A very cool tip for you guys when the queue at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh museum is too long. Just across you’ll find the House of Bols. It’s called Cocktail and Genever Experience and that’s what it is. The design is just spectacular, like a proper experience should look like but there’s also some history on cocktails and genever, the most popular spirit in the Netherlands. Foremost it’s a lifestyle experience where you can drink the most amazing cocktails and Bols liqueurs, all included with the entrance fee. You shouldn’t miss it! Especially not the flair bartending cabin where you can film yourself copying Tom Cruise in Cocktail ;-) Really funny! Address: Paulus Potterstraat 14, Amsterdam (across Van Gogh museum)

Thanks for the post, C.

How expensive is it??..i will be in Amsterdam in a few weeks and it sounds like something fun to do!!

Darn, another reason to go back. Genever is a wonderful wonderful thing... ;-)

Thanks Chris. I love genever but usually drink Ketel 1. The bottle is nearly identical to the vodka bottle which they sell in the USA.
