    I visited on a very quiet Sunday evening, so the atmosphere wasn't amazing. The guy working was friendly and attentive though, and the Moscow Mules were extremely tasty. I loved that crisps were brought with our drinks in true aperitivo fashion! I liked the decor and the music, the only thing missing was other drinkers.

    Great place for a drink! The chill/party atmosphere was very nice with a mix of couples, dates and groups mostly local young professionals. The music was electronic, and well chosen by the dj. The bartendress was a bit rude though when I went to order.

    My new fave wine bar in Zeedijk - a cozy bar with a very welcoming atmosphere , run by a very friendly staff! Yay - a gem in the heart of Amsterdam city center

    Went here on a date. Walked in for a drink. Left after a 'few' drinks and a cheese platter. Will go back here as I love the vibe here.

    Odd experience and overall don't really recommend cocktails. We came here to pop in for a cocktail after reading some good reviews, but they only make what is on their menu and nothing else despite having a fully stocked at the bar with alcohol that isnt featured in any of their cocktails. My partner isn't really a prosecco kind of guy and asked for a classic cocktail (an old fashioned), and the bartender said that she didn't even know what that was. My drink was ok, but it was nothing more than Prosecco and Creme de Cassis, and overall, it wasn't worth the price.

    This spot became one of our top favorites on our trip to Amsterdam. The Spicy Tequila’s are the best cocktails out there, made by the lovely owner Eva, we also had the best pizza on our second night there with a beautiful bottle of red and of course more spicy tequilas! On our last night there we met the other staff who were also amazing and the DJs were brilliant playing super cool old skool funky beats. The only thing we were sad about was they don’t open Sunday’s otherwise we would have gone again. We will be back! Thanks you Lesa & Graham

    Looking for a nice place to kick it back in the centre of Amsterdam? If you are looking for some good cocktails, service and relaxed vibes, go here. By the window you’ll have the beautiful turmoil of the Zeedijk street. People walking by in a hurray while you’ll relax inside. Broadly speaking the music I heard while visiting was minimal, pop, disco, disco italia, soul. Just laid back kind of stuff. “Een fijne plek om te borrelen”, as we Dutch people would say.

    Small and super cozy, but still beautiful place for a drink or too, while listening to great italo disco. They have great choices for mocktails, the 0,0% alcohol aperol spritz was absolutely delicious!

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
