

    This quirky cocktail bar has everything you need for a good time. All of the drinks were really fun, and many come with a show. Do yourself a favor and stop here for a late night cocktail.

    Very well-made cocktails and great service. Lots of rules: you have to be seated by the host and you must hang your coat on the coatrack. Free water and free chips with delicous mango chutney.

    Cocktails are great, dinner is awesome, but if you're just having a drink make sure (!) you order the Crunchy Chicken. Perfect fingerfood with your drinks.

    All great ideas/cocktails start with a "What if...?" moment! Get the house special cocktail by that name, then check your number on the counter above the bar, I had #2836.

    Only place in Amsterdam where they do proper old fashioneds. The Colombo with genever base is excellent. 7th regiment is also worth trying.

    The cocktails here are off the hook. I highly recommend that you describe your tastes to the waiters and let them return with an amazing creation carefully suited to your palate. Fantastic!

    The drinks are very good & the bartenders know what they’re doing but the super uptight service & overall pretension makes it very difficult to enjoy yourself.
