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.

This atmosphere was absolutely beautiful and intimate. A very lovely place if you wanted to go on a date as well. Clean, organised and just lovely. I would highly recommend and would definitely go back if I have the opportunity. 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!

We are from Virginia which is growing in wine popularity so we've been to our fair share of wineries and wine stores. This place is not like anywhere we've been before. It's underneath Melly's Cookie Bar (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mellys-cookie-bar-amsterdam), meaning you go INTO the Cookie Bar to get to it. 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! I'm taking everyone who visits me here because it is that awesome.
