Get 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 Weston

Short , 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.

John Barnham

It'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 Fedosov

Completely not typical bar visiting experience. In a good way, of course.

Ken Armitage

Great 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 C

If 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

Devoted 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 Bailey

Something different and fun near the museum square! They give you a cocktail included in the price and the experience was fun and interactive.

The museum was straight forward and enjoyable to go through. But if your not going for the drinks it's not worth the $

Go on Friday for the discounted ticket price, otherwise it's not really worth it
