I've been to this bar a bunch of times, each time growing increasingly underwhelmed. There's not too many cocktail bars in Amsterdam and this one is in my neighborhood, so I gave it a few tries. The cocktails are nice but expensive, the menu is gimmicky and the interior is so so. The biggest problem with this place is the service.
Some of the bar tenders are real bros, and yesterday I left with my gf because they were downright rude. We come in, I sit down and my gf walks up to the bar and asks if she can take one of the menus on the bar. The guy snaps at her "sit down I will come by in a minute." (Extra surprising is that she asks this in Dutch but we only get responses from this Dutch guy in English.) We're a little taken aback but have a seat. Then the guy comes by two minutes later and starts off with "Are you guys in a rush or something?" We say we aren't but that we thought we could take a menu with us while we sat down. I say I think it's a bit of a strange comment to make, and instead of apologizing he just starts rattling on about how we need to wait and that he's busy. That's when we leave. I'm sorry, not paying 15 euros for a drink with this attitude. read more
