Bar Rouge in Grachtengordel-Zuid

We love Reggie. Top service, he created such a great atmosphere and we enjoyed it!

Rejinis AMAZING! So sweet and helpful

I had a really nice experience here, the food was great! The staff were also super friendly! Marciano helped me well.

Such a good place! Loved it we will come back!

Came here with the idea that there were many shows of beautiful women, unfortunately this was not the case

Elaisha was great. Had a nice evening.

We had a super fun evening! The atmosphere was great and Regi really made our evening complete 🩷

Regi was a real star and helped us out really well. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere was also very pleasant!

I was given a free shot for the review but it didn’t s a great dinner experience food was good quality and the entertainment was excellent

Had a really good night. Great for a little date night. Fun performances, great food (wings were fire) Amazing drinks (the amaretto sour and rouge mule made by Anni were incredible) Deffo worth doing on a night out in Amsterdam

Fantastic place, food is executive and reasonably priced! Atmosphere is excellent with live dancers and music! Highly recommend for couples and a romantic evening.

Annika was so amazing at bartending.

Monday is a sweet deal. First class sushi and fair priced cocktail. Leanna was lovely, and the place has vibe!

We had a delicious meal. Upon arrival, we received good service regarding the options and the special of the day. The food was truly top-notch, very tasty sushi and truffle fries. The atmosphere was also really cozy with the DJ.

Weird place. You mention that something bad came up, and they just react very cowardly: no, we can't do anything for you, you've lost the money.

The atmosphere was superb! We really enjoyed our selves and the vibes were exquisite! We had a blast and will definitely be coming back!

Top experience, fun and super friendly staff, top DJ and amazing singer and dancers! It's a whole vibe.

Absolutely fantastic! Great music and a delicious meal. I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is amazing; the team creates a great vibe in the room.

The food was very tasty and you got enough to share. The atmosphere was also very good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a really great experience at Bar Rouge Amsterdam. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the live entertainment made the whole evening feel special. The performances created such a fun and energetic vibe, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It’s definitely a great place for a date night, celebration, or a night out with friends. I would definitely recommend Bar Rouge if you’re looking for good food, great entertainment and a unique atmosphere in Amsterdam.

Anni was great, really enjoyed this restaurant!

Highly recommended, great atmosphere, nice girls serving 🩷

Amazing place wow, and what a supper service . We sure we come often

Such a fun thing to do in the city when you want to spice up a dinner experience! Elaisha took amazing care of us

Elaisha took great care of us! In the heart of the city and a great experience to have when you want to try a unique night out.

Had a great time with my boyfriend. Everyone was super friendly and the performances were really good. If you’re looking for a fun night out with music and a vibe, this is the spot.

Elaisha was super hospitable, highly recommended!!

Super Kind Service. Cocktails and wine are great, extraordinary experience. Must tryyy!!!

Service is very slow; I was only able to order a drink and food once in 50 minutes. The food portions are small. You go home hungry. Ordered a bottle of Cava that took at least 30 minutes to arrive at the table. It was then placed on the sofa instead of the table.... Very peculiar. Very disappointed.

Bar Rouge far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed incredibly warmly, and the service was excellent throughout the evening. A big compliment to the entire team for their hospitality. The atmosphere was fantastic, and everything was taken care of down to the last detail. This is absolutely a place we would love to return to. We therefore recommend Bar Rouge to anyone looking for a special night out.

Pau was a lovely Spanish little boy who gave us great service.

i loved the atmosphere Pau brought to the night! lovely service and food, will be back :)

What a great place we really enjoyed it and the artists are awesome. Specially Som. We had a blast

Had a great meal and a fun, enjoyable evening too! Highly recommended!

Had a really fun evening with my friends.

Delicious food with good service. Highly recommended!

We arrived for a birthday around 7 o'clock, waiting for the “shows”. We waited for about an hour (no DJ in the meantime or anything like that), and then a lady came to sing. This lasted 5 minutes and then the party was over. After an hour, there was another 5-minute show; the gift had been forgotten after asking a few times. While filming, an employee forcefully grabbed my phone to film even though I did not want this. I found this very disrespectful. As for the food, the price-quality ratio was completely out of proportion. All in all, not worth repeating.

Great experience highly reccomend

The food was amazing! As was the service, the female manager Alaysha (if I spell it right) was a very nice friendly girl, she gave us wonderful recommendations for shots! And her vibe was just ON! The shows were very enjoyable and the whole night was perfect! ❤️ (Former review posted on wrong google-account, this one has better reach 😉)

i’ll be coming back, reggie’s service was amazing

Super fun, great atmosphere and great staff especially regy

Service from Reggy was 10/10!!!!!

The service was well below average. It took ages for them to bring a drinks menu over and then even longer to order anything from them. When we ordered, we could see our bottle of wine sitting on the side for 25 minutes. The waiting staff just kept walking past it and honestly they were doing nothing. When they brought out food over we asked for our wine and told them we could just see it sitting there. Also had to remind them we’d ordered a bottle of water. The food was well below average and portions were tiny. The dj and the performances were good.

Went to bar rouge thinking it would be a fun evening out, however the service quickly set the tone of the evening, we arrived and they were slow to take our order, we then ordered a bottle of wine which we could see was just sat on the side for 25 minutes, staff walked past it and ignored it, we didn’t get it until we chased someone, drinks, starters and mains were all brought out together. The shows were enjoyable and around every 30 mins, food was ok, but overall wouldn’t return

The shows were really nice however we were expecting the food to be so much better (it was honestly mid) and the DJ was VERY bad. He really doesn’t know how to mix which made the music really weird and not pleasant to listen and vibe to.

Vincenzo helped us really wel and the service was perfect.

Really nice place. Good DJ, cozy atmosphere. Friendly service. Honour mentioning to Vincenzo. Definitely stop by!

I really had the best day of my life at Barrouge and the Moroccan guys serving were really super hospitable and helpful.

Nice restaurant. I was curious given the negative reviews, and my reservation had previously been cancelled without warning. Now everything went smoothly. Friendly staff, nice decor in the restaurant, and the service was good. The food is fine, though not amazing in terms of taste sensation. There are two entertainment moments during the evening. It's a nice way to spend the evening cooking. As for the restrooms, there are two toilets for everyone. So that involves a bit of a wait. Apparently, it is the hotspot for many women (groups). You don't notice it otherwise, though; the DJ drowns out all the sound inside. So you can't always understand each other. Did you eat a lot and well for this price? Well... you are also paying for the location and entertainment, among other things. A fine experience for a change.

The sushi was really good especially the special. Reggie was a very nice waiter.

Good food, good ambience! Reggie was our server for the night. So funny and sweet, had the best recommendations of the menu. Deff worth a visit!!

Reggie was amazing as a server so nice and helpful. Great sushi and a girls night out on Mondays.

The service is extremely bad 👎🏼 Orders are delayed, the place is empty, and the staff are rude 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

The place is undoubtedly special. The food leaves much to be desired; it was sushi night, and everything was cold, tasted like old fish, and was awful. Not to mention they were tiny; I think they simply cut 3 normal sushi pieces and made 6. I can't describe how bad it was.

I'm only writing a review now, but I was here for Valentine's Day. I had really been looking forward to it; they were having a Valentine's Special evening. They were also teasing it extensively on Instagram. So expectations were high. Upon arrival, we were 5 minutes early. We were standing outside, but "our table wasn't ready yet, because you're too early." I was wearing a dress and heels myself (because it was date night) and it was very cold, around freezing point. After asking and consulting with the staff inside, we were actually allowed to wait inside instead of outside. Once inside, apart from the quality of the coffee—which was top-notch—everything was disappointing. The entertainment was of a low standard. Orders were not taken (we had to approach waitstaff ourselves every time for drinks/food). The main course came first, after which the starter was placed on the table "alongside" it. Chaotic and inhospitable. Our date night was fun because we are in love. Not because of what Bar Rouge offered. Very disappointing. Especially for the price. Not recommended!

I have never been someone who leaves reviews, positive or negative, but this place deserves an exception. The sushi was underwhelming at best. I have had better from a local supermarket. Paying €55 for a few pieces is hard to justify when the quality simply is not there. Even the oysters lacked freshness and did not have that clean, briny taste you would expect. The service did not help either. Drinks took an unusually long time to arrive, and the overall pace was very slow. Overall, overpriced, disappointing food and sluggish service. Not worth it.

The “fresh” tuna tasted like it had been marinating in low tide and broken dreams.

The show and the interior is very beautiful and exciting! A special experience in Amsterdam. The service, however, spoiled our overall impression, sadly. We ordered a set menu. But ended up getting only the starter in over 2 hours that we were there. The main course and the desert were never brought. At some point the waiter came and cleaned only one half of the table! He then followed by bringing the dish only for my partner and not for me. Two minutes later he came back saying that he brought the dish by mistake and took it away. After the long wait, the correct dish never arrived. At 22.00 the DJ started blasting incredibly loud cheap party music (like 50 Cent and Sean Paul) which is fine in itself for a bar on Leidseplein but doesn’t really match the described vibe of a Parisian burlesque, besides it was a bit unexpected for the dinner setting. I didn’t feel like waiting any longer for the main course in this atmosphere and decided to leave to buy some food at the night store as we were still hungry after paying 100 euro + entry ticket of 20 for 2 people. Would advice to work on the service, as the place itself and the concept are really great!

Souhail is the Best server. He gavé us a gréât night.

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience. The rice in the sushi was truly awful and hard, even though you pay a lot of money for it. We had to send the bill back three times because it listed something we hadn't ordered. We also had to wait 20 minutes for our coats. Very disappointing. Regarding your response: I see a whole lot of text and not a single apology. If you are training staff and everything goes wrong, you cannot charge these prices. Lots of excuses, taking little responsibility for the poor service.

Absolutely appalled by the poor service we had. Despite us being the second group of people to sit at the table it took 2 hrs to bring out 4 of the 5 meals we had ordered. The meals weren’t even brought out together, lots of questioning where our food and drinks were to which the waitress was very rude and not a single apology. The portion sizes were small, average in taste and very overpriced. There’s much better places to eat out and better value for money.

On arrival we were the second table to be seated, our drinks order was taken. Every other table seated at this stage managed to get their drinks and started with their food orders before we had even received our drinks (bare in mind we ordered 5 cocktails and a 130 euro bottle of champagne). After 40 minutes and asking where our drinks were they finally arrived. On ordering food, we had starters which came out in dribs and drabs, not all at the same time. Then the first show started. Performance was incredible but all food service came to a hault. Leaving us without all of our starters for the group, meaning we didn't all eat together and enjoy our food. Mains were then ordered after flagging the waitress as she attended every other table bar ours, who then took our order but must have forgotten to add all of our meals to our table order. One meal arrived and after another 30 minutes of waiting and asking again where our food was 3 more meals were brought out. A second performer came out (again incredible performance) but yet again, all food orders were suspended meaning 4 of our party had now eaten their food leaving 1 member of our party without food. We queried where our last meal was to which they said they served it on the first person's plate (un-true as we had pictures of the meal, and WHO serves 2 peoples meals on the same plate?!!!). When asking the waitress if we could speak to management, she argued with us that she had done her job and all the meals had been served and we were not treated differently to every other person within the establishment. We asked again for the manager who then came out. They said again that 2 peoples meals were served on 1 plate. We showed evidence and still we were shut down. We all left deflated, disappointed and one of our party was not fed. They then miraculously appeared with our friends food, at this stage she was too upset to even eat it. The manager then said atleast try the food. We were the only British within the setting and we were treated poorly in comparison to every other person within the building. When paying for the bill we asked if we could all pay our separate amounts to which we were huffed and puffed and and looked down upon. Between the 5 people we had in our group we spend a fortune, yet we're treated like we did not belong. Utterly disappointed and would recommend that waiting staff are trained up with some better customer service skills. If I could give no stars for service we received thats what they staff would be getting. On a positive note the ladies performing were completely and utterly mesmerising and were the highligh of the entirety we were there.

What an amazing night! What started as a boring night, quickly turned into an unforgettable moment thanks to the servers!

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience at Bar Rouge. The food was very disappointing – the sushi rice was hard and therefore not tasty. The espresso martini was also very watery and lacked flavor. Additionally, the bill was incorrect several times. We had to send it back three times because something was wrong with it every time. In the end, the only explanation we received was that it was busy and that someone had gone home sick. It is understandable that things can be hectic sometimes, but unfortunately, this did not improve the experience. All in all, the visit was disappointing, and I would not be returning here anytime soon.

Ate here with girlfriends 2 weeks ago. I have never experienced such chaotic and terrible service. Too many unnecessary mistakes were made, and then they acted as if we were whining and couldn't be satisfied. Drinks took a long time; the food was fine, but again, due to the service and very poor communication, the experience was simply bad. The entertainment is fun, the music was good, it is an experience, but the food and the service just make it downright bad. It is a huge shame because it is a nice and good concept. It would be great if something were done about it, given the many similar bad reviews.

Food was good but very disappointing because of only 2 short shows, not worth the price

Vincenzo’s margaritas are amazing

It’s a very nuce location for dinner and a show, I was expecting the space to be bigger but everything was really nice. The service is good, the personal is nice and polite and thevshiw was great

The service is really poorly organized. It takes a long time to get your order, but you do have to stick to a specific time slot. Furthermore, the food isn't anything special either. I will never come here again.

How can you charge €13 for 2x tap water 😂 Very strange to see on the bill afterwards.

Perfecto. Vincenzo and Elaisha are perfect! The best!

What a terrible place/staff. We were a group of 4 and arrived well on time. You get 2 hours to eat and after that you have to leave immediately. We had reserved for 19:00 and at 19:30 we received our first course. After this there were 2 shows, and because of this we didn't receive our second course until 20:20. We hadn't even finished the second course yet when at 20:35 our third course was already shoved onto the table. After 10 minutes, the waitress came to let us know that they were going to do the last round of drinks for our table (no problem, but it all felt very rushed). At 20:55 another waitress came to our table to say: ‘I have the bill here for now, and I am giving you your 4th course to go because you weren't here on time and there is no time left to serve it at this moment.’ Naturally, we did not agree to this, since apparently we have to eat 3 courses in 40 minutes. Finally, after a whole lot of sighing and groaning, we received the 4th course (which was literally nothing, as it wasn't even a single bite), eventually got the bill, and also had to pay €9.50 per person for the show (which is not mentioned anywhere on Social Deal) what a rip-off!!! Very bad experience and we certainly won't be coming back here.. what a lousy place with terribly arrogant staff! Shame on you!

This restaurant felt like a huge disappointment to us, and unfortunately, even a bit like a scam. We arrived about fifteen minutes past our reservation time. That can happen, and we understand that, but from the moment we sat down, we were literally told every few minutes that we had to hurry because the table was only available for two hours and would be reserved again after that. Fine, rules are rules. That is why we immediately ordered all courses from the menu and our drinks at once so that everything could proceed faster. Nevertheless, the wait staff kept constantly asking if we wanted to order anything else, while simultaneously saying that we had to leave soon. As a result, we felt incredibly rushed and had to consume our food and drinks hastily without being able to enjoy ourselves in peace or talk to each other. There was also a live performance, but I couldn't even see it. We were sitting in a corner where the DJ was standing, and there was another couple in between, so there was no view. Due to the constant pressure to hurry, there was no moment to enjoy it anyway. We asked for bottled water, but were given tap water in their own bottle, which was also lukewarm. Because we were already being rushed so much, I didn't even mention it at that point. The staff told us several times that we could stay until 9:00 PM, while on paper our time ran until 8:45 PM. So we assumed we had perhaps been given an extra fifteen minutes. Additionally, one person from our reservation ultimately did not show up. According to the website, you can report this so that the entrance fee is refunded. I therefore called the restaurant in advance, and they indicated that they had made a note and that the amount would be deducted from the bill. That seemed fine to us. However, when we received the bill, it turned out that amount had not been deducted at all. When I pointed this out, I was told that the hotel (with which they collaborate) had registered that I had called about this, but that I had to send an email to get the entrance fee refunded. According to them, they could no longer refund it on the spot because the cancellation period had passed. Even though they themselves confirmed that I had indeed called on time and that a note had been made of it. When I indicated that this shouldn't be my problem because it had been promised to me, a whole discussion ensued. We then had to wait another ten minutes. After that, the wait staff returned with a new bill on which there was suddenly an extra €27. When I asked where this amount came from, they said it was because I had brought my own cake. According to the website, you only pay for this per plate used. However, we hadn't ordered any extra plates for the cake at all. Another discussion arose about this as well, and the manager kept insisting that I was wrong. I then asked her to check the website herself. Eventually, it turned out that I was right after all. This also took another ten minutes. As a result, we were by now twenty minutes over the time they themselves had so strictly emphasized. Ironically, this happened because of their own mistakes. I had an appointment with people after dinner who had to wait for me because of this. And the most remarkable thing: during those twenty minutes, not a single group came to our table claiming to have made a reservation. In fact, there were plenty of other tables available at that moment. In other words: the story that our table was needed again immediately simply wasn't true. I have rarely had such a bad and uncomfortable experience in a restaurant, certainly not at a place that is promoted so heavily. There really are much better places where you can eat in peace and where service and hospitality are taken seriously. I would therefore absolutely skip this restaurant.

We went out for dinner at Bar Rouge on Valentine's Day, where a misunderstanding arose regarding the time slot. We discussed this with the manager, and as a result, we were allowed to try again a month later; this time, everything was properly arranged. We had a lovely waitress, Nina, who made sure everything ran smoothly.

Such a good night for a friends birthday

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere

The service and atmosphere are very pleasant, the food is delicious.

Amazing experience! Reggie is the best server, loved the vibe of the bar!

Terrible dinner. We came from Italy to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday with 10 other friends, all of whom were dissatisfied with the evening. We booked a dinner show, but we never saw the show because it apparently ended at 9:30 PM (our arrival time). Obviously, the website doesn't specify the times. Later, we were told we couldn't open the cake at midnight in the restaurant because they close at 11 PM (on a Friday night). When we asked to move to the supper club next door to get some bottles and open the cake, we were told we'd have to pay €900 for a table to go, after having already paid €800 at the restaurant. In conclusion, we ate the cake at 11 PM and were already on our way by midnight (our actual birthday). Never again.

The entertainment was good, but you don't have to come here for the delicious food. It was overpriced and actually just plain cold and tasteless. If you go, I recommend being well-drunk, because the food tastes better that way.

We went here as a surprise from my boyfriend for my birthday, and what a great evening! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed in such a lovely way. The atmosphere was top-notch, the staff so friendly, and the food truly delicious. The music completed the experience: R&B, my fav! Exactly the right vibe. We even had shots with the staff 😄 You can tell from everything that they enjoy what they do, and that rubs off on the guests. The service is genuinely excellent and personal. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Definitely worth repeating and highly recommended! 💃🏽✨

We had the Valentine's Day event booked for months before as we were visiting for my best friends wedding anniversary and we were all so excited to go.

We Visited Amsterdam for my birthday and booked lobster Thursday at bar Rouge! Amazing, would highly recommend! Food, drinks, entertainment 10/10. The Dj played the best music! Thank you for a great night!

Read the fine print carefully when booking a table. Not only do you have to pay for the reservation itself, but you’re also required to spend at least €50 on food and drinks, which aren’t anything special. The selection of dishes and beverages is underwhelming too. It’s definitely not worth the money you’ll end up spending.

An amazing experience ! The singer was so talented and so were the dancers. We had a lovely time I recommend

The price to quality ratio was very bad. The sushi presentation was nice but it did not taste fresh nor good. The food arrived very late and everything came separately. ( drinks and food) . The minimum spending was 50 euro so you had to order more whether or not you like the food. The atmosphere isn’t as fancy as it seems online and it’s an underground bar that has been decorated. The order was also wrong few times. The show was nice and entertaining. However not worth the price. Nice idea but horrible execution. Hope to see you improve more in the future!

Annie delivered amazing service, she was always on point, food was amazing. Would 100% recommend 10/10

Went to Bar Rouge for a birthday dinner. Food and atmosphere was amazing. Service was great. Annie was amazing. Definitely recommend.

We had the Valentine's Day event booked for months before as we were visiting for my best friends wedding anniversary and we were all so excited to go. There was no table reservations when booking tickets so we assumed if we turned up early then we would get a half decent seat for our group. Upon arrival we were seated at the very back of the venue, completely away from where the event was happening and we were sat basically in the kitchen with all the staff. The event had lovely red lighting moving around the room and we were sat under had LED lighting pointing right in our face. We also couldn't see into the event area as there is huge pillars blocking all view. Our waitress also told us that these tables aren't normally used and are staff only tables. I tried to make a point of this to the waiters and were told that there was nothing they could do as the event was fully booked but the restaurant was still half empty to which I clearly pointed out. After pointing this out to our waitress she said she would go get the manager, to which she did but took over 20/30 minutes and in that time the restaurant filled up. When the manager finally came over she told us that there was nothing that she could do and was quite rude and patronising to our group acting as if we had bought some kind of cheap money saver ticket when we in fact paid the same price as everybody else at the event. The only compensation offered was the cheapest nastiest bottle of CAVA even after complaining. Money wasted. Evening wasted. Food was disgusting. Definitely won't ever be returning and will be telling friends and family not to go either.

We paid 50 euros for a "Valentine's Day special"... Then, after an hour and a half, we finally got a show. Fifteen minutes later, the bill arrived, and we had to leave again.

Nina was fantastic. A very cheerful girl, a real asset.

It was an incredible evening, service was amazing, food was magical, i passed a wonderful birthday! Thanks Christal!

Great atmosphere!! Delighted to have discovered this bar!

The pornstar martini is UNREAL. So fresh and has real passionfruit oh my gosh best ever I will never be able to drink another again. Nina was the sweetest server ever!!!

Nena was awesome!!! Would come back

This was incredible! We have Neni who is beautiful and amazing! She was so helpful and patient! Will definitely come back here! The espresso martini, pornstar martini, and cava were amazing!! Make a reservation!

Great experience on our Valentine's Day ❤️

I'm telling you honestly, this is truly the place to be. I've been here twice now, and the service is fantastic. It really feels like one big family. Great music, delicious food, and a super cozy atmosphere. The people who work here clearly go above and beyond. They regularly check in on you, stop by for a chat, and make you feel welcome. This is a place I'd happily return to every month. I'll definitely be coming back much more often!

One of the cool places i have visited in Amsterdam! The atmosphere is unique and nice vibes are there all night long. Definitely recommend if you like a little performance with your dining experience. We got their special plate of sushi including many options, but i would say the food itself was very mid and the taste was not so special. The drinks were amazing on the other hand! The staff are super lovely and nice.
