    Love the intimacy of this place. Looks like the place handles no more than 20 people. There is bar seating and several 2 seaters from what I remembered. Nice place for a date. My cocktail bartender, Mathew, was a delight. He was very attentive and shared a short intro of the menu theme. Recommend the Vieux Carre as it's a classic. Cheers

    Holy smokes! This bar was seriously one of the best I've been to in my life! I saw the Yelp five stars when I recently visited Amsterdam and was intrigued. My group and I showed up unannounced and rang their bell to be let inside. We were sad to hear that we couldn't enter without a reservation but we checked and saw that they had an opening for the next day so we booked it! When I say we booked it, I mean there is a 10€ deposit per person in order to book a reservation. This money is then applied to your final balance. I loved the sleek speakeasy feel of this bar. The staff were all friendly and talented. The selection was off the chart! I say this because I was able to enjoy Pappy Van Winkle 12 AND 23! The bourbon selection was magnificent. They also had a great selection of bar food that complimented the drinks. I cannot speak highly enough of this spot and I recommend you check it out without delay!

    Margarita and Mojito, cool vibe, smooth music.

    Mad Props from American travelers, hundred percent recommend fellow peeps seeking a tasty drink and a true Ámsterdam ambiance experience. Service was great!

    Quaint speakeasy style cocktail bar with friendly waitstaff and a unique menu! Their spring/summer menu is a play on flavors where they tell you what the drink should taste like without actually using that ingredient (ie their banana drink is a rum based drink with no bananas in it). Note that its a very place maybe 20 people max so be prepared to wait during peak times!

    Walking by on the street and the warm, amber colored lights caught my attention. I peered in the window and I was so pleased to see ... a BAR! Sharp dressed bartender and a host welcomed us in with VERY friendly smile. Luckily there was one table left. I think I would have been heart broken if I could not have sampled the work of these fine gentlemen. We were shown a comfortable spot in the back but that makes it sound big ... it is not. Maybe 8 small tables and few seats at the bar. The menu had Dutch inspired cocktails so we proceeded to let our host drive us to a decision. My girlfriend selected a tart, vodka based drink that looked close to cosmopolitan but had more lemon aftertaste and a pretty egg white foam and a tiny edible flower on top. I had a Jenever Old Fashioned using the Dutch local alcohol. Wow! Please go!

    This was an awesome experience. Lucas and Jadon the bartenders were great at explaining the menu. The menu doesn't have specific "drinks" instead they have various taste descriptions and you are able to choose what suits your taste accordingly. I had a drink with a smoky taste and Lucas actually smoked it in a large glass container. It was delicious!

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.

During my favorite visits, the bartenders explain each drink you order as they serve it and tell you the story. Every drink has a story. Sometimes they are busy or not interested and you don't get the story. I wouldn't have noticed that the drink tastes like a salad, and not in the bad way, had the bartender not told me the story. A couple of times I asked if they have merch for sale and one time they had pins which I bought. The next time I came, they were out of both pins and shirts. Bummer. I recommend a visit when you're looking for a cool place in Amsterdam, especially when you are staying at the hotel.

The decor was very nice as well. I didn't try any food there. Now it comes to the important part of the review. It's all about the cocktails. I got the Beeswax Old Fashioned(17 Euros).It was very good and a nice twist on an old fashioned. My second drink was the Paradiso Manhattan(17 Euros) and it was a tasty cocktail with something extra. It came with a piece of chocolate that was made with mushroom powder. They paired well together. I can't give it five stars for one reason. The drinks were very good,but they were a little weak. I felt very little to nothing after my second drink. I'm not a big drinker and I have a low tolerance for alcohol. The drinks need to be a little stronger. More of a kick to them. I would still recommend Super Lyan to anyone that has the pleasure of visiting Amsterdam on holiday.

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).

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.

We ordered beef bitterballen to try this traditional Dutch comfort food. Meanwhile, my husband ordered their signature cocktail called "Beurre Noisette" old fashioned and I ordered a Dutch Negroni (Negronis are my favorite drink to order wherever I go). Both were delicious! Meanwhile, we chatted with Iago the bartender, and Lily the manager. We learned more about Amsterdam and why so many people come here from elsewhere in Europe to work. Iago was super fun to talk to. He'd lived in Amsterdam for 7 years and It was only his first week here at NJoy. He was skilled as a bartender, being able to mix fabulous cocktails and also hold an interesting conversation at the same time. We'd go back just to be able to talk with him again, such a friendly bartender, very attentive, and professional. The beef bitterballen was so hot we had to wait a bit to try it. It comes with savory mustard that is better than any mustard I've tried before. Not sure why. The bitterballen were crispy fried with beef ragú inside. I'm not a fan myself but am glad I tried it.

Apple Maps told me we were less than 1/2 mile away so we headed over there. Located just off a canal on a pedestrian walkway basically at the start of the Red Light District, we arrived soon after they opened and got a nice table near the bar. Forget ordering what you usually drink- the menu has dozens of concoctions most of which looked real good. I ordered a "T&S Old Fashion and my wife had "The Girl Next Door". Both were drink types we usually don't order but we loved them enough to order another round. Speaking of the menu-it's pretty entertaining besides all the drink choices. Also entertaining was watching the bartenders making the drinks with a huge flair of showmanship. Music tracks were great as well. Could have just stayed to listen to the music. The food options looked tasty as well but we were still full from lunch so we just opted to drink. By the time we left, Tales was pretty full. A fun place to come back to and recommend to friends.

I would definitely recommend for a cocktail before/after dinner or if you're looking for some appetizers/small plates. Great spot.
