    Stumbled across this lovely old building while ambling around old Amsterdam.
    Went in for a drink, but the food also looked good.
    It was beautifully decorated for Christmas.
    Will return the next time I’m in town.

    We went as much to tick it off the bucket list as much as anything and with open minds.

    The participants were attractive but looked so bored. It did nothing for us. Have seen porn with some good story telling which was more exciting.

    Ok perhaps for a stag do but not for us

    We tried a few smoking places in the short amount of time we were in Amsterdam, and this was by far the best. They serve both alcohol and coffee, and contrary to other reviews on here, we did not experience any threatening tones or hovering of staff attempting to stop us using baccy, in fact they explained the situation very warmly to us and pretty much left us to it. Other smoking bars will push you to buy drinks every half an hour, or won't serve coffee or will annoy you in some other way, the staff at Hill Street Blues simply won't. There may well be somewhere better than we didn't get the chance to discover, but stopped in at least 7 places for a smoke and this was our favourite by a very long way.

    When you go online looking for places to visit this place pops up a lot. The bulldog shops are next to each other in this particular location, they offer the options of drinking and smoking etc. We chilled for a bit here, a had a whole drink spilled on me by accident by one of the staff members, i'm pretty easy going and didn't kick up a fuss, however I would have expected an apology and at least one drink to rectify the accident, but nothing really. It's decorated nice and fun, staff are still friendly, I think we expecting something exceptional and it ironically left a forgettable experience here.. wouldn't have a problem going back here we still enjoyed our drinks here and is in a good location too.

    Today marked our visit to the old sailors in Amsterdam, an experience that, despite our non-local status, felt remarkably like a home away from home. We gravitated towards the familiarity of the same window seat, affording us a unique view of the bustling activity on the streets, particularly the intriguing comings and goings of the girls in the windows. The atmosphere in the bar was vibrant and boisterous, with the air filled with the lively sounds of Dutch music – a fitting backdrop for our time in Holland. In summary, the evening unfolded as a delightful and memorable adventure in the heart of the red light district, leaving us with a collection of fond memories.

    With an opulent deep red decor, a gold ceiling with starry lights, and a classic view over Dam Square…. Add in exceptional cocktails … and the result is a fantastic luxury bar…. Perfect venue for pre dinner drinks. Absolutely loved this place and would recommend it 100%

    Great cocktails. Great bartender. Great ambiance. I went solo and hung out and had a great time chatting with the bartender and other guests. I ordered three cocktails - all delicious. The third was bartender's choice. I told him what I enjoy and he made a fantastic cocktail. Brisket Biterballen were delicious. Highly Recommend.

    A fantastic bar mainly for whisky but has so many other drinks like wines, beers and cocktails. Michael, his wife and the whole team is super attentive and knowledgeable. They're also really fun and nice people which makes the whole experience fantastic. I went there just for a dram or two but ended up trying a bunch of whiskies and stayed for 3 hours! I highly recommend this place if you're a whisky fan and if not definitely go check it out for a drink or two as it won't disappoint. Cheers!

    Found this little gem by chance as we wanted something off the beaten track.

    We opted for 3 starters to share; kalimari, humus and bitterballen. I wanted to try bitterballen, not to my taste; a bit like a croquet with mushy potatoes and swishy meat. The others were lovely.

    Service was good too snd food wasn’t that expensive.

    very relaxed place. The atmosphere was really impressive. The drinks weren't the best but still good enough to try couple of times. WC needs some improvement :)

    Decent little bar in the heart of the city. Music, sport and a good atmosphere. A good late night spot in Amsterdam that stays open late.

    Cute lovely and cute again. Just an old fashioned pub with wonderful history. Small interior, but big atmosphere. Highly recommended.

    During our 3 days in town we had a few drinks in this pub everyday. Great prices, good for people watching. Met some great characters. The lady serving on the bar was a great host.

    Prices are very good too.

    Next time we are in town we will be sure to visit,
