Tales & Spirits

We spent a week in Amsterdam, did just about everything you could imagine, and visiting this bar was by far the highlight of our trip. John may be the best bartender we have ever encountered. Don't miss out on the opportunity to sit at the bar and interact with him if you have a chance. Thank you for the thoughtful and delicious drinks - we can't wait to come back one day.

We stumbled upon this wonderful cocktail bar on our first day in Amsterdam. Our server, Francois, treated us with the best hospitality and cleverly joked around with us all night. The craft cocktails are delicious and the vibe of the place, as well as the service, are top notch. We ate the crunchy chicken and pork buns and both were high quality snacks. As an added bonus they have heated cushions and blankets if you’re seated outside and are cold. One of the best experiences we have had to date!

Just the best! Wide range of cocktails, everything is sooo good. If you can’t find anything you like, they’ll make you a custom drink. In terms of food, you should def try crunchy chicken - it’s the top! One of my favourite bars in Amsterdam with the best staff in the city, always happy to come back as I know the experience will be great!

Absolutely stellar cocktail bar, and I doubt there are better staff anywhere in the city.

Show up early, or be prepared to wait, and if you can score a seat at the bar, DO IT and let the amazing bar staff decide for you, with a bit of guidance on your tastes. You will not be disappointed.

Such a cute cocktail bar! It is super cozy, cocktails are delicious and not too pricey! Friendly service as well and it does get busy for walk-ins. I would get a reso just in case
