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!

I've been visiting KLM Crown Lounge 52 since it first opened its doors years ago, and I remember…read morebeing so impressed by the design and the "wow" factor back then. Unfortunately, as time has gone on, the experience has really started to slide. It's the flagship lounge for KLM's home hub, but honestly, it's becoming a bit embarrassing for the brand. The biggest issue is the overcrowding. It feels more like a busy train station than an exclusive retreat. What's most frustrating is that they have that expensive "Blue" pay-to-eat restaurant taking up a massive chunk of the upper level. It's usually half-empty while everyone else is downstairs cramped together. If they just integrated that space back into the regular lounge area, it would breathe so much life back into the place. As for the food, it's just aggressively average. You'd think a flagship lounge would showcase some high-quality dining, but it feels very "mass production" and lacks any real flavor or variety. Then there's the cleanliness/pest issue. On my last visit, I actually saw a mouse zip across the floor. I know Schiphol has a well-known reputation for a mouse problem because of its location and age, but seeing one in what is supposed to be a "premium" lounge is still a major turn-off. KLM really needs to step it up. Between the crowds, the average snacks, and the uninvited furry guests, it's just not the world-class experience it used to be. They could--and should--do a lot better than this.

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.

Waiting wasn't too bad because two floors below, there were a bunch of loungers by the window so I just took a nap, occasionally checking my position on the waitlist.

They had different kinds of seating and the space was kept clean.

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...
