The staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the shop itself is dingy. The selection is quite small and expensive.

Great little shop. Helpful staff that pointed out some great Dutch IPAs. Also gave us a great tip on 8th Day Greek IPA.

Every time I can't help but to notice the uniquely shaped bottles of liquor in the shape of a shoe, car or gun on display. The bottles aren't exactly the typical brands but they have those also. Inside is warm and inviting. The wooden shelves that hold the bottles and handful of kegs of liquor give the old world touch, it reminds me of the charm of much of Amsterdam's old pubs. I am just looking around but I already know what I want. The lady who is managing the store is talking on the phone but when she saw me come in, she got off and took the time to address my inquiries. She was so pleasant. I apologized for intruding on her conversation and with a smile she said no problem. She explained the different versions of Absinthe, as that was I was in the market for here. Grabbed a bottle for 20euros as a gift. There are larger bottles that are pricier. Packaging is just paper, nothing fancy. For this business in term of it's age, friendly staff and uniqueness, I walked away with something I can give that is not run of the mill.

I don't really like to drink much since I'm a light weight, but my friends do. We went over here to purchase some prosecco and sweet wine, so we can enjoy them before hitting the clubs. Most of the bottles here cost under 5 Euro which cost as much as a small glass of wine at a bar, so you are really saving money. This location is also conveniently located under Albert Heijn Market which is a a perfect stop to grab cheeses, grapes and crackers to compliment your delicious wine.

I gave the scotch away though. Too peaty for me. All in all a very cool place to hang out. If I had longer time in the city, I would've returned for sure.

This is not the case though. The shop unlike a few others concentrates solely on wine. Also, since the store is not overly large they seem to dedicate their stock to wines they enjoy or find interesting. When I was there the guy working had a good knowledge of his stock and we agreed on a few bottles for me to try. Both the bottles I bought were good if not great and the prices were just around €10 a bottle. Certainly a better selection than your average wine section in the grocery.

It is from Australia and is made from spicy Shiraz grapes which I really like! Other actions which is note worthy: - Winetastings which you really should give it a try! - Before you buy any wine, you can ask whether you try the wine at their bar!

We expected lunch, since we were at Animecon and it seemed to be an area for a large restaurant (like a mess room) so at first I was taken aback by the small portions.

I think our expectations might have been too high as well. It's a Japanese styled con, so we expected very good Japanese cuisine. As it was good, it wasn't very special. We might return some day to taste the sake's, but I thought it was a little too early at noon for this ;)
