Since it's my favorite place, I looked it up on maps and saved it. When I was there a month or so later, I was riding my bike in the afternoon and saw someone sitting near the front window working on his MacBook with a nice glass or white wine. I immediately slammed the brakes and parked my bike! Fortunately I had my MacBook so I could get some work done and drink some great wine at 4 PM (16:00 hours). Bottom line is you simply purchase a 20-30 euro card (or whatever you want) when you get there and can just choose from any wine in the restaurant. It's awesome. The notable thing is, the bartenders are wonderful and very helpful. They don't just let you fend for yourself, they assist you, give you advice, even free samples! Awesome place. Also, great food too! Try the oysters! They have bitterballen (of course) all day - then dinner and food all night. My favorite dinner place in Overtoom. Don't be afraid as I was the first time - when it was really crowded. Friendly and warm place - gezellig!

This atmosphere was absolutely beautiful and intimate. A very lovely place if you wanted to go on a date as well. Clean, organised and just lovely. I would highly recommend and would definitely go back if I have the opportunity. At first, you might think it's a little sketchy because it is downstairs but it's only to give you the maximum privacy in a church not to mention!! Remember that these visits are personalised, I'm honestly so happy I found this place and I had a perfect time. You are also not restricted to spending just one hour as per your reservation, there's ample time to lounge and talk. This was great, please go experience!

We are from Virginia which is growing in wine popularity so we've been to our fair share of wineries and wine stores. This place is not like anywhere we've been before. It's underneath Melly's Cookie Bar (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mellys-cookie-bar-amsterdam), meaning you go INTO the Cookie Bar to get to it. But once downstairs you are in a whole different world of coziness and wine with a man (José) who knows his stuff! He is super friendly, but professional and helpful and just wants to find you a wine you will love! I dare you to go here and not love it! I'm taking everyone who visits me here because it is that awesome.

The chicken was juicy and vegetables were tasty. The cheese board was huge with a nice selection of cheese. The pretzels were hot and buttery .

I jokingly asked for more wine in the glass and that's exactly what I got. The selection isn't very big, but what's on offer will make you happy. I went with an Italian red that was a nice precursor to the spicy Indian dinner that was about to come my way. The interior is huge. They have a few photos on the wall that try to give a more risqué ambience but considering the clientele (largely kids and locals) the posters just kinda stick out. All in all, a welcome spot as long as they don't make walking on the sidewalk up front difficult during the warmer months.

Bartender was amazing - played a ton of his own music, which was off the charts. My new husband and I had an amazing time. Patio on the canal was as fantastic as other reviews mention. Beer selection was solid, regionally representative and decently priced. We drank mostly beer, but the shot pours were generous. Spent the better part of my one day in Amsterdam shooting the shit with the bartender or watching the boats go by on the patio: couldn't be happier with my choice. Side note: Bathroom reminded me of home in New York City: clean, well serviced and absolutely floor to ceiling graffiti. Which I love.
