The space is quite tiny, which adds to the atmosphere as well as fill up the bar a little too quickly. One thing is true: It's Dutch 'gezelligheid' at its best. I might just have picked the best night to be here, in which case, you might not find this bar worth 5 stars on other days. To me however, the Sunday alone makes it worth it.

Paul (and others) were all convivial hosts, and the options are plentiful. The inside was entirely inviting, but what a treat to relax over the water or along the street in the sunshine. Beer enthusiasts will find myriad domestic and foreign options, but whether knowledgeable or not, I'd encourage visitors to ask for recommendations - the staff are great guides. Recommended for a visit.

It has a bit of space inside, but it fills up very quickly towards the weeknights and weekends, so be sure to grab a spot earlier. The service is really great, and they help you find a beer that fits you. Definitely check it out in summer too. They have a cute little outdoor seating space that faces out to the canal on a not so busy street. So it has great views even from outside.

All furniture were made of brown dark wood, the colour that match the rest of the room, from the ceiling to the floor. It is only lighted by soft light balls that covered with copper lampshades.

There is a small dance area on the back side, where you also can find some gambling machines and toilets. read full review... http://lovingchristo.com/cafe-de-vink/

On my last day of a 6 week stay in the Netherlands, I went with my sister to Vavoom Tiki Room on a…read moresunny afternoon for drinks. We told the host we were there for drinks, and she said she would have a table for us soon. A couple minutes later she sat us at a nice outdoor table and we started looking through the drink menu at the wide array of cocktails. A waiter then came over and told us that they weren't even serving cocktails until hours later that day. We were there specifically for drinks, and the staff new that. Why would they have the cocktail menus on each table when they are not serving them? They are known for their cocktails. This lack of communication makes no sense to me. To any staff member of Vavoom who is reading this, please make some changes for your future guests! If someone comes to Vavoom and asks to be seated at an hour where you are not serving cocktails, kindly let them know that you are not serving cocktails BEFORE they sit down and start choosing their cocktails. Also do not keep the cocktail menu on the tables when they are not being served. If normal drinks like wine and beers served during that time are on the same menu, then you need to have separate menus for them. The hours in which you do not serve cocktails should also clearly be stated on the website so that people like my sister and I don't make the trip there for nothing. If these issues are addressed, and the cocktails are delicious (I don't know because I never got to try them, but I'm sure they are good!) then I would give the place 5 stars . . . but this really needs to be addressed. Thank you for reading! Cheers.

On the final night of their Americana season, we saw the world-class David Olney and Sergio Webb perform here. Because the venue is fairly small, you get a very intimate experience, and they let us put some stools right by the side of the stage. The venue is decorated with all kinds of jazz and blues figurines and memorabilia, and it has a very comfortable (gezellig!) atmosphere. The place is sort of U-shaped, which allows them to fit in more people yet maintain the sense of intimacy. Something about the feeling of this venue really helped people loosen up, and everyone seemed to be having a blast. Much more relaxed atmosphere than when I saw David and Sergio at another venue two days later. Staff at the bar, ticket office, etc. was super friendly, and the concert was amazing. One of the best nights I've had in a long time! PS: Didn't take us too long to find parking nearby, but keep in mind that the machine doesn't accept coins and doesn't seem to take foreign cards. We ended up getting a ticket !!
