This place is a vibe, and the bartender, Juno, is HOT like fire…read more My partner and I stopped in to Skyy Bar Amsterdam last winter when we were passing through town and were impressed to see this bar in action. We went on an evening when it was NOT packed, so it was easy to snag a seat at the bar. This place is a treat for the eyes. There are a lot of interior design touches that make it fun to look around and spot cool things/touches like the back wall of the bar and the lighted ceiling display. The upstairs was closed the evening we visited, but the manager allowed us to go up and take a few photos, which was kind. Speaking of the staff...the manager moves quickly, and will absolutely recognize new patrons (this isn't the type of place where you'll be casually ignored all night) There's a live DJ spinning in the corner, and he was pretty legit. The star of this review, however, is the super-hot bartender, Juno. There's an extensive list of drinks at this place, but my partner and I decided to order off-menu, asking Juno for an Old Fashioned. She was so cute. Her eyes lit up, she smiled a little, and walked away to prepare our drinks. When she came back a few minutes later with our drinks (they were truly beautiful and she'd even rimmed the glass with an twisted orange peel) she THANKED US for giving her "a real drink to make." We'd only planned to have the one drink and move on, but Juno's drinks were do damn good we decided to have another round and a shot for the road. Both my imagination and my immediate girl-crush deluded me into thinking Juno winked at me as I paid the bill and she said, "Do come back." But I'm here for the delusion and will always giggle to myself when I think of Juno's smile...and wink!

Solid 3.5 stars, but I'll round up for the friendliness of the bartenders. Like many have said, the…read morelounge is pretty large and we had to walk around quite a bit before finding the bar with the liquor (not just the wine and beer). Food was ok (during the breakfast hours) nothing too special, especially for a business class lounge. It definitely does not come close to the Delta One lounge in LAX, as far as food quality, variety, and service. Even though the lounge had been open for about 2 hours, not everything was out or ready to be used. Many of the employees were friendly, though we came across one who seemed angry at the world! Not even close to the best lounge I've been to, but also not the worst (kind of similar to my experience in KLM business class). Not a glowing endorsement, I know, but still better than no lounge!

I know, not very adventurous but when you've been traveling and you're so tired you can barely think, an easy choice just works. It was tasty and filling. On a different night I tried the Spinach Gnocchi and a Mixed Green Salad and it really hit the spot. The gnocchi was delicious and prepared just right. They have a good selection of beers,wines and cocktails as well.

It is a trendy yet inviting bar that not only serves refreshing drinks but also has a full menu of food. After a long day, I came in to grab a quick bite and a cold drink to refresh and restore my senses. I decided to go with the club Manhattan since I wanted something fast yet tasty. This sandwich was huge!!! It has chicken, bacon, tomato, iceberg lettuce, and is topped with a fried egg. It boasts a creamy house sauce called the Manhattan sauce, which is rich and spicy all at once. The sandwich is served with a side of fries. The chicken had hints of curry giving the sandwich a welcoming bold and robust taste. The fries were crispy and golden to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised with the complexity of this sandwich meant to be basic. I accompanied my sandwich with what else, but a Manhattan. It was a little too dry for my taste given the vermouth to whiskey ratio. The second round they tweaked it just a tad to my taste and I was good to go! The service was impeccable and only enhanced the experience.

Aspire Lounge needs to aspire. It's just Ok, or "good enough" to pass the time. The contract lounge…read moreis too small and can easily be filled to capacity. I gained entry because of Star Alliance and EVA, but it is a hefty walk from the G gates. If you want to give Aspire a try and your plane departs from F or G, give yourself 15 minutes even if using the moving sidewalks. Luckily the last two times in Aspire I was able to grab at small table by the windows. Tip 1: Watch who is getting ready to leave. Tip 2: Electrical outlets are hidden under the windows near the floor, and you will get on your hands and knees to find them and plug in. Hot food is Indonesian inspired, and was meh. Pretty bland for Indonesian, but maybe that's the typical guest palate. I thought the mushroom cream soup was really good and I went back for seconds. One beer is on tap, the rest are bottled. Wine was really cheap generic Spanish red and white. Basic liquor was available and all beverages were self-serve. Table bus and clean staff were good and made frequent rounds. Aspire makes me curious if the One World lounge which shares the entrance is the same or better or worse. Maybe a Yelper knows.

It took me about 15 minutes to walk to the lounge and another 20 minutes to get from the lounge to my gate, so plan on losing 35-40 minutes just walking. Once inside, though, it was comfortable and a nice place to relax. The food selection was just okay, but there were decent drink options, including a self-service bar where you can make your own cocktails. I also appreciated the ice cream station, which was a nice touch. Overall, it's a pleasant lounge experience--just be sure to allow extra time if your gate is in the non-Schengen area.

The food options are mainly cold cut cheeses and meats, with limited options for greens. The hot food only had a few options as well. The sweets section was impressve though, with all sorts of candies and sweet pastries. The atmosphere is quite nice as there is a good number of seats with a calm vibe maintained throughout the lounge.

This is a paid for airport lounge at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol…read more This lounge is situated between departure area 1 and 2. The interior is modern and perhaps a bit futuristic, a lot of white shiny surfaces but still warm and inviting due to brown fabrics, fake fireplace, etc... The lounge provides an excellent way to relax before a flight. The Food and Beverage offerings change through the day to match with people's needs for the particular time of day. Their is usually soup, warm savoury snacks, cheeses, fresh olives, two types of salads, fresh bread buns, cheese, meat, etc. At certain times of the day there are also nice sweet offerings, like macaroons, chocolate cake, etc. The products on offer are always of good quality and are tasty. The fizzy drinks are nicely presented in small bottles (no no 'post mix' taps) in fridges and I have never seen an empty fridge. I'm not much of a wine drinker so I can't comment on the choice of wines nor about their quality. There is a good WIFI connection, downloading a tv show from iTunes doesn't take very long (though the speed will obviously vary). Toilets are clean, one very spacious near the end of the lounge and smaller ones near the entrance. A nice enough selection of magazines and international newspapers. The lounge offers speedy border passage with their dedicated security lanes (they can be a lifesaver) for both Schengen countries as non-Schengen countries (iris scan). All in all, if you travel regularly through Schiphol this lounge offers good value! There are extra services for car owners who want to park as close to the runway as possible. As I don't have a car I can't comment on those...
