The barman knows very well what he is doing. He prepared me tailormade cocktail and suggested perfect other cocktail bars. He called a cab for me and helped me to enter to a speakeasy bar.

Sleight of hand & sheer magical evocation in the "Smoke and Mirrors". Ketel One vodka, Martini Gran Lusso vermouth, Pierre Ferrand dry Curaçao, strawberry-basil shrub, olive oil & rosemary. Magical.

Very good friendly atmosphere,good music and lots of coctails! Make it easy : If u like strong , order a "General Lee" ; If u like softer w fresh fruit , order "Bob"✌️ Proost🍸

The service and cocktails were awesome. I really enjoyed their pork and the cocktail selection like Bartender Ketchup, and the one from the photo. Please keep in mind that it’s a bit pricey ~15€

This quirky cocktail bar has everything you need for a good time. All of the drinks were really fun, and many come with a show. Do yourself a favor and stop here for a late night cocktail.

Drop Of Art was pretty ingenious and very creative!

Very well-made cocktails and great service. Lots of rules: you have to be seated by the host and you must hang your coat on the coatrack. Free water and free chips with delicous mango chutney.
Anna LiebermannJanuary 31, 2017
Combined with their fantastic menu, you'll be happy to linger here all evening. Tales & Spirit has everything you'll need to be pampered and served at the highest levels.

It was so crowded without a single sit but that very nice guy offered me a corner on the bar because it was my birthday. All of them was very nice to me and cheerful. Loved the place :)

Cocktails are great, dinner is awesome, but if you're just having a drink make sure (!) you order the Crunchy Chicken. Perfect fingerfood with your drinks.

Peter KarlsenOctober 24, 2017
Amazing cocktails in a very good quality. Atmosphere is very cozy and nice. There might be some waiting time to get a free table.
Sam BrownJanuary 9, 2014
All great ideas/cocktails start with a "What if...?" moment! Get the house special cocktail by that name, then check your number on the counter above the bar, I had #2836.
Margarita KrupApril 3, 2017
Great cocktail place with a fun twist. Bartenders and super friendly and can make you any drink. Try the General Lee cocktail.
Tatiana S ChacónNovember 1, 2014
In this place they really take care of you, the staff is friendly, enthusiastic and chic. The cocktails are wonderful, also the bites like the pork belly buns. It is my new fab place in town!

Best cocktail-bar I have been in Amsterdam. The staff is so nice that you don't want to leave anymore. Just let the bartenders choose the cocktail for you, they are all great! Recommended!

Cosy cocktail bar with fancy cocktails & super helpful staff. There might be a queue to go inside (bar quite small) 🍹🍸
Brian GadenAugust 5, 2014

The cocktails here are off the hook. I highly recommend that you describe your tastes to the waiters and let them return with an amazing creation carefully suited to your palate. Fantastic!
Renato Valdes OlmosJuly 23, 2013
Only place in Amsterdam where they do proper old fashioneds. The Colombo with genever base is excellent. 7th regiment is also worth trying.

The drinks are very good & the bartenders know what they’re doing but the super uptight service & overall pretension makes it very difficult to enjoy yourself.
Gus RegoutMarch 16, 2013
Very nice place, quiet atmosphere, kind barman and delicious cocktails (worth the money). I recommend the "ouwe hoeren" (named after the location of the bar in the oldest whores street of the city)

Really cosy little place. Little miss trouble was great. Alternatively, sit by the bar and let the wonderful bartenders make something for you!

Cocktails are really good . "What if.."is totally recommended.

Amazing unusual cocktails! Gets crowded though, so get there early because they won’t let you in without a seat.

Great cocktails, great menu. Their daquiri packs a punch. Their Zombie mix? Divine.
Timea VeghOctober 6, 2017
Their speciality ingredients are truly desirable, and who else has 11 types of Old fashioned? Forrest Gump cocktail for rum lovers is a must!
Maritza SpitlerSeptember 18, 2018
If you like tequila and mezcal perfectly blended together, must do “la muerta”
