Rosalia's Menagerie in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

I was thrilled!! Thanks for the wonderful conversation after closing time and the excellent cocktails I was able to try. Navy Geranium is amazing,

We did strumble in by lucky accident while looking at the city before dinner reservations. Its such a nice and cozy place. There are not too many tables so u got to be lucky to get a seat. You ring the bell and have to wait at the door until let in. The service was great, everyone was so nice and friendly. The Drinks are not your usual, borinh Cocktails but creative in name and taste, in a good way. Drinksbwere great! You also get free Water with your Drinks, which was a nice plus. 10/10, would go again in a heartbeat.

Lots of drinks. Quite expensive. Fun maple restaurant.

Small bar with really good signature cocktails and very friendly service. Highly recommended.

This is a small bar at the Rosalia Hotel. They have a wide selection of drinks and make excellent cocktails.

One of my favorite spots in Amsterdam. Such a small, slightly hidden place that serves the most delicious cocktails. Make sure to come here whenever you’re in town!

Great experience, very quiet and beautifully decorated. I highly recommend it; the cocktails are very elaborate and the servers are very friendly!

Delicious drinks, really cool vibe. We sat at the bar, the bartenders were very friendly. Cool speakeasy vibe.

If you're looking for a cocktail bar in Amsterdam that goes beyond the ordinary, stop searching. Rosalia's Menagerie isn't just a place for drinks; it's an entire, intimate experience that completely captures your heart. Tucked away in a cozy, spotlessly clean space, this "menagerie" perfectly balances vintage charm with modern mixology. The Drinks: Creative Excellence Forget the basic menu. Their cocktail selection is a work of art—truly creative and unique, offering interesting twists that make every sip an adventure. You'll be spoiled for choice with their great selection, which clearly highlights a passion for innovative drinks. The atmosphere is set by an absolutely fantastic playlist. It's the kind of music that makes you want to settle in for the night. And yes, you can actually take the good times home, follow their playlist on Spotify! The team here is the lifeblood of the bar. The staff are genuinely friendly and enthusiastic, making you feel welcome from the moment you step inside. They contribute so much to the warm, engaging energy of the place. Sure, the space is small, but that only adds to its charm and intimacy. It's the perfect size for a night out with friends, turning a casual evening into a special memory. Bottom line: Rosalia's Menagerie is a must-visit. It's a clean, creative, and endlessly cool spot that deserves a top-shelf recommendation.

We stayed here for my birthday (3 nights) because a friend recommended it - and this is us passing along the recommendation to whoever reads this. You won’t regret staying here and/or enjoying cocktails. The owners made my birthday special with room decorations, two free cocktails, and just overall being extremely helpful and kind. The service was great and the breakfast was delicious, as well. We’d explore during the day and end our night with a cocktail here. The bartenders are exceptional and really go out of their way to give you a one-of-a-kind experience. It’s also a great, central location. We’ll definitely stay here again. To the entire team - thank you for a special bday!

VERY cool place! It's a tiny bar with only a sign on the door and you must buzz to be let in and only if there's room. There's very limited space so better with a small group (2-4 people). The cocktails are very fancy and fun and the ambiance is super cool. It's expensive but you get what you pay for and you pay for quality and super interesting cocktail design. We did not order food so cannot comment on that.

Very good drinks and super nice staff. Gabrielle and Luca are very nice people and made us feel very welcome

A bar like it used to be: loud, laughing, and good pints. The DJ plays what he wants, the crowd does what they want. Sometimes a bit edgy, sometimes hilarious. The staff keeps things under control with a wink. Never boring, always something to talk about.

Great cocktail! Lovely service, very attentive.

Some of the best cocktails we've had in a while! Would definitely highly suggest especially if you are staying bear Amsterdam centraal station! Everyone was super thoughtful and kind as well. Honestly really great!

Nice atmosphere and good service. The cocktails were not good enough. Too sweet (The Parfumist), or watery (Final ward)

Such a whimsical place, has speakeasy feels. You have to ring a doorbell in order to enter. Its small, cozy and has a private atmosphere. Quiet on the outside, busy and alive on the inside. Cocktails here are bomb! Attaching photos.

A nice, cozy bar with excellent service.

As I was making my rounds through the Amsterdam nightlife on my Long layover before flying back to California. I deeply enjoyed stumbling across this bar, truly a gem. A very Cute/sassy sweet bartender and his barback sidekick kept me fully entertained with fun facts, quick wit and tasty beverages. For sure a must visit.

Divine A superb, well-crafted cocktail unlike any other. A super cozy place. Go there with your eyes closed!

The concept is good, they work with botanist to create their cocktail menu and the interior design looks great!

Unique cocktails that are very well thought out and tasty. Stand out mixologist. The staff are very friendly and attentive. A top cocktail bar in Ams

You have to wait outside the door to be let in, which is alright and makes sense since it’s a small space. However, my friend arrived there and was seated at a table before me. When I arrived a few minutes later, I stood outside waiting to be let in, but nobody came. Eventually, my friend came to the door to get me and we both went inside to our table. As soon as I sat down, the waiter (or perhaps owner) scolded my friend for opening the door without permission from them, because other people could have come in behind me, and asked her to not do it again the next time we come here. I was the only one waiting outside and there was no one else behind me wanting to get in, so his comment, said in rather rude and condescending way, was really not necessary. This kind of ruined the whole experience. If we had accidentally let other people in, then his comment would have made sense and we would have absolutely respected it, but that simply did not happen. It just gave off the impression that they are quite snob. The cocktails themselves tasted alright, some better than others, but were rather overpriced for what you get.

Review is for the hotel: This is a beautiful boutique-style hotel with a lot of character. It is not a full-service property with a reception desk, which adds to the charm. Each morning there is a lovely breakfast, and the setup is quite unique. When you return in the evening you walk through the cocktail lounge, past a sliding door, and head upstairs to your room. I found it very charming, though some travelers might prefer a more traditional hotel layout. The location is excellent and very central. Even though it is above a cocktail lounge, the rooms are well insulated and I did not notice any noise from below. During my stay there was some construction noise outside my room, which I believe was temporary and outside of the hotel’s control and awareness. Overall it was a really good stay. The staff were kind, the property is beautiful, and I would happily return.

Very overrated experience and overpriced cocktails. The staff also had the audacity to ask for tip and also made a point of asking for it when paying. I found one of the staff members to be unkempt and rude. The staff also speak to each other in Italian (which I have no problem with) but when you have the feeling that they are gossiping then it becomes unprofessional. Overall, Rosalia in concept is very cool but in reality is a miss.

What awesome drinks. Don't miss this place. Highly recommended!

Recommended! Unique drinks, very friendly staff and beautiful interior.

I wish I was living in this city to drink the Coffee Express again and again and again. What a wonderful place and kind staff.

Very nice cocktail bar with super friendly Italian staff. I'm not a cocktail expert, but I really liked the one I had. So much variety, I'll definitely be back.

Our absolute favorite bar in Amsterdam for several years. We come every time we're in the city and are always impressed.

Awesome service and great drinks!!

Beautiful venue, small and elegant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The cocktails are exceptional and perfectly mixed. A must-try.

Brilliant place to stay in the heart of Amsterdam! Charming, clean rooms, welcoming staff and brilliant cocktails and snacks. Really loved the fact that you enter via the cocktail bar downstairs - such a quirky, fun touch. Breakfast was great too - highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Awesome cocktails, awesome atmosphere. I definitely recommend it, it's a little gem in Amsterdam.....!!!!!!!

Delicious cocktails and a nice, cozy atmosphere :) The service was also excellent

Worth a trip to Amsterdam just to visit this gem. The most hospitable owners have created a cocktail haven - perfectly mixed and served with love. A great spot for foodies on a walking tour.

Cozy hotel with cocktail bar on the ground floor, nice rooms and very good breakfast. Steep stairs up to the rooms, so not suitable for someone with poor walking skills.

Given all these positive reviews, I was expecting something superb. Well, no. Expensive cocktail and tiny quantity. The setting, the waiters, and the neighborhood were the only positive points. I won't be going back. There are much better options elsewhere.

Simply brilliant. From the beginning to end the service was A1. Cocktails were prepared with skill and you could see by watching the bar tenders that they had a real zeal and passion for their creations. It was a very opulent setting but the staff were relaxed and welcoming to everyone. Go, just go and be treated well and served with class.

It's a bit hidden no sign's. But from the first moment that you have to ring the bell you build anticipation. Lello welcomed me at the door and together with Edoardo they created a super friendly and homie environment. Beautiful place overall ,cozy , and chill . Bravo . Menu inspired from fruits vegetables and herbs , ultra summery super flavorfull and playfull . Bravo guys and thank you . Recommend 100%. Chrysanthemum paloma 🤤

Super nice cocktails and atmosphere, definitely coming back!

Cosy bar. Very nice staff. Nice cocktails. I would prefer more smokey and sour options, but the ones we got were also good.

Amazing cocktails and friendly bartenders.

Very cozy speakeasy vibes with inventive cocktails inspired by the seasons. Service was as lovely as the drinks.

What a gem. These guys know how to run a small, quaint cocktail bar. Drinks come fast, Edoardo, the Italian stallion, pours drinks as fast as a Ferrari pista 488. The quality, forget about it. Are you Texan and want a Mexican Candy shot? Get ready for the fanciest Mexican Candy you have ever seen. To finish your experience get the beer finished in buffalo trace barrels. Tastes like the only sour beer that you will actually enjoy. Arrivederci!

Holy batwings! This place is fantastic. They know how to mix and the vibe is so right. Nice job!!!

Excellent place. Very well-appointed. The drinks are incredible, and the service is excellent! 100% recommended.

Delicious drinks, and the option to eat cheeses and nuts to accompany your drink (even though the kitchen is closed! Good! Happy with that!). The drinks are very original, you won't find them anywhere else, and that's the charm: drinking here is an experience you won't repeat anywhere else; the drinks are small but have a strong personality. Come if you can, but know that this isn't a place to get drunk, but rather to savor and enjoy a good drink.

This cocktail bar has a great vibe, with unique, creative drinks and an interesting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely worth checking out!

Best drinks in this side of town or maybe all of Ams

Brilliant, go there with your eyes closed! The cocktails are divine, the bites are excellent, and the service is top-notch! We had a sublime evening! I recommend it, one of the best places in Amsterdam.

Everything was excellent. The bar tender was prepared and very friendly, the cocktails were good and seasonal, since they are seasonal I don't recommend any drink in particular in this review, but go and you won't be disappointed. The snacks were also excellent, we recommend the mixed hazelnuts, peanuts and cashews as they made them and they really tasted good. Thanks again Luca!

Lovely bar in the heart of the city, looks understated from the outside. You have to ring the buzzer and someone (eventually) comes to open for you. This is also a good way to manage crowds inside :) The drinks were quite something but also not cheap , which is expected for the city centre😅 but worth the experience nonetheless. The guys working the bar are super attentive and can literally make you any classic drink even if not in their main menu.

The drinks are incredible, and the service is fantastic. There isn’t a long line on a Friday night, so while they don’t take reservations you probably won’t have to wait. I recommend trying the Rosalia's Triptych for food, as the cheese, the olives, and the meat are very flavorful and a great combination with the cocktails.

Wonderful atmosphere, cozy, intimate, very good cocktails, it smelled really nice in there, perfect sound level, easy to talk, pleasant staff. Everything we were looking for! I really recommend to visit this bar for a couple of cocktails. Reminds me of a speak easy bar, since you have to ring the door bell to enter this somewhat hidden bar. Just south of 15€ per cocktail, so we had three each.

Amazing, great service and awesome bartender 👍🏼

A very exciting concept; you can tell the owners put a lot of love into the details. You definitely won't get your average cocktails. It's easy to miss, and you have to ring the bell and wait to be let in. Exciting!

This cocktail bar is truly exceptional. The interior design is unique and creates a memorable atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The staff are highly professional and genuinely friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The cocktails themselves are one of a kind – expertly crafted, well-balanced, and full of character. A perfect spot for cocktail enthusiasts and anyone looking for a refined night out.

This bar has an amazing ambiance and delicious drinks! They have a seasonal inspired menu and all the cocktails are super original and well crafted. They also service snacks to accompany your drinks. The bar is located right beside the Red Light district, so perfect place to grab a drink in the evening! Service is great, everyone is super friendly! It’s a nice speak easy themed bar and we loved it!

Unnecessarily rude staff. Four people left and they kept us waiting outside while we saw the staff just standing at the bar. They are trying to be an exclusive bar, but they are just acting unprofessional.

This is a small gem. Knowledgeable and engaging bartenders

We were looking for a bar to have a drink in a quiet bar and came across this nice and cozy place by chance. The staff is very friendly and ready to tell you about the cocktails. The seasonal menu is original and we don't know which one to choose... The music is pleasant, in a word this bar is highly recommended ❤️.

Bar very nice with friendly service. However, the drinks are tiny and very expensive.

It was very tasty. Cocktail list is varied enough to surprise any gourmet. Service is top. I want to go there again.

A beautiful place to discover in Amsterdam. Delicious cocktails and snacks available as accompaniments. I recommend. Very welcoming and attentive staff.

Nice "hidden" bar. Cocktails prices are okay and the bitterballen were quite tasty. My favourite drink was the Sicilian Sour #2, also tried the strawberry/hibiscus, but still preferred the first drink

For us the best cocktails in Amsterdam! Super innovative combinations in a very charming bar with great service. We thought that having to ring the bell to be let in was a great idea to keep the bar quiet. The only idea: since the concept was herbs and flowers in the current spring, I would have been happy to see a few herbs or flowers in the glass and not “just” liquid. Overall, the look of the drinks could have been a little more exciting as the taste is 10/10

Extremely good cocktails, super friendly and fun staff, atmosphere and decor stylish and quirky. You might need to wait outside to get in but it is worth it!

Amazing little cocktail bar. Super creative approachable drinks, wonderful bartenders. Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved Rosalia's Menagerie! It's a small and intimate bar with gorgeous, eclectic decor and the most delicious (seasonal!) cocktails. I tried the Sicilian Sour #2 (apricot brandy, fig leaf liqueur, lemon juice, gomme and egg white) and it was so good I had to pace myself. To top it all off, Andra the host was an absolute delight. Note that they don't take reservations, so consider showing up around opening time.

Fine, Calm, Friendly Talkative and delicious. want to visit again. Ciao !

Very private environment, good service.

Could not recommend a better place for cocktails and service. Amazing people

One of the highlights of our trip to amsterdam! The cocktails were super good and andra was very professional and she really was the sweetest. Will definitely come back next time!!

Awesome cocktail lounge with a lovely relaxed feel. Excellent drinks reasonably priced. I'll be back.

You pay quite a bit here but that is also reflected in the quality of the drinks, good service and delicious cocktails. Recommended!

Small spot with a small crew, you can expect to wait on a busy night

My favorite cocktail bar, classics with a twist, always delicious and the staff is super friendly ♥️

i’ve been here multiple times and every time the drinks are delicious, the service is amazing, and the vibes are just about perfect! can’t recommend it more

Nice cocktail bar in Amsterdam. Cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staffs. Cute interior inside. Cozy to sit there. Very interesting cocktail, all has nice touch. Tasty and fun. Seasonal menu.

Absolutely the best cocktails I've ever had! The bar staff are geniuses and super friendly and nice! Luna and Eduardo were excellent we'd like it so much we went back another night!

Really cute venue, the people who are Working here are really nice as well. Shout out to Luca who take care of me and my friends the whole week. I had to thank him by offering him a Fernet Shot to him and the team! See you next time

Adorable little cocktail bar, nice ambiance and atmosphere. Not many seating options, very intimate and suitable for romantic dates. We got martinis and spicy margaritas. Very skilled bartender. Recommend!

An amazing cocktails bar in the heart of Amsterdam, it was suggested to me by a local friend. The place is small and cozy. It was very classy yet modern vibes. The staff were nice and friendly. The service was quick and excellent. The cocktails, especially the signature ones, are really delicious. The price was great for the value of what we ordered. It's top notch quality. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a great night out in Amsterdam.

Probably the best cocktail bar in Amsterdam! Perfectly located, close to the central station and the red light district, Rosalia’s has a sophisticated yet cozy environment! The same is not too big, giving a sense of exclusivity, so make sure you book your table in advance. The cocktails are absolutely amazing! Very creative, many different options, an inspirational menu where the hard part is to pick one! I strongly recommend a visit to this amazing place!

Wonderful atmosphere and great cocktails. The Romanian girl who served us was lovely and very helpful, we had a lot of great combinations with her guidance and everything was on spot. We appreciated the experience for the first time in Amsterdam and we will definitely return and recommend the location to our friends!

Andra is the best she really made the atmosphere of the place feel so welcoming and had so much insight too, she helped us choose the most amazing and delicious drinks! If you are ever in Amsterdam definitely try!!!

professional cocktail bar A place where people take pride in knowing what they are doing and doing it well. At first I came because I wanted to drink absinthe. Looks like they're no longer selling it The atmosphere is great and the drinks are quite delicious.

Hi, I've been in a city break in Amsterdam, and among others we find this little gem. We've had a few cocktails each in a cozy corner, no-one talking too loud, nobody staring or impolite. Perfect cocktails, perfect service, perfect atmosphere! Affordable prices. Definitely worth trying!! Very good job guys!!

The service is very good. They make beautiful aromatic cocktails.

Great little cocktail bar! Have to buzz to get in so it felt a bit like a speakeasy! Will definitely go again

A little hidden nugget. The cocktails are excellent. Very pleasant atmosphere for a speakeasy. Little favorite for the ephemeral cocktail: walker’s campfire

Came for drinks, Barmen told me that they closed, and will open on 18:30. I came on 18:30, they were closed, told me 5 minutes, after 15 minutes they were still closed and I leave.

Nice cocktails and ambiance. Highly recommend. Also, the bartender has a sweet mustache.

Great drinks, friendly staff. Super fun, do recommend.

15€ for one of the blandest Espresso Martinis I‘ve had in my life was quite painful. 🥲 The service was impecabile but I definitely didn‘t feel welcomed.

Friendliest staff in Amsterdam you can find! Also by far the tastiest tequila sunrise! Its definitely a special place with amazing tastes. Be friendly and kind to staff and you will have a memorable night for sure :)

Cocktails were excellent and well priced! The staff were friendly to me but not always nice to others.

Very delicious and unique cocktails. The place is quite small, but with a nice, ‘speakeasy’-ish atmosphere!

Nice experience with ringing the bell to get in, the overall atmosphere and the clothing of the staff. Cocktails were definitely well made & delicious! Only on the small side, which made the price a bit high. They work with a seasonal menu, so you won't find the standard cocktails here. Menu for snacks quite boring/poor.
