If you are looking for fabulous decor, this place is not for you. This place is a paradise for foodies and wine drinkers. I'm not a big wine guy but our waiter seemed to know the story behind every single Wine they have to offer.... and they have a LOT of wine options from all the world regions. Food.... I have recently stopped eating meat, so I'm going by what my companions told me. They are all super foodies and when they were eating those meat sausages I didn't need their words - their face impressions, rolled eyes, sounds and .... finger lickings said it all ... and then they verbally confirmed that these were one of the best sausages they have ever eaten. Pigs sausage was the most incredible from all the options. What did I eat? OMG! Lobster sausage. Cauliflower dish. One of the most delicious Pulpo I've ever eaten. Amazing local mackerel. Bruschetta from another world. Roasted beats. Some kind of specials. For sweets, their chocolate salami was the best dessert I ever had in Amsterdam over my 6 years of visiting this city 3-4 times per year. If you are sitting outside in their comfy outdoor area, you will feel like you are somewhere on vacation in a very special place on earth... sipping on wine, eating top-notch delicious food... And for icing on the cake, the place is 20 meters from Coffee Shop Bobba... so stop by there first if you need extra appetite or come after dinner to enjoy some of the finest product in the city!

Since it's my favorite place, I looked it up on maps and saved it. When I was there a month or so later, I was riding my bike in the afternoon and saw someone sitting near the front window working on his MacBook with a nice glass or white wine. I immediately slammed the brakes and parked my bike! Fortunately I had my MacBook so I could get some work done and drink some great wine at 4 PM (16:00 hours). Bottom line is you simply purchase a 20-30 euro card (or whatever you want) when you get there and can just choose from any wine in the restaurant. It's awesome. The notable thing is, the bartenders are wonderful and very helpful. They don't just let you fend for yourself, they assist you, give you advice, even free samples! Awesome place. Also, great food too! Try the oysters! They have bitterballen (of course) all day - then dinner and food all night. My favorite dinner place in Overtoom. Don't be afraid as I was the first time - when it was really crowded. Friendly and warm place - gezellig!

The wine menu is embarrassing for an establishment that calls itself the 'wine factory'. That said, as long as your goal is to just have a good time with your company, you will not be disappointed. Just make sure that you ignore wine suggestions by the staff! I didn't have much good luck with a suggestion the first time, so I just ordered something safe the next time. To their credit, they let you sample a wine before you have to commit to paying for it. The menu has a bunch of foods for consumption as well. I didn't try food, but the bowl of nuts was nice with my wine. I am going to try the cheese platter next time. The place does get crowded on the weekends. Although there is a seating area upstairs, I much prefer the easy access to the restroom and the bar downstairs. It does get very loud. The staff could maybe help by not breaking something every 15 minutes. All that said, they also have a heated outdoor seating area, which is mostly blokes getting their cigarette smoke on. Maybe a solid 3 star venue, but an extra star for clean toilets.

At first, you might think it's a little sketchy because it is downstairs but it's only to give you the maximum privacy in a church not to mention!! Remember that these visits are personalised, I'm honestly so happy I found this place and I had a perfect time. You are also not restricted to spending just one hour as per your reservation, there's ample time to lounge and talk. This was great, please go experience!

But once downstairs you are in a whole different world of coziness and wine with a man (José) who knows his stuff! He is super friendly, but professional and helpful and just wants to find you a wine you will love! I dare you to go here and not love it!

The chicken was juicy and vegetables were tasty. The cheese board was huge with a nice selection of cheese. The pretzels were hot and buttery .

They have a few photos on the wall that try to give a more risqué ambience but considering the clientele (largely kids and locals) the posters just kinda stick out. All in all, a welcome spot as long as they don't make walking on the sidewalk up front difficult during the warmer months.

When I opened the massive leather bound wine list, I was amazed. You can get lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc or pilot noir for €4. The rest of the wines are between 5-7 by the glass, with sparkling white wine for €4 as well. Bargain! They have loads of bottles at both everyday and special occasion prices. Someone has put a lot of money into the decor here, it feels very decadent and luxurious. You can also get charcuterie plates. The staff are very warm and friendly, even to scruffy types like myself. A real find among the overpriced Den Haag bars.
