John NeerdaelFebruary 8, 2017Amazing hidden speak-easy bar in Amsterdam. Not cheap but you get pampered, best high class cocktails in town with soft jazz music and luxurious leather interior. Must try if you visit Amsterdam.
Ryan TauerMay 25, 2017World class establishment. They craft cocktails to perfection. I love the penicillin drink- on the menu since day one! Rotating drink of the week. Expensive, but worth it for the service/atmosphere
George LouloudisNovember 9, 2018Exquisite cocktails in a warm, comfortable environment, where the music is a gentle background allowing you to actually have a conversation with someone.
Rozina SzőgyényiNovember 4, 2015Its collection of single malt Scottish whiskies is unrivalled. The bar also stocks a huge collection of craft beers too.
Visne KirazAugust 17, 2017BarOldenhof has a very cozy atmosphere with its nice interior design. The whisky collection is limited if it is compared to L&B but there are coctail, rum, and gin options for non-whisky drinkers.- An often-inspired menu that’s worth exploring even if you’re a fan of the classics.
Robert GaalJanuary 8, 2018The door won't reveal it, but this is the best cocktail bar in town. Just press the doorbell and be amazed by the service.
Viral ShahNovember 14, 2015Many types of great gin & tonics. The small menu here of cold and hot snacks is delicious and served all night. Cheese croquettes!
JennersSeptember 25, 2017great lil place. no reservations. press doorbell. be greeted by a nice lookin' snazzy gentleman. hollaaaa.
Bea HFebruary 28, 2016Great choice and quality of drinks. Knowledgeable & dedicated staff. Polite, quiet, very expensive & on the edge of awkward pretentiousness.
Alexander LobovJanuary 13, 2016Thoroughly old school in design: all mahogany, stained glass, soft jazz & barmen in bow-ties. But they need better ice if they want to make good cocktails.
The ArtificialNovember 27, 2017Ring the golden bell to be shown the way into this old-fashioned, high-end cocktail bar. Warning: you're probably not leaving sober. Read more
Brooke LouiseJanuary 19, 2020Grab a seat at the bar and chat with the bartender. Perfect cocktails and decor is beautiful.
Zach WestOctober 25, 2015Great spot, great selection really happy with their bourbons. And if you ask nicely you might get them to offer the table some cigars.- Nicolas BelloniMarch 23, 2016What you expect from a good cocktail bar: a classy but relaxed environment and very knowledgeable but unpretentious bartenders
Jon EshuijsDecember 14, 2014Hidden treasure.. great atmosphere, excellent service! The only thing that misses is smoke.. but notice the pictures on the wall upstairs..
- Antoine RogezMarch 25, 2015Recommand the penicillin cocktail for anyone who fancy wiskhy. Great atmosphere and impeccable service. Not cheap though !
- Petra BenachAugust 4, 2017Go early on an off night and dress up a bit (tidy). Cocktails are just beautiful albeit a little pricey.
Alberto SimonSeptember 18, 2016Really great space but music was a bit too low key. The cocktails were tasty though.
Sanne VerbaanAugust 20, 2013Amazing bar! Amazing cocktails and amazing cigars! Try a fleur de paradis champagne cocktail!
- Manolis StamatogiannakisFebruary 26, 2016If you like peaty whiskeys, give a try to the Penicillin cocktail. Awesome!
YukiOctober 13, 2013"Secret" cocktailbar with a beautiful interior. Big plus: they serve shrimp croquettes all night!
Ross BolandApril 13, 2019Nicely decorated and good service, cocktails are average with little flavor, overpriced for what they are
Joseph TerranellaAugust 25, 2015Awesome cocktail bar- knowledgable staff who take pride in their work
AlexanderNovember 25, 2013A brilliant bar. A short list but some amazing drinks, particularly the whiskey-based ones.
Changing Cocktail menu, good selection of Whiskeys, Tequilas and Gins.
CamelliaDecember 19, 2015We are the only guests in the mysterious place ;) large collection of whiskey!
Pro's Con'sNovember 9, 2018After ringing the bell you’ve to wait for a while. But i guess that’s the spirit of the place.
