My husband and I were in Zürich before coming to Amsterdam and met a friend who is from Amsterdam. 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. read more

Stephan and his colleagues are true professionals who take service, mixology and the tone they want for the bar to the next level! We enjoyed the craft made cocktails and yummy bar bites very much, but what makes this bar extra special is the genuine interest and professionalism of the staff. Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

This place has a nice cocktail menu. It is a hotel bar but is tucked away well off the lobby and restaraunt. There are entrances on two streets due to the hotel being joined properties. The staff were nice and the drinks were excellent. A relaxed place to have an upscale cocktail (or two!) read more

I was strolling through Amsterdam one sunny afternoon, and came across this inviting watering hole. People in my family can sniff out a bar anywhere. It's a Hemingway themed bar, with shelves of books all around the seating area. The excellent drinks were all named for his books. I didn't have food, but the quiet, distinguished ambience was thrilling in a way. I felt like I was in an exclusive space. I'd like to go back for the food. read more

A nice chill hotel bar where you can recharge after a long day of sightseeing. I got the Avant-garde Caipirinha, which was absolutely delicious. I also got a selection of Dutch cheeses and the sourdough bread, which was delightful and surprisingly filling. The atmosphere is so romantic and quiet - which was much appreciated after a long day. And the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Amsterdam! read more

A must-do in Amsterdam and a fav spot for me for a very long time. They make a fine Spritz, have a great beer selection and the best Negroni I have had, using top shelf gin and vermouth, delivered with a smile and pride. Go. read more

Amazing service, beautiful setting. The menu was well done and each of the speciality cocktails were based on characters from Murder on the Orient Express, each with a fun description and "alibi." We went with The Salesman and The Maid, which were both good and served in picturesque glassware, but did not blow me away. The Maid our favorite between the two. Would come back another time to try different drinks if I was in the area again. Bonus: the free bar nut mix and rice crackers were delicious. read more

Wow what a cocktail bar!! Prices are high and justified by the ambient, service and most important by the originality. Make sure you make a reservation. read more

This place takes a 25€ no show fee and then charges you a few days after you go. I went and had a drink and they charged me anyway. Now they refuse to answer my phone calls or email. Stay away!! Shady establishment and money grab. read more

My wife and I had an amazing time at Pulitzer Bar for her birthday. Our trip from Boston to Amsterdam centered around our two nights at Pulitzer Bar and we could not have had a better time. This was our third trip to Amsterdam in 18 months and we are already looking forward to the next visit and another evening with the attentive team at the Pulitzer. They made a special trip even better! read more

We had a great experience! Highly recommend. Great cocktails and service. We were celebrating our anniversary and they went above and beyond to make our evening special. Atmosphere is great. It's a must go to place when in Amsterdam! read more

Hands down my favorite cocktail bar in Amsterdam. Let me count the ways: 1) Gorgeous and sophisticated interior but doesn't feel snobby, just warm and cozy 2) Super inventive drinks! When was the last time you saw carrot juice in a cocktail?! 3) Not just inventive but also delicious drinks. 4) Friendly bartenders 5) Snacks. You know what goes well with cocktails? Rice snacks. Sure the drinks here will run you $15 but snag a table by the window and you'll have an unobstructed view of the canal and comfy seating. This place is a welcome escape from the busy city. read more

Great service. Amazing cocktails. The ambiance is just right. The bar is also beautiful

I can't rave enough about this place. They make the best cocktails in Amsterdam. The service and ambiance are unbelievable as well. Living in New York City, I am a total snob when it comes to cocktail bars. I am convinced this place is as good as you could find anywhere in the world! read more

Had the pleasure of visiting Pulitzer Bar twice on our trip to Amsterdam. The first time it was accidental and just passed through, to be pleasantly surprised. The second time, we came back because it was so great the first time around. All servers were amazingly attentive and we're constantly checking on our group to make sure there was nothing anything else we needed. The cocktails we're also on point. The setting is nice and relaxing, so it made for an excellent experience overall. The prices were a little high, but then again, it is a nice hotel bar (where it is almost customary now to be overcharged). Would love to visit again when back, and would recommend! read more

Very sexy, cozy hotel bar. Tucked away from the concierge and foyer so you feel like you're in a library nook at Columbia University. The night we visited was a Sunday and it was lively but not loud. Good place for industry to catch a good drink on their night off. Conversations sparked across parties and the overall atmosphere was very friendly. Not as stiff as I was expecting it to be which was a lovely surprise. Could do with a wider selection of whiskey (bourbons and ryes please!) read more

It's nice to see the craft cocktail scene has spread all over the globe and Pulitzer's Bar in Amsterdam is leading the city's charge! The first thing you'll notice about this place is the beautifully designed interior and amazingly framed art. Once you belly up to the bar you're greeted by friendly service and a couple complimentary snacks to much on, always well received. I tried a couple different versions of the classic cocktail, "the gibson" and they were delicious. There's an awesome spirit list and the local gins were beautiful. I asked my bartender for a specific gin and instead, he guided me down a path of ones I'd never sampled before. That's the mark of a great mixologist. Make a stop here if you're looking for some of the best cocktails in Amsterdam. read more

Beautiful bar with cozy rooms for dates, conversations with friends or a friendly board game. The server was extremely friendly and helpful. We only stopped by for drinks (and to get out of the hot humid weather), but it turned into a very nice experience. This bar was air conditioned unlike many establishments in Amsterdam. read more

The Pulitzer's Bar is decorated in beautiful rich tones with comfortable cozy seating and a beautiful bar. The decor is sophisticated but welcoming. I loved the beautiful glassware and the attention the bartenders take to craft a perfect cocktail. The Bar feels like a timeless classic of an old-school Bar. The wait staff was super friendly but not necessarily attentive. The snacks served with your cocktails were yummy. I also tried the Dutch Bitterballen with a selection of (two each)lobster, beef, and cheese. This would be a nice place to chill on a rainy night. www.pulitzersbar.nl read more

I had a lovely evening at Pulitzer's trying their delicious, clever cocktails and chatting to their charming waiters until I paid my bill. He asked me what I wanted to pay, and with this being my first trip to Amsterdam I'd read many blogs on the lack of tipping culture so added an extra 5 euros to the tab. The mood changed instantly. He didn't say another word, took the card machine and left. No "thank you" or "have a nice evening" or "hope you had a nice evening", It was a surprising, well orchestrated and disappointingly tacky way to make a customer feel unwelcome and not good enough. Ghastly experience read more

The Pulitzer Hotel itself is gorgeous and quirky. The bar is no different. Lots of comfortable nooks to curl up in, dark woods, beautiful night time views of the canal. The bartender, Frank, is game for making up cocktails on the fly, is an expert and great guide to classic and genevieve style gins. read more

Everything about this spot was fine, except the bartender. Everyone was waiting, servers were lined up impatiently waiting for their guests' drinks to be made. Servers were going behind the bar and pouring beers, yelling the bartender what was next and generally frustrated. It was a really bad experience...and I just had draft beer. The front of house manager needs to figure that out!!!! read more

This bar ticks all the boxes for me. It's quiet, the service is great, the patrons are classy, and the drinks are lovely. When we visited, they had a Hemingway theme, so if you love Cuban cocktails this is a place for you. They also have reasonably priced food, although we came here from dinner so did not partake. read more

This was my favorite bar in the city--so much so that I went twice in 2 days. There are several seating areas, each with slightly different vibes. Antique furniture, dimly lit with candlelight, books strategically placed. Great service--immediately given complimentary bar snacks and water. Apparently there is also outdoor seating, but we opted for indoors. Highly recommend read more

I recently organized an event with a group of my coworkers and needed to find a local bar for the venue. I saw the great reviews online and decided to give this place a shot. I called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our party and if there would be any issues. They said they don't take reservations but it wouldn't a problem. When our group arrived they came up with new rules that no one could stand in the bar area. Before people arrived they set us up in the hotel hallway next to the bathroom. That part of the "bar" is not shown in the online photos for a reason. It also had no air conditioning during a hot summer night. After I spoke with the management they basically said too bad. They gave a silly reason, saying it was for "safety". Yet we ended up blocking two of the three fire exits. We spent over a thousand Euros in a couple of hours and the main bar was empty, yet we weren't allowed to be in that room that you see in the online photos. The place has pros: Good cocktails (although very pricey) and the actual bar looks very nice with a great atmosphere (not the bathroom hallway). I give this place one star because the staff and management were very rude, gave false information prior to the event, and lied to my face about their "policies" after the event had started. I strongly urge you not to go here with a group. If there are only two of you, maybe it's better; however, the management and staff do not care about service or your experience. There are plenty of good bars in Amsterdam, I suggest going somewhere else. read more

Very swank hotel bar with great ambiance & service, tasty food and drink, and even fun explorations of the rest of the hotel's facilities. The chicken croquettes were perfectly crunchy on the outside yet moist on the inside...the steak tartare was complimented well with the mustard...and the prawn salad was perfectly crisp and juicy as well. read more

Our bartender "Philip" was awesome. Very knowlegeble and passionate about his craft. Excellent cocktails.

The staff is passionate about mixing the best, creative cocktails for you. The environment is cozy and perfect for a rainy evening. The ambiance is conducive for a friendly get together or a business meeting. The menu is stacked with yummy comfort food-the steak should not be overlooked. read more
