This bar was recommended to me by a bartender in Berlin. The first time I came I didn't have a…read morereservation but since it was just me, they were able to squeeze me in at the bar. The bartenders were busy but nice and took care to explain the creative and extensive menu. The second time I came I made a reservation for two online. You pay for the reservation but that amount is then applied to your check. The drinks are quite good and I understand the need for the reservation. It's not a big space but it's very popular so it's consistently full. This is a great bar so I can see why it's so popular. Don't miss Flying Dutchmen Cocktails in Amsterdam.

We stopped here for a cocktail. We did not have reservations so we had to wait until something…read moreopened. The server brought over a pinkish liquid and I asked what it was. He said water, so I assumed it was it was tinted from the lighting. When I took a sip it was a flavored water. I asked if it was gluten-free and he was very rude in his response. Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.

This place made me happy, highly recommended.

Awesome beers and a wonderful place to sit and enjoy them. Great service. I can't wait to go backread more

I'm in shock.... …read more... give me a minute here.... Ok... breath:::::::: breath:::::::::: So... I live around the corner from this uber dive bar and I never discovered until the month that I'm moving from Amsterdam!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! But fret not my Yelp friends, my misfortune can be your gain! If you like really divey squatter-ish local bars, with spinning lady mannequin heads, pinball machines, stuffy small smoking rooms, and a small floor for Interpretive Dancing, this is your place!!! So put on your shimmering silver leggings, fox fur scarf, lumberjack hat and come on over for some beers. This is one sexy vrouw in de buurt dat jij moet kenen!!! P.S. If you prefer taking shots, loud drunk screaming people, and smoking too much weed, you best stick to the main streets of the Red Light.

Stumbled upon this absolute gem and cannot rate it highly enough. The drink menu is so creative and…read morethe cocktails are actually crafted, complex masterpieces- not your average vodka & sugary chemical concoction. Loved the Lavender Honey Sour & their signature drink especially but really enjoyed the adventure of trying different cocktails in comparison to the compass + walk/run/fly menu descriptions. Everyone working there took their time with us to chat professionally but casually and gave recommendations which made it an even better experience. Plus, it had a very cool ambiance and we were able to immediately be seated both times. When we travel, we like to try new places every time but this is the first time we decided we had to go back again before we left Amsterdam. Shoutout to Alina who was there both times! Not surprised to see she is an owner, she had that sh*t on lock!! Honestly an integral part of the enjoyment of our experience. Thanks for an unforgettable time!

The vibe was engaging and friendly! The bartenders were helpful and offered good suggestions. It was a good time from beginning to the last call!

My husband liked the Tang and Song very much!

I'd love to come back to this spot for some more drinks the next time I'm in Amsterdam.

Thanks to Iago from NJoy, we heard about this soeakeasy and decided to check it out. Reservations…read morerecommended. Carlota who answered the doorbell, was able to accommodate us at the bar (our preferred seating anyway). She took our coats, placed them in the coat closet up front and led us inside. Once seated, we were given gorgeous ruby red complimentary aperitif (hibiscus, honey, ginger). The drink menu is interesting, based on the concept of growing up, with more basic tastes to start and more mature complex tastes later on in life. (The drinks are more complex the later in the menu). I ordered the Awake at Last, and my husband ordered the Ruby Stone. Mine was sweet and coffee flavored and his was more tart and sour cherry flavored. When I tried his drink, I immediately felt nostalgic because it reminded me of umeboshi (pickled plum in Japanese food), so we ended up trading drinks. Both were great for supping. Sitting at the bar was fun, watching the bartender at his work. He was silent, focused, skilled, professional. So glad we checked it out! I didn't post pictures of the entrance or inside because I'll leave it to you to discover! (The fun of a speakeasy).

My husband and I were in Zürich before coming to Amsterdam and met a friend who is from Amsterdam…read more He recommended Pulitzer's Bar- so we immediately called and made a reservation. We were going on a boat tour that afternoon, to see all the light installations, so we made sure the timing was right to get to Pulitzer's on time! We had a 6:00 reservation, and got there promptly and found the door that we were to enter. The door was locked, but there was a sign that said 'please wait, someone will be with you soon'. Our wait was very short, and someone promptly came, greeted us and took us to our seats at the bar. Because a reservation, I believe is required, (not 200% about that), we were wondering if it would be a bit stuffy. It was not at all, everyone that we spoke to was very friendly, and great service at the bar. There were other couch settings and a few different set ups, but as usual, we love the bar. Our drinks were fabulous and we tried three of their menu items- only have appetizers, but they were very good. In talking to my sister and her husband, after we returned home, who had just been to Amsterdam, I realized that they stayed at the Pulitzer hotel, which we did not know when we were there. They loved the hotel - so I can give a recommendation for that as well. They said all the rooms are different and they really loved their room. I think everyone would really enjoy a stay at the Pulitzer hotel and definitely get a reservation to Pulitzer's bar- you won't be disappointed.
