    Absolute top place, one of the best in Europe. Countless speciality ingredients, rigorous care in mixing and angelic, reliable, friendly stuff. I have been 2x in one week and will be back soon.

    Great cocktail bar! It is hard to find good cocktail bar on Amsterdam and HPS is definitely one of the best. Ask for genever martinez if you want a cocktail based on local spirit

    Went there early (before dinner, ~8:30 PM) and had no trouble scoring a place at the bar. The friendly and knowledgable staff made us feel welcome and at home. Absolute recommendation for cocktails.

    Fav bar in Amsterdam. Email for reservations. Walking dead is great to split with a friend for a treat. The Thai basil smash is perfect for summer nights, while their old fashioneds will keep you warm

    Best cocktailbar in Amsterdam and probably the best in the world. They don't serve beer and wine, because their cocktails are awesome. Go by, sit at the bar and enjoy!

    You should definitely try the Hacker's Delight (smoky mezcal & slightly bitter and herbal maté). Friendly staff, although the bar conversation feels a bit forced. Quick to make the cocktails.

    Really great place and people. Their cocktails are just amazing (high price but it really worth it). Make a reservation because it's quickly full!

    Reserve a table and go here for sure if you get the change. Try to go on a weekday, it won't be so busy and you'll get to talk to the amazing staff.

    Hello to the best cocktails in town. Be warned: late evening cocktails are so precious in this city that you may be looking to book in advance. 101% worth it.

    Must make a reservation before going- you can't get a drink there otherwise - and drinks are not cheap but worth it. Try the plum syrup cocktail lovely

    The cocktails are amazing. I suggest the house old fashioned or the sideburn- both were delicious.

    Creative and unique menus. They dare what no one else had thought off! Plus sometimes a small jazz combo playing live music. Very cozy.

    Classy and classic drinks with a modern twist in a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. In slow times sit at the bar for a good chat.

    Feeling brave? Try the Walking Dead cocktail - easily the strongest cocktail I've ever had.
