Amazing hidden speak-easy bar in Amsterdam. Not cheap but you get pampered, best high class cocktails in town with soft jazz music and luxurious leather interior. Must try if you visit Amsterdam.

Ryan Tauer

World class establishment. They craft cocktails to perfection. I love the penicillin drink- on the menu since day one! Rotating drink of the week. Expensive, but worth it for the service/atmosphere

George Louloudis

Exquisite cocktails in a warm, comfortable environment, where the music is a gentle background allowing you to actually have a conversation with someone.

Rozina Szőgyényi

Its collection of single malt Scottish whiskies is unrivalled. The bar also stocks a huge collection of craft beers too.

Visne Kiraz

BarOldenhof has a very cozy atmosphere with its nice interior design . The whisky collection is limited if it is compared to L&B but there are coctail , rum , and gin options for non-whisky drinkers.

Hans Gerwitz

An often-inspired menu that’s worth exploring even if you’re a fan of the classics.

Robert Gaal

The door won't reveal it, but this is the best cocktail bar in town . Just press the doorbell and be amazed by the service.

It’s like a small slice of the past, with a vintage jazz bar vibe, an artsy , literary feel which makes it seem like an escape from a more refined time. Read more

Great choice and quality of drinks. Knowledgeable & dedicated staff . Polite, quiet , very expensive & on the edge of awkward pretentiousness .

Alexander Lobov

Thoroughly old school in design: all mahogany, stained glass , soft jazz & barmen in bow-ties. But they need better ice if they want to make good cocktails .

The Artificial

Ring the golden bell to be shown the way into this old-fashioned, high-end cocktail bar . Warning: you're probably not leaving sober. Read more
