Dutch Courage in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Great place for super cocktails, the server is on top of his game and knows all of his menus. The mixer behind the bar is super friendly, I recommend to all.

Great cocktails based on different types of gin

Excellent cocktail experience in Amsterdam. Bartenders were super friendly and welcoming. Drinks were on point. Went in for one and stayed for a few!

Came for the cocktails and stayed for the staff. We tried 2 of the genever flights, it’s not for the faint of heart. I am a gin lover but this took some getting used to, but it is a must try.

Best cocktails ever ❤️ loyalty but it was worth it.

Amazing staff, great cocktails and speedy service!

Great & original cocktails, lots of seasonal options. Chill nice vibe & attentive passionate service (Martijn was really great!) We really enjoyed ourselves here.

Martijn and Luca were fantastic hosts! Best drinks I’ve ever had and very knowledgeable about every liquor.

Great cocktails, and even better bartenders. Luca and Martijn know everything you could possibly need to have a good time

An impressive amount of liquors in the menu, all very tasty and a healthy amount of beers as well. Place is cozy and conveniently located.

Great drinks and service. Thanks!

My wife and I happened to chance upon this place during our recent visit to Amsterdam. Great service, awesome atmosphere, and the cocktails will knock your socks off. Try the New Amsterdam cocktail. You won't regret it.

The quality of the cocktails and the excellent service fully justify the price point. This is a place where they care about what they serve, and how they serve it. A lot of thought has gone into every element of the experience, yet it's not stiff, but very relaxed. Also they chose a great shade of blue. Shoutout to Martijn for excellent service and recommendations.

What an intimate and high quality bar! You get free water (and refills!) and snacks, the menus are intuitive and the cocktails are very creative - although I do recommend just getting a Genever pure. We were served by Martijn, who was not only quick on his feet, but also able to recommend the right Genever and tell us something about every drink. Highly recommended!

Martijn and Luca were amazing! We had a great time here! Definitely coming back anytime we're in Amsterdam!

Incredibly great service and very good drinks, I can only recommend it to everyone!!!

Great staff, amazing atmosphere. Best drinks in town with an excellent bar staff. Thank you for the enjoyment and hospitality, you guys made some of my most memorable nights(into the early morning) in Amsterdam.

Very cozy cocktail bar. The bartender was really sweet and witty. Definitely had a good time

Awesome staff. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great drinks!!

Last night in Amsterdam, looking for something unique and memorable to end the night. Stopped into a few local bars in the area with disappointed. Shot my shot at one last place and found an absolute winner! SPOTLIGHT ON LUCA!! Make sure to ask for Luca when you stop in!! Knowledgeable, funny and goes above and beyond and back around again. I was today years old when I learned

Amazing cocktail and friendly staffs!!! Will definitely back! Love the vibes here😘Radek is very helpful and kind!!!!!

This place is in Main Street, it has good vibe and people crowd. Service is very good here

Had a really nice time, staff knew their stuff and were really friendly and helpful. 100% recommend you visit :)

Free water, free bar snacks, and fantastic drinks!!

Warm and quality welcome. The menu is extensive, but the waitress is always happy to help you find the right cocktail. The decor is nice.

Bald Italian guy, named Luca, was a bit intimidating, but after we had the pleasure of getting his cocktails and recommendations we loved every sip of this fine drink master at this lovely small gem in Amsterdam.

A pleasant surprise, but as soon as we entered, we were greeted by the Italian bartender who explained the cocktails in detail, giving us the best recommendations. Beautiful place, delicious cocktails, and fantastic staff. Highly recommended.

Cocktails was amazing so was the services and the barman is really nice

Sick Bar, perfect service, passionate staff

Very chill spot. Cocktails were fantastic 😊

Been living in Amsterdam the last 4 years, decided to pop over to this wonderful little gem in the centre. Such wonderful service, amazing cocktails, and to top it all off - some of the friendliest service, including a taster of some incredible Genever - Thanks to the fabulous team - Martijn, Radek, Yung - for a memorable evening. Will definitely be back - highly recommend!! xx

Awesome drinks here, very unique. Wish I could have this place in my home town

Amazing drinks and amazing service.

My girlfriend and I decided to have a drink and each chose a cocktail from the menu. We hadn't noticed that the drink was jenever-based, something we normally don't like, but we wanted to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, the taste wasn't to our liking. We realized this was our own choice and just wanted to pay and leave without making a fuss. To our surprise, however, the bartender became angry and irritated when he noticed we weren't enjoying the drinks. He continued to react in an awkward manner, making us feel very unwelcome. We ended up leaving within seconds because the atmosphere became so unpleasant. It was a shame about the evening. We didn't have a problem with the cocktails themselves, but the way they were handled made the experience very unpleasant. Hospitality is just as important as the drinks menu.

This is the best bar that I have been to in Amsterdam the atmosphere is perfect the drinks are AMAZING and Martijn took the best care of is!

Awesome place. Awesome waitress and service. Awesome cocktails. Awesome candied cocktails. We picked it pretty randomly and we didn't regret it at all.

Lovely experience sitting here, we were kindly served by Martijn who brought charisma and personality to the table along with very nice cocktails.

Didn't get much attention so we left after one drink. The drink was very good though

Properly done and fair priced cocktails. Martijn is running the show👌. Well done!

The wine is delicious, and there is an Asian bartender who is very handsome 😇

Fantastic intimate cocktail bar! Staff were so genuinely friendly! Everyone welcomed us as soon as we went through the door. We chose a table at the back of the bar but the guy came and invited us to a much better location which was great! The cocktail menu was HUGE and with many unique cocktails and types of Genever. Again, staff were more than willing to offer advice and recommendations. None disappointed!! Had a great atmosphere and would definitely return!

It's my first time trying Genever. It leaves a memory of Amsterdam, so fresh and clear. The espresso martini is sweet, and a rare bitterness remains. The bartender with blue hair is so lovely and nice, giving advice and answering questions patiently.

A fabulous cocktail spot in Amsterdam. If you're looking to discover the local spirit Genever or just to enjoy some quality craft cocktails you should definitely go there

Amazing cocktails. Luca knows his stuff - just trust his suggestions.

Blown away by my experience here. Luca the bartender is a genius and crafts some excellent cocktails. Highly recommend ordering something clarified 😁.

EXCELLENT SERVICE, great drinks. Would go back again. very cute little bar with fun cocktails

Expert baristas who gave great recommendations to two cocktail hobbyists who had never tried genever before :) also were happy to talk to us and let us taste different types. If you're a cocktail or spirit enthusiast, this is well worth a visit. Thanks!

I'm grading this on a curve with high expectations for a top-flight bar. I thought the drinks were solid, but with better options in Amsterdam (Bar 27) I can't give it top marks. The seat (near the bathroom) was also slanted, with minor details being overlooked. Overall a high quality experience in the red light district for cocktails, but a step behind the best in class for Amsterdam.

Nice cocktails but unfortunately we were treated very strangely by the staff who gave strange remarks. I like and regularly go to cocktail bars but I think I will skip this one next time.

The bartenders are very friendly, the cocktails are excellent

Fun thematic place. Only 16.50 for a soft drink?! Pure relief. Until never.

Girl that works there knows her spirits and cocktails! Amazing, chill and overall must visit cocktail bar in Amsterdam

Nous avons été déçu de notre venu dans ce bar. En effet, nous sommes très bien reçus mais donc "bloqués" par l'hospitalité. Nous avons été surprises par le rapport quantité/prix (60€ pour 4 verres dont 1 sans alcool). Irish Coffee, qui ne ressemble pas à un irish coffee. Je recommande d'y aller que si vous recherchez des alcools spécifiques.

Really great bar. Some of the best cocktails I've had anywhere. Staff were lovely and a good laugh.

Pretty nice inside! Super cozy decor. Cocktails were great! This was the best espresso martini I’ve probably ever had. Special shout out to the girl with blue hair who worked there. They were so patient and helpful in making the right drink choices for what we liked. So pleasant!

Nice cocktails. Not cheap, but really tasty.

The drinks were great, although quite expensive even for Amsterdam standards. Didn't try any food. One thing that bothered me a lot was the implementation of obligatory tipping choice when paying with card, with minimum 10% tip over an already very expensive menu. Why are Dutch bars and restaurants, especially in Amsterdam, trying to incorporate the worst aspect of American culture into Dutch culture? Please stop trying to make tipping culture happen in this country. US and NL are not the same and this behavior is gross in a country where dealing with massive inflation is seriously problematic already. People will tip without this pushy American system but the difference is that they will feel much better about it in the end.

Luca and mark are amazing. Drinks are amazing. Atmosphere is amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

The person who served us was so lovely and the cocktails were fantastic! I picked the "melting pot" cocktail and I thought it was an amazing mix of flavours. You can tell there is a lot of thought and love poured (pardon the pun!) into the menu. I will definitely return when I'm back in Amsterdam!

Beautiful cocktails! Quite small but really nice vibe

Nice little cocktail bar, close to station, wide range of Dutch cocktails, friendly, skilled staff

Super nice vibe. Great drinks I tried the Zilt basically their version of a old fashion

Really love the vibe here! The owner is the same as the Flying Dutchman, but it’s less crowded here. The staff here are super nice.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. And the cocktails? Absolutely top-notch – creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. A spot definitely worth visiting

Excellent vibes and fun drinks!

The friendliest bar I’ve been too. Everyone was so kind and tourist friendly. Cool and intimate space. Really great way to experience genever.

The bar has a very nice atmosphere and has a large selection of cocktails, the staff is very helpful and friendly in giving advice. Highly recommended for a good evening.

We visited Dutch Courage on a friend’s recommendation. It was awesome and I highly recommend it! Be sure to try the Genever based drinks, as they are local. We tried ~6 different cocktails but my favorites were Kesbeke Martini and New Amsterdam. The service was impeccable! The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for a great final night in Amsterdam!

Vine aquí por recomendación de un amigo camarero de una coctelería en Nueva Zelanda. Cuando una recomendación viaja tan lejos por todo el mundo, generalmente puede esperar que cumpla. En todo caso superó mis expectativas. Frecuento bares de cócteles en cada ciudad que visito, y este está allí con uno de los mejores que he visitado. Los camareros son conversadores, amables, muy bien informados y listos para aconsejarle una buena selección para que coincida con sus gustos, incluidos los clásicos fuera de menú, o incluso una simple cerveza o vino si no es amante de los cócteles. El bar es un ambiente íntimo con un ambiente boutique acogedor. Los cócteles en sí eran fantásticos, bien presentados y deliciosos. Para mí el cóctel con la galleta de cacahuete encima era mi favorito. Vine aquí por un trago, terminó quedándose por tres cada uno fue tan bueno. No te saltes este

The atmosphere was great! Service was incredible and the cocktails were top shelf! Highly recommend stopping in for one or more! You won't be disappointed!

Very great restaurant. We only had one cocktail, so I can't comment on the food. But very friendly and attentive staff. The cocktails are different than in Germany but very tasty 😋 and with more alcohol than in Germany.

Great drinks and selection of genever, a typical dutch drink. Alessia’s excellent service was the cherry on top, thank you!

The Polish bartender was the best! He was super patient and helpful. He expressed genuine interest in helping us find the right cocktail that suited our unique preferences and tastes and everything he made was delicious

Wandered in organically from the street and spent an hour or so sitting at the bar. The bartenders were in constant expert motion, cocktails were lovely and original.

What a fantastic amazing experience! I’ve been to many MANY bars all over the world and this place has it all! Great drinks and even better staff! Sit at the bar and stay for the entertainment

Great place, with nice atmosphere and really friendly and nice staff, delicious cocktails and giant selection of Genever (287 bottles if I remember good) Highly recommended to visit

Dutch Courage is an amazing cocktail bar where they really care about the craft. The atmosphere is great and our bartender/server Luca was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about all the drinks on the menu. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in that part of town

Lucas was an amazing host. Very friendly, engaging and quite knowledgeable. I highly recommend anyone who wants to have an amazing experience to visit Dutch Courage. Thanks again Luca!!!

Yes for a good cocktail. But very expensive.

Such a chill atmosphere and tasty drinks! It was a perfect last stop after a day out on the town.

Highly recommend this bar. Fantastic drink selection and top notch service. Our bartender/server Luca was awesome and even taught us about the ideas behind the drinks. Ask for the Passage to Trinidad, delicious.

I had one night in Amsterdam and was so lucky to find this establishment. The people who work here are amazing, funny, attentive. The drinks were superb! And the bitterballen, get the bitterballen! I was lucky to get a seat at the bar before it got busy and stayed busy. Did a jenever tasting and it was the first time I tried this and it’s so good. Definitely recommend!

This was the best pub we visited while in Amsterdam. The drinks were top notch and the atmosphere was great. What really made our experience excellent was our bartender Luca who was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made delicious drinks. We’ll definitely be back to the Dutch Courage the next time we visit!

Cool staff. Dope cocktails. Good location. What more do you want

Dutch people dont go here jongens.

Great little spot, amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, and awesome cocktails. Highly recommended!

Great cocktails and great bartenders. We had a fun experience chatting about local history and specialized Dutch liquors.

Amazing place to try genever It is my first time trying this liquor and the service is quite good. The dutch courage is pretty sour though Excellent service by the team Will visit again

Very nice cozy bar with super friendly staff! Recommended!

Radem y Anna son ángeles. Trabajan incansablemente para ofrecer cócteles perfectamente mezclados y conceptualizados. Si no vienes aquí, eres un tonto.

Lovely cocktail bar. Incredible genever selection. World class cocktails made by friendly and professional staff. Great experience.

Very nice atmosphere, great cocktails

Great bar, amazing cocktails, highly skilled bartenders for sure.

Luca, Marc, Alessia were wonderful! This was the highlight of our time in Amsterdam - so welcoming, and tasty cocktails!

The cocktails were fabulous and amazingly tasty!!! I think I could’ve ordered anything off the menu and would’ve found it to be delightful. As a person sitting for one, I felt super comfortable and really enjoyed the experience and company! I’ll definitely be back when I’m back in Amsterdam!!

Excellent cocktail bar and a great introduction to all things genever. Both a delightful time and a learning experience.

Radek and Alessia are the most incredible duo. BEST night in Amsterdam learning about Genever and having the best, unique cocktails of our lives. So grateful for these two and for this experience! Would highly recommend to any traveler looking to better know the local scene while having excellent cocktails.

Such a cozy, lively atmosphere. And great drinks as well. They have dozens types of Jenever and a lot of great coctails. And they always offer free water to help your body sustain the drinks better, so good!

Lovely spot for a cocktail. Pornstar martini was fab. Lovely wait staff. Nice vibes

One of the best cocktail experiences we’ve had in Amsterdam! The drinks were absolutely perfect, expertly crafted with great attention to detail. Our server was impeccable, flawless service, incredibly thoughtful, and truly elevated our experience. Every cocktail felt carefully curated, and the atmosphere was just as amazing. Can’t wait to be back!
