NJoy in De Weteringschans

Great cocktails and atmosphere. Barmen Vova knows his art. All four of our cocktails were out of this world. Definitely will come back

Amazing service and very nice drinks

I had such a fun evening. Especially with Joey!🤍

Excellent cocktails and setting

Have been to njoy over the years very often - mostly every time I'm in Amsterdam. Nice signature cocktails and new menu every couple of months.

A lovely cocktail bar! Loved the atmosphere, really nice staff. A bit pricey. I didn't like the fact that our bill was different than expected (different cocktails from the ones we ordered, a bit more expensive ones). Was it on purpose? Who knows... I'll come again 🙃 EDIT: it seems to have been an honest mistake! I think I found my favourite place in Leidseplein!

Handsdown one of the best cocktail spots in Amsterdam! A must see/taste! 😍

Beautiful atmosphere with strenuously enjoyable music. Prices are moderately high, but worth it. Warm welcome and friendly bartenders. Promoted!

Best pornstar martini I have ever had! I’ve been here before many years ago, and it’s still as amazing as ever ✨ Thank you Joey for the lovely service 💕

NJOY was truly a wonderful discovery. A well-kept venue with a relaxed and very pleasant atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely drink in the evening. The cocktails are beautifully presented, with great attention to detail, and above all, they're truly delicious: balanced, fresh, and anything but ordinary. The ambiance also plays its part, with soft lighting and an intimate atmosphere that makes everything even more enjoyable. You can tell they care about both quality and the customer experience. A place I'd happily return to and absolutely recommend for a lovely evening in Amsterdam. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

NJOY is a must visit if you are in amsterdam. The cocktails were incredible and there was a great atmosphere. Vlad provided great service and is a cocktail expert. Thank you very much!

The cocktails are wonderful! The staff is super friendly and made for great conversation. I loved the chill atmosphere and the music it was such a great place to relax and enjoy a few drinks!

I’m usually not one to write reviews, but I just can’t help myself with this one! NJOY is one of those places where you really only need to walk in once to immediately understand why people keep coming back. Everything is right here: the atmosphere, the vibe, the cocktails, the music, and especially the energy. It’s not just any cocktail bar; it’s truly one of those evenings that feels good from start to finish. What makes this place extra special is Lily. She is the heart of NJOY: warm, genuinely hospitable, and someone who visibly gives her all to ensure her guests have a fantastic evening. You can feel in everything that she doesn’t just run this place, but truly lives it. And it is precisely because of this that NJOY gets that personal charm that you don’t often come across in Amsterdam anymore. The cocktails are not only beautiful to look at, but also really well made. The whole experience feels chic without being pretentious, cozy without feeling massive, and special without being overdone. If you want an evening you won’t forget, go here!!

the best cocktails! Vladimir was a great waiter. Super Nice. And the cocktail lady is the best!!! Good luck with the baby❤️

Very unique cocktails and very good service from Vladimir

Great place. Vlad is the best bartender Amsterdam has seen yet.

Amazing place and amazing drinks. The bartenders and staff is so nice - they bring the party. A special shout out to Vlad - he took excellent care of us and made very tasty drinks. Will be back!

Very nice and authentic cocktail bar. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The only place in Amsterdam I’ve been able to find a true classic martini. 10/10

The best cocktails was from Vladimir !!!!!!

Vlad was brilliant he made our night

Horrible Service on 29/07 shift of 18:30. Normally love this place. But the waiter made remarks that were really odd to us and the customers (was he drunk..?).

Highly recommend, exceptional service, amazing cocktails!

Possibly the best cocktail bar in the world. Been to Amsterdam twice, and both visits required one or more visits to this bar. This is now a tradition

NJOY is tucked away on one of the busiest tourist streets, yet the terrace feels surprisingly intimate. It’s the kind of place where one cocktail easily turns into three while you watch the city drift by. I came for the special Hendrick’s Gin collaboration with local sorbet maker Miuz and stayed longer than planned. Every cocktail feels balanced, distinctive, and made with real care. The service is warm, intuitive, and effortlessly professional. You never feel rushed, and every recommendation comes with genuine enthusiasm. It’s the sort of place you’ll recommend to friends while secretly hoping they don’t all go at once.

Great service & really tasty cocktails

5 stars. Came for the Masterclass, stayed for the delicious drinks. Would highly recommend.

Excellent drinks and even better service. Both bartenders were friendly and quite passionate about their craft. I will absolutely be coming back.

Amazing cocktails, vibes and music!!! We had the best time at Njoy - Lilliyin, Suzanna, Yurick, and Liz went above and beyond to make our night special. Highly recommend

Amazing cocktails and A1 service!

I advice the Envy Me also for the show! Lilly and Vladimir gave great service and drinks. One of the best bars in Amsterdam. I totally recommend it!

Lovely bar with the most delicious cocktails. Amazing service. Definitely worth a visit for a cocktail or 2 or 3.

Best cocktails in amsterdam!! Can’t get better than this! A true joy in the heart of the dutch capital DEFINETELY recommend!!

The first visit here was good so I decided to return when I had family visit from abroad. The volcano cocktail was not balanced, with a very powering rum flavour. On the last visit the cocktail was significantly better and the other cocktails were well balanced. When asked how the cocktails were and I gave my response the server communicated that nothing changed in the recipie and it should be the same as before. So why even ask how everything is? No offer to fix or correct it was given at first. No one at the table could drink the volcano drink, it was sent back and still paid for. The lollipop drink was also out of balance and couldn't be finished. the lollipop drink was credited off the bill. Unfortunately the experience at other cocktail bars vastly supersedes Njoy.

I was looking for a place of a nightcap after an evening boat cruise, and this place called my attention. It looked interesting and nice from the outside, so I decided to give it ago. When I found the door, I saw their notice about dress code and the instruction to ring the doorbell, something I hadn’t come across before. After ringing the doorbell, I was welcomed by the owner. I sat at the bar, and the bartender made me a cocktail with an alteration on request. I went for the ‘Passionate Mexican’, first without the crème de mure, and it was lovely; but I also had the full deal on my second drink. This was a Wednesday evening, and the next day was a bank holiday, and the place wasn’t empty, but it wasn’t full either. I could tell that the punters were a mix of tourists and locals. The place has a calm and lovely atmosphere. The doorbell policy is an alternative solution to having a bouncer, a way to choose who gets in mainly on the premise of following the dress code. Both the bartender and the owner were very friendly, so I had a good chat with them. The bar has a really interesting cocktail menu, but the bartender is experienced enough to make you any of the classics if you wish. The bar has been going for over twenty years and still standing! I would happily go back to this place again on my next visit to Amsterdam, and I would certainly recommend you do too.

Had such a great experience at this bar! The drinks were really good, the ambiance was perfect, and the whole place had such a fun, welcoming vibe. Joey was amazing from the second we walked in — super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. He also had us laughing the whole time because he was genuinely funny and easy to talk to. His service really made the night even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Delicious cocktails (lots of choice), cozy atmosphere. Nice music. Attentive host.

Love this place! Fantastic service and fancy cocktails. Joey the host and the bartender (amazing Italian man whose name I can’t spell) made us feel so welcome. We sat at the bar which is always the way to go. Can’t wait to come back.

Fabulous service and drinks. Highly recommend

Super tasty cocktails and really good service from Joey!!!

Best cocktails ever! Joey is awesome!

Amazing drinks, atmosphere, service, and most joyful staff!!

Without a doubt the best drinks AND service in Europe. Cannot recommend this place enough and I’m so excited to have found a legitimate cocktail bar in Amsterdam. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Amazing cocktails......dead stop! The Thunderball cocktail was so original and amazing. But every cocktail was a revelation!

My partner loves a particular type of rum, so I had found out that Njoy stocks it...but so much more! A lovely bar, extensive amount of drinks and cocktails that I had never come across before...I had the Beurre Noisette...delicious. We were attentively served by Jago, who was kindness itself and explained the cocktails so well. The decor was fabulous too...thank you Njoy...we'll be back!

Cozy place, good cocktails, and it's really well prepared by the friendly staff!

Super fun place! Spontaneous and friendly staff and delicious cocktails! Definitely recommended.

A very enjoyable cocktail bar with high-quality and original drinks. The staff were excellent—especially the Polish waitress who took care of us; she was very friendly and helpful. The venue and atmosphere are also great. We had been here before, and this time we noticed they’ve added a doorbell system and seem to be selective about who they let in. It was a bit surprising, but perhaps that’s part of what helps maintain the high quality. I'd give 6 stars if I could.

The waitress is nice enough, but for these prices, I think you should expect a bit more from the cocktails. It’s not bad, but for the price, “adequate” isn’t enough and they need to do something extra. For example, at Celest in Rotterdam, you pay less, you sit on a rooftop with a DJ, and the cocktails are served to a higher quality. But anyway, this is Amsterdam, so maybe by their standards this is top-notch—that’s possible—but by my standards, it isn’t. Also, the decor in the restrooms; I missed hand soap and hand balm, etc.

We didnt have food so ignore that rating but the atmosphere and cocktails were 10/10 the best espresso martini my wife had ever had a a lovely place to sit and chat, highly recommended

Great cocktailbar, good vibe and delicious cocktails. The host are very friendly, it’s a pleasure to be here.

Had a super fun experience. Joey is the best! Great service!! Took a photo of us, really nice, and super tasty cocktails!

Together with my wife, we had a cocktail at this really nice bar again after 11 years!! Highly recommended to everyone. Additionally, the service from the host is excellent, making sure everyone has a great time!! We will definitely be back and I recommend it to everyone for a fun date. Have fun in Thailand ;)

Excellent cocktails, atmosphere sophisticated, kind staff.

One of the good speakeasy cocktail bars in Amsterdam.The host is so fabulous! The cocktails are good but on the expensive side - we paid 40 eur for 2.

Delicious cocktails, a fantastic atmosphere, and fantastic service! A very cozy bar, definitely worth a visit! ❤️

Friendly and attentive. "Envy Me" is super fun with a strong alcohol smell and taste and a show at the bar!

We recently stopped by NJOY, hoping for a classy night out, but it ended up being a pretty disappointing experience overall. Both our cocktails were seriously off balance; way too sweet and lacking any real harmony in flavors. On top of that, the music was blasting so loud that we could barely hear each other talk without leaning in. The service didn’t redeem things either, our waitress coming over like a robot, pushing shots with zero warmth or genuine chat, just straight up mechanical upselling that made us feel like targets rather than guests. The bar looks stylish enough with its glam lighting and setup, but between the unbalanced, overly sweet cocktails, the deafening volume and the pushy vibe, it wasn’t the relaxed, quality cocktail experience we were after.

Amazing bar with a fantastic atmosphere —stylish and intimate. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the great vibe of the place. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. What I appreciated most was the creativity behind the cocktails. Each drink felt carefully thought out, with unique flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The menu offers a very interesting and well-curated selection, with something for every taste, whether you prefer classic cocktails or more experimental mixes. There’s also a lot of choice, so it’s easy to find something new to try every time. Overall, it’s a place that really stands out for its quality, atmosphere, and originality. If you’re looking for a bar with great drinks, good vibes and a memorable experience, this is definitely one worth visiting again.

Had one of the best Bar experiences! Staff super nice and lovely. The Barkeeper yuyu made our evening perfect. Drinks were on point. Big recommendation!

Subliminalicious!! ✨ Warm welcome, great personnel, delicious drinks, atmosphere sublime. All the right ingredients to come again!

I've been coming to Njoy on and off for 20 years, and every time I enter I receive a warm welcome, thanks to the host and the skilled bartender.

If you want the best cocktails in Amsterdam, you definitely have to go here. I had the lollypop, a strawberry daiquiri, and the apple pie as a shot. So good! 😋

we went there for drinks and had an amazing time!!! the service was so great and the cocktails were the best we ever had. i couldn’t recommend this place enough. also the truffle arancinis were delicious!

Delicious drinks, a modern and beautiful interior with plenty of seating, and friendly staff – I'll be back! :)

On January 3rd, I went to NJOY for drinks. I've been coming here for a while, and the service has always been good. What happened this evening, however, was embarrassing and unacceptable. After waiting at the bar for over 10 minutes, we were finally asked what we wanted to drink (which wouldn't have been a problem if the service was good). We both ordered a Valpolicella red. The Asian waiter who helped us (not that it matters, but I want to make it clear who we're talking about) poured an amount of wine that was simply absurd. Not a glass of wine, but literally a tasting sip. My friend and I looked at each other in surprise—this made no sense. I specifically asked: "Is this for tasting?" His answer: "No, this is the glass." My glass was approximately 50 ml of wine. After four sips, my €10 wine was completely gone. I've never experienced this before, anywhere in the world, from South Africa to Italy. This doesn't feel like a mistake, but like deliberately taking advantage of guests. I paid and left immediately. Let me be clear: NJOY is a great place, and the rest of the staff is fantastic. But this particular waiter is doing a tremendous amount of damage to the business. Whenever he's behind the bar, I'll walk out immediately. It's a shame, because NJOY deserves better than this kind of behavior.

Amazing experience! Lily prepared the most beautiful and delicious cocktails for me and my friends. Such a lovely place.

Love it there!! One of my favorite cocktailbars! Good service. I feel like home there. Everytime i visit Amsterdam

We had a fabulous experience at Njoy. The presentation and taste of the smoked buttered old fashion whiskey was spectacular. Whiskey Sour with Laphroaig was also very good. Strongly recommend!

A fantastic cocktail bar right in the heart of the party district. You have to ring the bell to get in. Drunken people, large groups, and shady characters are turned away. The waitstaff and bartenders are great. The cocktail selection is amazing, and the taste is superb. The decor is dim with lots of light; it's small but surprisingly spacious, with loud but pleasant music. Highly recommended.

Good cocktails, service, atmosphere and music. We only stopped for one cocktail before dinner and didn't regret.

The pornstar martinis are truly muchos bueno like you've never tasted before!!!

Had some of the best cocktails of amsterdam and the staff was amazing!

Amazing cocktails and very lovely staff especially the italian stallion

An absolute must in Amsterdam! And Lily is the best along the best staff in the city. Hands down a place we’ll go back to again!

Curly fries!!!!! In Amsterdam? For sure!!! Fat washed old fashioneds are good as well!!!

Really great cocktails, attentive service, highly recommend.

Expensive cocktail bar with slow service. Ordered the most expensive Negroni of my life and to my surprise it was also the weakest I ever had. To add to that I Also had to wait nearly half an hour for it, while its just a drink. Wouldn't recommend this place. I do want to say that service was friendly though.

Lovely bar with great character and a comfortable ambience. The drinks are ok, service fantastic. Am happy to give 5 stars, recommended and will definately come again next time. Thaks guys

Lemon Meringue Pie-Tini was delicious !!! 🍋😍

I recently went to Njoy with friends for my birthday. Let me tell you, I've never tasted such delicious and unique cocktails. Honestly, everything was delicious, and the hostess was a real sweetheart. My tip: let her surprise you. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!

The cocktails were very well prepared, the atmosphere was very nice and so were the customers, the waitress from Lithuania was very kind to us and also spoke Spanish, we will definitely come back, thank you very much!

Super delicious cocktails. Very friendly staff too. They're really helpful in choosing what you like.

As a lover of cocktails I can truthfully say that the 4 cocktails we ordered yesterday were some of the best I ever had, they were worth every cent. In fact my partner who’s more a beer drinker is still raving about his first one and said it’s the best cocktail he’s EVER had! Waitress was also very nice and friendly. We plan to go again before we leave.

Awesome place for cocktails. The sweet potato fries were yum. Sean Connery is for whiskey lovers and for rum lovers, lollipop: sweet, rich, and smooth. The service was awesome 👍🏽 Lilly has been super helpful in choosing my drink.

The lady bartender on the top floor was super nice and made really good cocktails!

The "envy me" cocktail is fantastic!

An energetic atmosphere, attentive service, and friendly people. All the cocktails we tried were amazing; the bartender did a fantastic job. Worth to give a shot :D

It is one of the best cocktail bar in Amsterdam. You wont be disappointed. Whatever you order will be served in different type of glasses which are prepared very well. We recommended this cocktail bar to our friends and we got very good returns.

Very nice ambiance and delicious cocktails. 👌🏼

Great staff and super tasty drinks!

Have you ever tried a Sechuan Button also known as Buzz Buttons?! 🤯 An "electric" experience. It begins with a champagne-like sensation on the tip of the tongue. Then, a tingling and numbing sensation spreads across the entire tongue and insides of the cheeks, accompanied by a flood of saliva. In short, an experience you'll never forget. I chewed it for about 10 seconds and then chased it with a delicious shot. You can see it sitting next to it on the coaster. So weird 😆 And this bubble cocktail was divine.

Nice place with a good selection of cocktails.

A wonderful welcome from Lili upon entering! The cocktails and shots prepared by Benjamin are excellent. All in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff is very friendly!

Great cocktails! They had food options, but we only had olives.

Awesome cocktail bar with creative and original cocktail recipes. The service was more than great and the music was as if it was my own playlist. This place is totally my vibes. They offer a big variety of cocktails so is easy to get lost choosing between all the options. Please ask the server if you need help deciding on what to order, they will be glad to help you out! Totally recommend and hope to come back soon! Cheers!

The most delicious food ever in the Netherlands with a wonderful atmosphere and coziness

Extensive menu of cocktails with options to have a personalized cocktail made based on your preferences. Great friendly service.

The atmosphere, attention and interest are very friendly and the cocktails are very successful, I definitely recommend it. It has become our indispensable cocktail venue in Amsterdam. 😍

Amazing cocktail bar with outstanding service, Lili took great care of us. Would definitely recommend!

Wow! What an amazing cocktail bar... we had a great time! The drinks are amazing and the staff are super friendly
