Flying Dutchmen Cocktails | Cocktail Bar Amsterdam

We got into the place and the waiter started to make offensive and unnecessary jokes. (Not the bold guy who was very kind but the other one.) We ordered the drinks and one of our friends didn’t like the taste. When we asked how to adjust the sweetness, he told her that she already drank the half of her glass. See in the picture it was only 2-3 sips to understand the taste. The intention was not changing the drinks but the attitude and approach were not acceptable. We didn’t want to get any discussion. Place is very small and crowded so better to make reservations in advance. There are way better cocktail bars and this had been a disappointment for us.

Eccentric and totally chill vibes! I wish such a place existed in my hometown. It’s pretty so be aware if you’re with a large group (over 5 ppl). Also, the staircase leading up to the bar is probably the most narrow with smallest steps I’ve ever seen lol. Nonetheless, it is pretty common for those types of staircases in the city. I’d bravely take on those steps just to be in that spot. The drinks are Amazing! I had the Koko Klapa and it was so tasty, sweet, a little bitter, smoky, fruity, and smooth. Lastly, the bartenders were very engaging so not only were they attentive but they made us laugh and had a very warm presence. Needless to say, that I really enjoyed my drink and my time at the Flying Dutchmen.

Wonderful experience with a very good person we met with him and served us. Mr Chris, for his positive vibes and knowledge about all around country’s. And what he love about our “dates” my special gratitude to him and his entire team members.

We ordered our first round from the menu, both drinks were great, particularly the Gun Club Punch. Where this bar really shines is their extremely knowledgeable staff - if you tell them what spirits you like and what general flavors you want they will provide you with great recommendations, for our second round we just told our server what we were after and he most certainly delivered. In summary if you’re a cocktail fan who likes to experiment and try new things this place will definitely be for you, or if you’re after an expertly made classic this place can’t be beat.

Simply a perfect moment. Real mixology experience with perfect Barmaid and service team. Always there to discuss and introduce you into cocktails world !

The cocktails are amazing here. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about their craft and helped us learn about our drinks. They were inventive if you're interested in something off-menu (for example, I wanted a drink with some absinthe and they made a tuxedo #2)

Some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Lucky enough to be able to walk in on a winter weeknight but I’d recommend making a reservation just in case. Great flavor profiles and super friendly bartender mixologists! Lives up to the hype.

Amazing cocktail bar with very high quality cocktails and super friendly and attentive staff. Can highly recommend coming here

Really tiny cool bar for drinks in Amsterdam Great service and great drinks Very cozy place

Fantastic cocktails. My husband and I stopped in for a few rounds and enjoyed them all plus the service was great. Flying Dutchmen is a must visit.

We love this classy, beautiful cocktail bar in Amsterdam. Every time we go there, it is a must on our list!! It is on the second floor of a really cool old building, and it's better to make a reservation. The cocktails are definitely very classic, unique and very tasty. All of the bartenders and staff have always been very nice and accommodating. It gets crowded, but they do their best to get everyone a drink. Definitely recommend!!

A very cool, trendy spot with dark lighting, and great cocktails. There's definitely a "vibe" of "coolness", with the downstairs feeling more casual than the upstairs.

Really enjoyed the cocktails here, but be aware that this location is very small. My party of 12 arrived for our reservation and it became clear that there really wasn't enough room for all of us -- our "table" was just two four tops pushed together, so most of us had to stand. We were a bit surprised that they even allowed us to make a reservation for a party of our size, as they had even required a deposit. This just didn't meet our expectations and is the only reason why this review isn't 5 stars. The table drama aside though, I loved the cocktails here. The menu has a super fun way of categorizing the cocktails and some of the cocktails were super creative. One of the drinks I ordered (per our server's suggestion) was a mezcal espresso martini that came with smoked marshmallow on top. It was so delicious! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this bar, but it's definitely suited for smaller groups.

Innovative cocktails in a beautiful space. I especially enjoyed the S'more Coffee martini. And, the only bar I found in AMS that carries multiple bourbons. Beware the narrow, winding staircase, but totally worth it!

...we had positive hopes of enjoying an evening of cocktails here; however - we arrived 8 mins late. This establishments' "grace period" to hold a 7:30pm RESERVATION is published as 25 minutes. As we arrived, we were told that confirmed table had just been given away. I asked the host what time it was and (as we both looked at our phones) both indicated 7:38pm. When I asked how 8 mins was the equivalent to surpassing the published 25 min grace period - the host couldn't answer my question. Then we were told that when they could make room, we would have very limited time, as a private party would be coming into this space. Save yourself some time - very crowded with only a small entry (same as exit) exits - and we witnessed people smoking INSIDE the establishment. Avoid.

Super cool little spot in Amsterdam. The have a fun concept for the drink menu. The staff was super intensive and took their time making quality cocktails. If you are new to the scene suggest you give the genevere based cocktails a try. It was the pre cursor to gin and has a unique malty flavor and one of oldest distilled spirits

My husband and I love trying out World Top 100 Bars across the world when we travel. This was one of the places we tried in Amsterdam, so glad we came here! This was a tiny bar. When we got there, only standing room was available, but within 5 minutes, a few tables cleared, and we were able to grab a seat before we even saw the menu! I loved my cocktails here. One of the ones I got was Tommy's Margarita, which was coincidentally recreated from a bar in San Francisco, located just a few blocks from where I live!!!! (What are the chances!) Their interpretation was delicious - will have to try Tommy's again in my neighborhood to compare. I can't remember my second cocktail, but I do remember enjoying it. The cocktails here are very inexpensive, at 12,50 euro! Wow. Quality cocktails for a fantastic price. Unheard of these days! Service was great here. The head bartender (owner?) came up to us when it wasn't busy, and checked in on our drinks, explaining them in more detail the idea behind them. I enjoyed that personal touch! This is a great place to try. They also don't close until 4 am, nuts right?!

This small cocktail bar has a small house cocktail menu of 10 drinks. All the ones we tried were delicious. The Flying Dutchman is a cozy environment with a friendly bartending staff. They kindly and willingly made my husband a custom spicy cocktail.

Amazing drinks and excellent service. The mixologist recommended the Brazilian Gold Rush and it tasted amazing. I will definitely come back try out other drinks they have to order. Plus the atmosphere is very comfortable and the service is very accommodating.

Great cocktail bar with fun atmosphere. The bartenders and servers are knowledgeable and help find the perfect cocktail for you. They have an interesting menu that gives you 3 options for the same classic cocktail. Fun time

Amaaaaazing place to enjoy the best of the best cocktails in a fantastic atmosphere with a lovely staff.

Small cosy place with great selection of cocktails, extraordinary menu and fast and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out even if you are not a cocktail person: they are so good that you'll become one.

A great place to have a drink when visiting Amsterdam. We stop here every time we visit Amsterdam because of Tineke. She is the bartender there. She is great to talk too and get advice for places to go to dinner. They have a great selection of draft beers too.

This was recommended to us by another bartender, and we're so glad we went. It's newly open as of January 2018. The staff is so friendly and nice, and the drinks were delicious! They have a menu of classic cocktails and include a favor compass to help point you in the right direction if you need some guidance. This place stays open late, which is a plus. Definitely check it out!

Great cocktail bar along the canals of Amsterdam. Bartenders were very friendly and pour an excellent drink. The menu is creative and there is a "flavor compass" to help choose well, the flavor profile you're looking for, but also strength. Definitely a great spot for a drink - I imagine this place gets pretty packed in the later hours.
