Timea VeghSeptember 20, 2017Absolute top place, one of the best in Europe. Countless speciality ingredients, rigorous care in mixing and angelic, reliable, friendly stuff. I have been 2x in one week and will be back soon.

Dmitry BokovJanuary 17, 2015Great cocktail bar! It is hard to find good cocktail bar on Amsterdam and HPS is definitely one of the best. Ask for genever martinez if you want a cocktail based on local spiritUpvote4Downvote
Arno RichterAugust 21, 2016Went there early (before dinner, ~8:30 PM) and had no trouble scoring a place at the bar. The friendly and knowledgable staff made us feel welcome and at home. Absolute recommendation for cocktails.Upvote1Downvote
Adelia Curtis duarteNovember 18, 2017Fav bar in Amsterdam. Email for reservations. Walking dead is great to split with a friend for a treat. The Thai basil smash is perfect for summer nights, while their old fashioneds will keep you warmUpvoteDownvote
Felipe SoalheiroJanuary 23, 2017Mounir is one of the most skilled and creative bartenders in Europe. Go for his recommendations and enjoy.

Best cocktailbar in Amsterdam and probably the best in the world. They don't serve beer and wine, because their cocktails are awesome. Go by, sit at the bar and enjoy!UpvoteDownvote
Frederique MattiJuly 22, 2015Reserve a table and go here for sure if you get the change. Try to go on a weekday, it won't be so busy and you'll get to talk to the amazing staff.UpvoteDownvote
Adrien PétremannJanuary 15, 2017Really great place and people. Their cocktails are just amazing (high price but it really worth it). Make a reservation because it's quickly full!UpvoteDownvote
LieuweMay 9, 2014You should definitely try the Hacker's Delight (smoky mezcal & slightly bitter and herbal maté). Friendly staff, although the bar conversation feels a bit forced. Quick to make the cocktails.UpvoteDownvote
Mustafa AktasJanuary 1, 2015So cozy in terms of live musinc (during NYE), cocktails, service personnel and the visitors. All cool and elegant 60s' ;)

Debo GoodmanMarch 29, 2014Must make a reservation before going- you can't get a drink there otherwise - and drinks are not cheap but worth it. Try the plum syrup cocktail lovelyUpvoteDownvote
Anna LiebermannJanuary 31, 2017Creative and unique menus. They dare what no one else had thought off! Plus sometimes a small jazz combo playing live music. Very cozy.UpvoteDownvote
Kate SDecember 31, 2018The cocktails are amazing. I suggest the house old fashioned or the sideburn- both were delicious.
