Make a reservation and leave all your requests at home. Tell the best bartenders what flavours, liquors and combi's you like and they will give you one hell of a perfect cocktail experience.

Make a reservation, since it's the best dutch cocktailbar (Esquire) and #26 of the world. Awesome place to have drinks, just pick from the perfect menu what you like most.

What an awesome speakeasy. Their menu is a view finder which I found pretty sick. And if you are in the mood for something daring try saying 'i like gin, with pepper and a sour base' and voila.

Fancy to the dot! Competes with the best speakeasy bars of NYC. Worth waiting outside to be buzzed in. Bartenders can make anything taste just heavenly.

The first real and authentic Speakeasy in Amsterdam. Make a reservation on the day to be allowed in behind the door...! Great to enjoy during the week, weekends can be crowded.

One of the best speakeasies and not pretentious at all. I love the appeal of knocking on the unmarked door to enter this vibrant, cozy bar. They make a mean Boulevardier.

A definitely upscale, mysterious cocktail place where you could surprise your companionship , here they give you the possibility to discover new drinks and cocktails you thought were not possible! GO!

Great spot for a delicious cocktail. Cozy, quiet, great service and hard to find. Ask for the special gin, citrus and passion fruit cocktail not on the menu
Umut KklMarch 17, 2014
In my opinion the best bar ever... individual recommendations and perfect service, reservations obligatory! Don't miss it!!!
Katerina KuvJanuary 11, 2018
Hidden spot, book a table in advance. Nice selection of cocktails, great atmosphere and amazing bartenders. Super nice, highly recommend

Speakeasy. Assumably the best cocktails; I have to concur! Can spend night after night here. Be sure to text/call them in advance with your reservation and don't forget to bring your wallet ;)

Great speakeasy with delicious cocktails. No sign at door. Original Menu (especially for the 80s kids a great throwback!)

Perfect cocktailbar in the Amsterdam city center. Make sure you have a reservation, or try your luck at the door. The menu is awesome -just like the hospitality-.
Ferdy van BerkelAugust 23, 2018
This bar has set the speakeasy trend in the city. You can enter it through a secret door. One of the best places for a unique cocktail experience. Difficult to get in, so make a reservation.

One of the best speakeasies and not pretentious at all. I love the appeal of knocking on the unmarked door to enter this vibrant, cozy bar. They make a mean Boulevardier.
Martijn WinklerJune 3, 2013
The menu is a treat in itself: great tongue-in-cheek descriptions and artwork. Crazy cocktails! Very hard to make a choice... Luckily they do tailor made as well: describe your preferred taste.
Shan SultanJune 4, 2014
Excellent hidden treasure. Only 2 green lights outside. Ring the door bell. And pray your girl is fine enough for you both to get in.
BellieMarch 1, 2013
The cocktails are amazeballs! Thanks to Timo & his team of excellent shakers. Ask for the 'speculaas' shot, tastes like a Dutch cookie! Not the place to bump into new bff's -, bring your clique.
Timea VeghSeptember 13, 2016
Fantastic cocktails, funky, cozy, dark and intriguing decor. Drinks are like art here. Honest, friendly staff.
Malin BodinMarch 31, 2013
A really nice cocktail bar. There is no sign on the outside so it can be hard to find, but it is there. The cocktails are expensive but they taste awesome. Def worth a visit
Alyssa G.February 10, 2017
Only able to get in by reservation which needs to be made on the same day. Nice high-end cocktails, pricey but worth going for 1 or 2
Cagatay @IstanbulAugust 26, 2016
Gosh, it's heavens for appreciating the effort of that cocktail master! Hats off to such a great place...
RFT ReyesSeptember 24, 2013
The very speakeasy that comes as top-of-mind (and top of Google) when you type speakeasies in Amsterdam. And why not? These are some of the best drinks.. In. The. World. Read more
ReetMay 17, 2013
Amaaazing cocktails - just ask the cute Adam Brody-esque English bartender make all your drinks. And ask for something with hibiscus -- sweet and syrupy goodness!
D MAugust 15, 2015
The best speakeasy in Amsterdam. The drinks are immense, and strong too. You need to text to reserve a table. Highly recommended
Sasha ValleSeptember 21, 2016
I love telling the bartender a gist of what I like and letting them work their magic. Had the best French 75 here 👌🏻
Maria PapDecember 26, 2017
I really loved this hidden place! The atmosphere was amazing and the staff really friendly and helpful. Best coctails in town!

Great hidden spot. Drinks are amazing! Make a reservation in advance. It gets packed.

The bartenders are the best in town, ask them anything... Or even better challenge them to make something unique! They will not let you down
Matthew ScottSeptember 8, 2012
for real speakeasy. tiny window in the door, if they have space you get in. a cocktail of the day while you peruse the menu and a man behind the bar who has a ton of awards and imagination.
Yevgeniya BorissyukMay 2, 2016
Super cool place! Decent design, a tiny dash of an upper posh atmosphere, nicely balanced cocktails. Highly recommend
Giuseppe SpinaJune 28, 2017
Really well concealed and busy little place. Cocktails are all great and constant free snacking while you drink!
Adelia Curtis duarteMarch 20, 2017
Great experimental cocktails. Love their new menu. Best to sit at the bar and watch the drinks being made.
Christine RødeMay 9, 2016
call the day of and leave a message on the answering machine to gain access to delicious cocktails
Gregory BolkenstijnApril 5, 2015
Wow. Hidden. Reservation only. Small. Amazing service. Craftsmanship. Must.
Nastasya JamesonJuly 15, 2016
Hides behind a plain door. Ring a bell to get in. Themes changing every fortnight! Great service, delicious cocktails
Party EarthOctober 26, 2012
Door 74 is low key, and you can only get in by making a reservation from 9am onwards on the day you plan to stop by. Remember to leave your number, too, so they can get back to you for confirmation. Read more

+31(0)6 34 04 51 22 call and leave voicemail (name, number of people, desired time of arrival and phone number). They'll say yes or no. Same day reservation only (up to 12 people).
Rick A.February 2, 2018
Cocktails are good. I had a not so good experience regarding the service. Also you need to make a reservation, especially during weekends. Speakeasy style is almost there but not quite.
Derek HessJanuary 14, 2016
speak easy cocktail bar. Dark surroundings. Great guest bar tenders with an amazing selection of spirits.
BartAugust 17, 2014
Accepts sameday reservations behind a hidden door. The interior is very classy. Nice contrast to the facade which looks like squatters took over
Daniela RemenskaAugust 30, 2014
And oh, there's no sign, it's hidden so you need to ring on the door. But once you enter, it's a whole new world.
Dmitry BokovDecember 14, 2015
One of the best cocktail bars in Amsterdam. 2014 and 2015 worlds 50 best bar listed.
VeraSeptember 9, 2015
Great place! Just describe them what you like and they'll make you a wonderful drink.
Jon EshuijsOctober 7, 2012
Once you found the entrance (no signings at the door) of this private cocktail walhalla, you'll be overwhelmed by the 'underground setting' and its delicious flavors.
Alberto SimonSeptember 20, 2016
Fantastic cocktail bar with awesome bar tenders!

Lucas knows the history of all alcoholic beverages and replied to all my queries.People is very cheerful and happy during their working time.
Mihnea MiculescuMay 13, 2017
Really nice speakeasy that makes a mean Old Fashioned. Book well before noon, on the day.
Saurabh ShahJune 1, 2023
