The 38 Essential Amsterdam Restaurants

"This cocktail bar is located on Chinatown’s Zeedijk, one of Amsterdam’s oldest streets close to the Red Light District. Tess Posthumus and Timo Janse, who also co-own the beloved bar Flying Dutchmen, take inspiration for their concoctions from famous Dutch products, pubs, and people, like King Willem-Alexander or Vincent van Gogh. The menu also features a huge selection of jenevers, including extremely rare bottlings collected by Posthumus during her many travels. Check out the world’s first kopstoot vending machine, which serves shots of jenever with beer pairings." - Monique van Loon

Service is 1000/10. Staff were really nice, the bartender is so friendly and Ola was very nicr to explain the menu to us and recommended very good drinks. The Genever Category Flight is a good start to taste different Genever, they will provide 3 cups to taste from young tonold Genever. We also tried the Koko Klapa which has a cute passion fruit on top, taste is very good and interesting, we also got ipa and pilsner beer. They have more choices for cocktail I wish we had more time to try the rest, snacks are also provided. Highly recommended here and will definitely come back, staff is friendly and superb!

I came here 2 weeks ago with my friend and it is by far the best cocktail bar I have ever been to. We came here for 2 nights in a row and the cocktails were amazing as well as the staff! I would like to give a huge shoutout to Yung who served us both nights and to Luca who was behind the bar, both of them were lovely and provided an amazing service! I Would definitely recommend coming here and getting the Dutch Courage Cocktail and I will absolutely come back next time I am in Amsterdam!

​My second visit to this cozy Dutch cocktail bar was just as wonderful as the first. ​Martijn and Ola are the most hospitable and service-oriented bartenders you'll find in Amsterdam. They're fun to talk to and go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable time. Whether it's offering expert suggestions for your drink or giving a sneak peek into the bar's history and stories of Amster-damn, their passion shines through. ​We originally intended to stay for just one drink, but we ended up staying until the place closed! The night was filled with laughter and beautiful conversations. ​I highly recommend this place if you want to unwind, forget about life for a bit, and indulge in some delicious cocktails crafted by true professionals.

Fantastic intimate cocktail bar! Staff were so genuinely friendly! Everyone welcomed us as soon as we went through the door. We chose a table at the back of the bar but the guy came and invited us to a much better location which was great! The cocktail menu was HUGE and with many unique cocktails and types of Genever. Again, staff were more than willing to offer advice and recommendations. None disappointed!! Had a great atmosphere and would definitely return!

Pretty nice inside! Super cozy decor. Cocktails were great! This was the best espresso martini I’ve probably ever had. Special shout out to the girl with blue hair who worked there. They were so patient and helpful in making the right drink choices for what we liked. So pleasant!
