Pulitzer's Bar in Grachtengordel-West

Great hospitality, wil definitely come back!!❤️

One of those bars that pours you a drink with the big rectangular ice cubes. When you take it out you realise it is literally a shot in a tall glass.

Service is well-intended but needs improvement. Fine cocktails but a short menu

My partner and I came by for a pre diner cocktail and Rico took care of us at the bar and I think this might be my new favorite place in the entire city. Rico took excellent care of us and explained the menu extremely welll. We will be back tomorrow and possibly the days after. Thank you so much!! Cheers RICO!

I’ve had many friends come to amsterdam and they always recommended Pulitzer’s so we had to stop by. The ambiance is incredible and our bartender Rico made the experience x10 better. He was so lovely and even took my drink preferences to make a specialized cocktail for the second round. We will be back (probably tomorrow).

very stylish interior and music perfectly complement the atmosphere, and the bar cocktail menu truly conveys the spirit of a speakeasy (there is a great selection of second-hand drinks too)

First class service all the way! Spend some time talking over a drink!

Great place to enjoy cocktails in the city. The atmosphere is stylish and welcoming, and the service is outstanding. The cocktails were expertly crafted. Overall, it was an excellent experience, definitely one of the best cocktail bars in Amsterdam and well above average.

If you are looking for top-notch cocktails and a stylish old school style place, this is it. They have great cocktails (pretty pricey but worth it). They give you water and snacks as starter. It is a place that you won’t forget. Great service and atmosphere.

Came here to escape the heatwave, came away blown with the drink and the vibe

We went for a late night drink at the Pulitzer bar while staying at the hotel and it was a lovely experience. The cocktails are on the higher end of cost based on the quantity of drink provided but thoughtfully crafted and the atmosphere and service more than make up for it. Our server Melanie went above and beyond for us to make it an enjoyable evening and was very attentive. Highly recommend her to patrons of the bar!

An exceptional cocktail experience in the heart of Amsterdam! The Pulitzer Bar combines elegance and outstanding hospitality in a truly unique setting. Every cocktail was expertly crafted, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced, showcasing the skill and passion of the bartenders. The atmosphere is comfortable, with stylish interiors and a warm ambiance that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and happy to recommend drinks tailored to our preferences. From the quality of the cocktails to the impeccable service and refined surroundings, every detail was flawless. Whether you’re visiting for a special occasion or simply looking for one of the best bars in Amsterdam, the Pulitzer Bar delivers an unforgettable experience.

I can't say enough great things about this bar. The bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The cocktails were also delicious. For the second round I had them make a martini. It was also excellent with a local gin. The bites were great too. The quality of the beef and the XO sauce for the tartare was delicious. I can't wait to go back next time I'm here 🥩🍸

A must go cocktail bar. Service was amazing and the cocktails were top notch. As a resident New Yorker, and former Londoner, I’ve frequented some of the best bars in the world and this is among them. Their inspiration and collaboration with DS & Durga Perfumery was spot on. We tried 4 cocktails, all were special, but the Cuir Noir is one that I’ll remember for a long time. The smell rivaled that of top notch perfumes, and the complexity rivaled that of a well-made Single Malt (not something I say lightly). Give it a year or two and I’m sure this’ll be on the worlds best bars list

Great ambiance and cocktails at the Pulitzer. My husband and I tried 4 different cocktails and each one was delicious and intriguing. Loved that they include a taste map near the end of their menu which makes selection easy. Great service too! Highly recommend if you’re looking for an upscale cocktail experience in Amsterdam.

Great atmosphere, amazing views

Excellent atmosphere, but the cocktails are somewhat weak. They serve water pretty regularly to avoid people from getting drunk but also to prompt them ordering more. When you ask them to repeat one drink, they repeat all the drinks, including the ones of your compagnons, which is quite a communicational issue.

Great selection of specialty cocktails and the classics. Their Vesper Martini was outstanding.

Classic old world decor. It’s a bucket list location up there with Harry’s bar and Ritz Paris. This cocktail bar combines the art of modern mixology with classic cocktails, set in an elegant atmosphere. Their fourteen or so unique cocktails and three mocktails all have one thing in common: they are partly classical recipes, but with a modern twist. Also the Gin & Tonic mixes are shaken up into contemporary hip sips. Think green velvet, brass, and cool cocktails

Service top notch . Even my glass of water was happy cause it was always full . Drinks with character . I have to mention Stavros . He made our evening an evening to remember . Thank you . Beautiful space a bit dark but .... Recommend without hesitation

Can’t say enough about this place. Service was impeccable and the food simply wow! Loved the ambience. Can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town. I Totally recomend it.

The drinks were great. They better be since each glass costs 20 euros. But they NEVER care about the guests waiting outside. I waited more than 10 minutes with no one attending. In fact, I found a disgusting slice of lime that seemed to be chewed by someone else under the crackers (a female blonde bartender, who was the only kind one, changed it for me, at least). Recommended if you only care about the taste of the drinks but not if you're looking for some service or hospitality. I paid the full price BTW.

I was having a great time with my husband website says they close at 1 am but did last cll at 12????? I tried to at least get a beer at bar and they said no because “cleaning” bar isn't even full it seems like workers just want to get out early it felt very rushed they definitely ruined our last night there what a shame

One of the best cocktail bars in Amsterdam. A very attractive menu, aesthetically pleasing, with beautifully presented drinks, and when you taste them, you won't be disappointed. They're delicious, surprising, and perfectly executed. Impeccable service. Thank you. We arrived without a reservation, and you very kindly found us a small table, telling us how much time we had left. It was perfect.

I stopped by Pulitzer’s Bar during the daytime to have a short conversation with a friend. I arrived first and sat down at a small two-person table that appeared to be empty and available. There was no sign or note on the table indicating it was reserved. After waiting a few minutes, my friend arrived. Only then did one of the waiters approach us and say that the table was reserved. He then placed a small note on the table that said “promised.” When I sat down earlier, that note was not there. If the table had truly been reserved, the staff could easily have informed me when I first sat down instead of waiting until my guest arrived. The explanation therefore felt unconvincing. What made the situation worse was the waiter’s attitude: he was unnecessarily rude, arrogant, and dismissive in the way he spoke to us. I did not want to create an awkward situation in front of my guest, so we simply left the bar area. However, being treated in such a condescending manner in a place like this was extremely disappointing. We ended up sitting in the hotel’s garden area instead, where the staff were welcoming, a complete contrast to the experience at the bar. I have visited this hotel several times before, both for the restaurant and for business meetings. Unfortunately, after this experience I will not be returning to Pulitzer’s Bar, nor would I risk bringing a guest there again. Such rude and arrogant behavior from staff is simply unacceptable in a venue located inside one of the city’s leading hotels.

Great bar in a cozy neighborhood. Food was decent and drinks were great!

Beautiful place and good coctails!

Conveniently located near the hotel entrance, with access to an internal garden, it's welcoming and elegant. The colorful furnishings help you relax while enjoying a drink or one of the menu items.

Great cocktails with nice and calm atmosphere. Service is also excellent.

We were very excited to come visit after watching Somebody Feed Phil. It’s absolutely gorgeous inside and very cozy. We went early in the day when it opened and ordered drinks at the bar. The servers and bartenders were very nice and service was good. But it definitely had an odd, standoffish vibe. Nobody seems to chat or interact with customers, all the servers just sat at the end of the bar chatting unless we needed something. Which maybe that’s the way it’s done here to avoid overstaying your welcome to patrons. But we were really happy to interact with people and learn about Amsterdam and other good places to visit but they really didn’t talk to us much despite answering our questions. Overall it felt more like a stuffy posh hotel bar (which i know it is so i guess shame on me?) and less like a local upscale cocktail spot. It was fine, not bad at all, but Bar Oldenof was top tier and more enjoyable.

We were so excited to come in for a cocktail before dinner nearby. We are a young couple and this was a big trip celebrating our anniversary. We were seated next to a man, his wife and daughter who immediately told us to sit somewhere else. He was extremely snobby and rude and a guest at the hotel. We ignored him, as the place was pretty crowded and couldn’t move but felt so uncomfortable. We ordered two cocktails and oysters but the oysters never came out. Not worth the price to feel extremely judged by rich people who are rude lol.

One of the most overpriced and pretentious cafes in the city. 15 euro for a mediocre glass of wine, 10 euro for a tiny sip of sherry. Waiters acting like you are lucky they allow you to sit here. What a place…

A classy bar with beautifully crafted cocktails and a warm, upscale vibe. Great music, cozy seating, and expert service make it a perfect stop for a drink near the canals.

The front of house wasn’t especially warm when we arrived, but welcoming enough. The bar wasn’t too crowded for a Friday night, and we asked to sit at the bar itself. The host said, “Sit anywhere you like,” so we did — leaving a two-seat gap on either side of us. The host immediately snapped, “Not there. It’s rude to leave onesies.” We weren’t, in fact (we’d specifically made sure not to), but we politely moved and awkwardly sat right next to the only other couple at the bar. For the next hour, the only people to come into the bar were… singles… and they sat wherever they liked… leaving one-seat gaps throughout the bar. Service in general was not warm, erring on rude. The house drinks were good in concept. I love a milk punch, and Pulitzer’s was lovely, but they served it with regular cube ice — enough that I had to hold the cubes down just to drink my cocktail. By the final third of the punch, it was genuinely hard to sip elegantly. This place has large ice cubes (they even brand them) for some of their special cocktails. Why not all of them? Or at least… why not the €20 milk punch? It would be a way better offering. My partner got the pistachio drink. Delicious, but tiny for €20. We live in San Francisco and London — I’m used to pricey cocktails — but the price has to be justified by craftsmanship. We repeated the experiment: the holiday special Chestnut Sour and the Vanilla Antique. The sour was lovely — light and a little sweet. The vanilla just tasted like a vanilla bomb but at least it came with the fancy ice cube. One last chance: we asked for their spin on a Negroni… and got a Negroni with low-quality mezcal, Campari, basic vermouth, and crappy small ice cubes. None of the drinks were strong pours. I had three drinks in under an hour, one of which was a milk punch, and I didn’t even feel it. Usually two drinks are more than enough for me. We also ordered food because we’d walked all the way to Pulitzer’s Bar. The fries were fine. The crispy shrimp dumplings were flavorless, and the portion was minuscule for €18. I read about this place on a Substack I subscribe to, and apparently everyone else in the bar did too — because every single patron was American or Australian. Not really what was promised.

Chic cocktails and innovate bartenders.

Beautiful space. Expertly crafted cocktails

Wonderful experience. I sat down at the bar with my dawter. We had 5 cocktails and some snacks. Nice music, good drinks, good service. Thank you guys.

10/10 . That‘s all i need to say

Poor cocktail selection (maybe 10 at most) , only two alcohol free options. Asked for a coffee, but they won't make it for you (although they use espresso in one of their cocktails). Cocktail is 30% liquid 70% ice block, for 20 eur a glass is a theft honestly. Would not suggest.

The service is great. The signature cocktails, which are apparently in partnership with a "fragrance house" from the US (so much so that you can not ask for changes to them) are hit and miss. The two people I was with had decent coktails but my two sognature cocktails felt both very very underpowered. They both tasted like mocktails, the spirits in them were not detectable at all. I was hoping for more at a price of around 20 euro per cocktail. In the end what both me and my company enjoyed more was the bar's interpretation of classic cokctails (not on the menu) rather than their signature ones. I had a great old fashioned and a friend a very good negroni, both tasting different and better then the what we were used to.

We were so glad the Concierge was able to accomodate our two tables of 4 reservation and place us at a larger table. The drink menu and their particular take on cocktails was ideal. Always a good problem when there are four or five cocktails you juat cant decide on which.

Beautiful space. Excellent team running the place. Posh, elegant atmosphere. Great music. Highly recommended. I did not enjoy the Italian red wine by the glass. The nose and taste were both odd. The other wines by the glass were great.

Lovely place! we popped by for a quick drink before dinner for my girlfriend’s birthday. The waiter immediately brought us 2 glasses of prosecco on the house, although I specified we came just for a quick drink in the reservation. The cocktails were really tasty! All in all nice experience! The prices are on par with other upper priced cocktail bars of Amsterdam.

Really grumpy waiter, for no reason. Not friendly.

Perfect Service, wonderful Drinks, Ambience was relaxed and chic!

Loved this bar. Dark and sexy atmosphere. Good drinks. Lovely view of the canal if at the front windows.

Pulitzer's Bar is one of Amsterdam's top cocktail destinations. Set inside the stunning Pulitzer Hotel, it feels like stepping back into the glamour of the 1920s–30s, with Art Deco elegance and canal views. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed, a perfect escape from the city buzz. Cocktails here are a true sensory journey: from smoky to floral, woody to citrusy, each creation unfolds sip by sip: bold, surprising, and unforgettable. A cocktail experience you won't forget, an absolute must in Amsterdam! Definitely one of the reference points for cocktails and drinks in Amsterdam. Pulitzer's Bar, inside the magnificent Pulitzer Hotel, is a timeless place: here, you feel like you've been catapulted back to the 1920s and 1930s, amidst Art Deco elegance and canal views. The atmosphere is refined but never forced, perfect for a break from the chaos of the city center. Cocktails are a true sensory journey: from smoky to floral and fresh notes, from resinous woods to vibrant citrus, each creation unfolds sip after sip, surprising and unforgettable. A mixology experience well worth it!

Amazing venue with incredible service. Servers were friendly and knowledgable. Bitterballen were good but don’t rate the rest of the food. The wine and cocktails though - out of this world!

Wonderful experience. The cocktails are just sublime. Quality and feels like a place with elegance

A truly beautiful bar within the hotel. The ambiance is just what you'd expect from a sophisticated cocktail bar. The service is top-notch and incredibly attentive. The cocktails are exceptional and superb. However, you should be aware that such quality comes at a price. So, if you're looking for an exceptional, stylish cocktail bar in Amsterdam, this is the place for you!

Delicious food and nice place!!! Recommended!!!✅✅✅

Planned a special visit and got treated like we didn’t belong. Allergies ignored, menu snatched from our hands “to avoid theft,” and zero respect from staff. If you enjoy paying high prices to be humiliated, congratulations — you found your spot.

Wow.. just absolutely wow. Service was impeccable, the drinks outstanding and the vibe incredible. Sometimes places out do themselves Thus is one of the places..

Two weeks ago, my partner and I visited your bar with high expectations, hoping for a refined cocktail experience in what we had heard was one of Amsterdam’s top-rated spots. We were initially pleased to be seated at a lovely table by the window — unfortunately, everything positive ended there. We found the cocktail menu disappointingly limited, with a noticeable lack of variety. The majority of the drinks featured Bacardi-based spirits, which felt more like a branding push than a curated selection for discerning guests. At €20 per cocktail, we expected a sophisticated and balanced drink — instead, they were underwhelming and noticeably lacking in alcohol content. To make matters worse, the attitude of the staff left much to be desired. The bartenders and servers came across as cocky and self-satisfied, seemingly more interested in projecting an image than delivering genuine hospitality. For a bar that markets itself as high-end, the service felt amateur and inattentive, far from the five-star experience one would expect. All in all, it was a disappointing evening that did not justify the price or the reputation. I hope you take this feedback seriously, as it reflects a gap between your brand image and the actual guest experience.

Amazing cocktails in a super relaxing, luxurious, speakeasy style setting. Don't expect food, and if you order the caviar expect a bit of a wait (I guess they don't get the order super often) but the cocktails are second to none. This is the equivalent (cocktail wise) of PDT in new York or tier in Berlin. Great ambiance.

Honestly came here because we seen it on a Netflix show ! & I was not disappointed. The espresso martini was the best i’ve ever tasted & the old fashioned was top notch ! The bartenders were very informative and fun to watch work. highly recommend

Everything absolutely 5-star. It started out with us trying to find the entrance from the street. We were just looking at the map, when we were asked if we need help by a stranger. Apparently the person worked at the Pulitzer hotel and even not being at work, he wanted to help us. Amazing! And the service at the bar was really attentive and top notch as well, not to mention their drinks. So it was a perfect ending to our weekend in Amsterdam. Thank you for making it special 🙏

A great and very professional environment. Perfect service from professional and kind people . The quality of the drinks was magnificent!!! Visited 2 of the 3 days that I stayed in Amsterdam !!

A bar with great atmosphere, very kind and professional stuff . I had an amazing experience enjoying my drink. We were served by Stavros which had amazing knowledge about the drinks and he helped us choose what to drink depends on our taste . He made us feel very welcoming!!!

Fun bar with strong drinks and cool vibes

Always a nice atmosphere and friendly staff🍸✨

A few years ago, we popped in the dark, swanky and cozy Pulitzer Bar during a light rain. Which is saying a lot considering all of Amsterdam is cozy. It became one of those memorable travel spots you never forget. The low lighting and luxurious club chairs make you feel like you were granted access to a speakeasy. Now, we live down the street and I always look at the faces of couples, friends and families who are making their own new memories.

Thanks to Philip for the great service. So we had an unforgettable evening.

Since we didn't eat, I can't rate it. We had a very nice evening and were served very courteously by Philip. The drinks were delicious and the service was great. We really liked the atmosphere too!

Cocktail were nice. Too too dark , i could not get a good vibe of space.

Impeccable service, excellent cocktails, both signatures and classics. Thank you for everything 🙂🍸

Vastly overpriced, wildly uninteresting. Walking into Pulitzer Bar, the decor is striking. It has a very distinct vibe and the atmosphere is great. The staff is kind. The menus, with interesting illustrations of each cocktail, make you excited about what’s to come. But what comes, is far from exciting. The cocktails, at around €20 per piece, are TINY. Which would be fine, if they were incredible and interesting… which they aren’t. They’re all very sweet and very uninspired when it comes to presentation. But the worst part is most definitely the bar bites. The blinis with caviar are “kwartje”-sized and contain a couple granules of caviar… for 27 EUROS FOR 3. The wagyu yakitori? 32 euros. PER SKEWER. We left with a bill that was 280 euros, not even the slightest buzz after 4 cocktails, and an empty stomach. If you’re going to do expensive cocktails and bar bites, do them right.

Amazing cocktails, spacious rooms and cosy lighting. The service is great and accommodating. And the beautiful view of the canals is everything It’s giving London vibes

Will remain to be one of my favourite cocktail bars of Amsterdam. A classic, laid-back bar with renewed cocktails. A must-go!

Good vibes. Nice music. And very good cocktails. Don’t like cocktails but the ones we had was mind bowing

A really nice and beautiful place. The bar is part of the hotel, so I recommend making a reservation because it can be a little crowded. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The drinks are delicious. I highly recommend visiting it.

We had a lovely pre-dinner drinks on New Year’s Eve at Pulitzer’s! My husband and I are on our first visit to Amsterdam. He had the Deja Vu (their spin on an old fashioned) and I had the Mirrie Dancers (their spin on a margarita), two rounds because we liked the drinks so much. The vibe was so cozy and it was dark but you could still see the canal. We loved our time and would highly recommend.

The perfect spot for a drink and some great snacks! Good vibe, tunes and super friendly staff too.

Realmente estábamos deseando este bar, pero tengo que decir que nos fuimos tan decepcionados como podríamos haber estado. ¡Qué clímax! El bar está en una zona tranquila de la ciudad, pero a un paseo del centro. Entramos en el bar e inmediatamente nos sorprendió el aspecto del bar. Esta fue la única vez que nos cautivaron durante nuestra visita. Tuvimos una pequeña espera y luego nos recibieron. Sorprendentemente nadie se ofreció a tomar nuestros abrigos que me pareció muy extraño. Nos sentamos en nuestros asientos asignados que eran cómodos. Eventualmente alguien nos compró el menú de bebidas. Pedimos una bebida cada uno y extrañamente el menú fue quitado de nosotros. ¡Muy raro! ¡Debería haber tomado la pista en este momento! Nuestras bebidas llegaron y fueron muy agradables. Sin embargo, ninguna persona vino a vernos o ver si queríamos otra bebida. Por cierto, ya que teníamos dos horas y media hasta que nuestra mesa estaba reservada para una cena. Lo que estaba pasando en el bar era claramente mucho más interesante que ofrecernos cualquier tipo de servicio. Así que después de una hora, veinte minutos de los cuales teníamos vasos vacíos, pagamos y nos fuimos. El dinero que ahorramos haciendo esto pagó nuestra comida y bebidas esa noche. Mi consejo sería evitar este lugar hay mejores y puedo decir sin dudarlo que es el peor servicio que he recibido en un bar de cócteles de 'alta gama'.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION 1 small beer and a small glass of white wine 40 Euros. Crazy money. No brake down on the bill as to what each item cost. I should have questioned the bill but when your under pressure from the staff you don't have time to think.

Thanks to Daan, for his perfectly made cocktails and his company throughout the evening. This place is perfect for having a drink with friends or as a couple. I advise you to go and sit at the bar directly if you are alone or accompanied. You will not be disappointed

El entorno es precioso en el Pulitzer Hotel. El bar está hacia la parte trasera del hotel, y está muy bien decorado. El personal no era demasiado amable, pero está bien. Pensé que el menú de bebidas era tan interesante y me encantó todo el esfuerzo que pusieron en él. Las bebidas eran de alrededor de 20 €, que es casi el doble de lo que pagaría en otros lugares. No me importó pagar 20€ por mi bebida, pero sí que el bloque de hielo rectangular de la clase era casi del tamaño de la copa, lo que significa que apenas había líquido. ¡Lo entendería si estuviera tomando licores en las rocas pero no un cóctel! La experiencia estuvo bien, no fue brillante.

Elite cocktails and snacks. Environment is perfect. Bar staff is superb. If you get the details, you'll get this place.

Swanky and comfortable hotel bar, cocktails were a bit pricey however worth it considering the good service and creativity.

As a guest of the hotel, I visited this bar with a client upon landing in the afternoon. My client and I inquired with the extremely rude bartender as to whether they served light bites, given the lobby bar was full. He aggressively replied to us "Ma'am, this is a cocktail bar. Why would we serve food?" I was mortified at this response, considering I was with a client, and also a paying hotel guest. Based on this terrible interaction, I would not recommend this bar to anyone, as there are far superior bar options in the area, especially in other actual five-star hotels.

Nice atmosphere and good quality of coctails

Como huésped del hotel, visité este bar con un cliente al aterrizar por la tarde. Mi cliente y yo preguntamos con el camarero extremadamente grosero si servían bocados ligeros, dado que el bar del vestíbulo estaba lleno. Él nos respondió agresivamente "Señora, esto es un bar de cócteles. ¿Por qué serviríamos comida? " Me mortificó esta respuesta, considerando que estaba con un cliente, y también un huésped de pago del hotel. Basado en esta terrible interacción, no recomendaría este bar a nadie, ya que hay opciones de hotel de cinco estrellas reales muy superiores en la zona.

Unfriendly staff. Customer is not appreciated. Not recommended.

Self-proclaimed on their social media the Pulitzer's Bar boast 'The glamour of long lost times enters the modern day at this timeless classic hotel bar' which unfortunately was not the case. Our experience on Friday 4th of October at approx 6:45pm was more along the lines of rude service with a 40 minute wait on two cocktails and maître d' indifference leading to a complaint and departure without any experience of 'timeless classic hotel bar'. We had to leave before the cocktails arrived or anyone provided an update / apology on the delay as we had a dinner reservation [thankfully, elsewhere] When we politely tried to engage with the waiter, we were abruptly reminded that it was "Friday, so very busy". Undoubtedly true and we were fully aware as it was a special occasion we were celebrating. I appreciate that these 'trendy' establishments are a far cry away from the genuine luxury hotel industry in Amsterdam [The Dylan, Pillows Hotels, Waldorf Astoria] but please don't pretend to be 'glamourous' or 'timeless'. Indeed what seems to be truly long lost at Pulizer's Bar is a quality experience of genuine hospitality. A comment like this is bound to get lost in the ether of influencers oblivious to the service in sacrifice of the photo, so keep raking in the money due to your location.

This place takes you back in time! Makes you feel like you’re at a private little club in the 50s!

The worst service I’ve seen in Amsterdam. Rude rude host and bartenders Deposit for reservation, but if you come 10 min before your reservation they just close the door in front of you and say to wait. Cocktail are not great and very expensive for what it is If you want to have a really good time go to The Dylan!!

Bad service, drinks with no charm and no flavor. Bland and flavorless It wasn't even worth the visit

Classy, good drinks, good service!

Las reglas no tienen ningún sentido, no se supone que seas más de 4 en una mesa. Si hablas con la mesa de al lado, el camarero vendrá y te dirá que se supone que debes quedarte a tu mesa.

My recent visit to Pulitzer's Bar was nothing short of a disaster. From the moment we walked in, the service was extremely slow and inattentive. It took far too long for anyone to acknowledge us, let alone take our orders. The cocktails we eventually tried were mediocre at best, with a very limited selection that left much to be desired. However, the most shocking aspect of our experience was the fraudulent behavior I encountered. I made a reservation for a table on September 7th at 18:30. However, due to unforeseen circumstances—specifically, heavy rain that delayed our taxi—I called a manager at 18:02 to inform them that my friend and I would be late. Furthermore, my friend called from her phone while we were in the taxi to confirm that our reservation under my name was still valid and that we were simply delayed. We were assured over the phone that everything was fine and that we need not worry. We arrived at the bar around 19:10 and paid our bill of €118 at 23:04. To my shock, on the following day, I discovered that a penalty of €25 was deducted from my account at 19:18 on September 7th—while we were already inside the bar and reviewing the menu. The waiter did not inform us of this penalty at any time during our visit. Upon reviewing bar’s booking policy on the website, it explicitly states that "For no-shows or late cancellations, you will be subject to a fee of €25 per reservation." However, we did not cancel our reservation, and we arrived at the bar, having notified the bar twice of our delayed arrival. For the past three days, I have attempted to resolve this issue through email correspondence with bar’s establishment. Initially, I was promised that the situation would be looked into, but now my emails are being completely ignored. Overall, I cannot recommend Pulitzer's Bar. The combination of slow service, subpar cocktails, and this outrageous fraud leaves a lot to be desired. I would advise anyone considering a visit to think twice and choose a place that values their customers.

My experience was lovely, their signature cocktails are very good, and they were able to make some classics that I ordered. Food was really great, it suprised me to be honest,

Always a pleasure to return to this bar. One of the nicer venues I have visited. Great service and delicious (if pricey) cocktails. Great date night venue.

A lovely bar with very friendly service.

Needed to wait more than 20 minutes for a menu, then didn’t receive waters. And struggled the rest of the night to get any attention from the waiters. Another 20 minute wait for the check after asking 3 times. The bartenders were kind, but it was clear that they’re very understaffed

Such a cute bar! 😍. Delicious inventive flavors.

Fui a este bar durante unos días de estancia por trabajo. Fui antes de cenar, a tomar un cóctel de aperitivos. Me fui más tarde de lo esperado, después de beber no uno sino dos cócteles. Excelentemente preparado y servido. El personal (también italiano aquí) era muy atento, servicial y amable. Una agradable sorpresa a su llegada a Holanda. Ya vuelvo.

Overly polished to look nice on the outside, but in reality it’s just full of horrible attitude from the staff

Beautiful! The attentive and attentive service, the delicious cocktails and the wonderful setting. Stunning little gem in Amsterdam.

They still make really good cocktails in the Pullitzer's Bar. Top quality and as a visitor I would definitely recommend the garden. A pearl in the heart of Amsterdam. You will love to come back here for more fine cocktails, snacks and a relaxed atmosphere. Pullitzer's Bar is a pleasure.

Constantly overlooked by staff with attitude
