We then stopped in for breakfast a couple of times, and the morning folks were just as friendly. It was basically empty inside, with great WiFi, and pretty solid breakfast food.

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!

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.
