Fitz’s Bar Amsterdam Fitz’s Bar has a luxurious and meticulously designed menu with a clear concept of cocktails. Each chapter takes patrons on a journey, with one exploring the aromatic realm of perfumes and another delving into the medicinal world of herbs and bitters. Let yourself be carried away by the rhythmic sounds of jazz music as you indulge in a handcrafted cocktail infused with the spirit of the Golden Age. Fitz’s Bar celebrates the timeless elegance and unmatched allure of the past while simultaneously putting a contemporary twist on classic flavours and traditions. The cocktails are inspired by icons, moments and products of the roaring 20’s all designed and created with modern techniques and look & feel. Our philosophy is to have serve layered drinks with a little story which links back to the time of 1920’s.   Mauritskade 61, Amsterdam   Opening hours bar: Tuesday to Thursday 17.00 – 00.00 hrs Friday and Saturday 16.00 – 01.00 hrs

Rosalia’s Menagerie is a small seating-only cocktail bar, inspired by Amsterdam’s menageries of the 17th and 18th centuries. The bar is a collection of curious stories. It’s filled with vintage finds, and everything that inspires the team. Here, tales are in every nook and cranny. The seasonal menu features a constantly changing selection of signature cocktails. Both nifty reinventions of all-time classics and bespoke drinks that showcase wonderful local ingredients. The drink in your glass could be inspired by the past, the present, facts and fables, the near and the far. Rosalia’s Menagerie is a dedicated ambassador of Dutch genever. And if you ever wonder what’s behind the hidden door in the back, rest assured—at Rosalia’s they aren’t keeping a lion under the stairs like some did in historical menageries. Pinky promise. But there might be a hidden boutique inn somewhere upstairs.   Kloveniersburgwal 20, 1012 CV Amsterdam   18:00 – 01:00   rosalias.amsterdam   Name of the Alcohol & non-Alcohol Brand(s) you will be working with:   Rutte Dutch Dry Gin   Koala Highball: Damrak 0.0, Eucalyptus & patchouli cordial*, Soda water Strong Aroma Baijiu, 52% ABV, www.chemsterdam.com, Insta: PANDALovesSpirits, FB: https://www.facebook.com/hans.ngo.wurfbain/

Opening a bar in the middle of a pandemic, that can only be considered Courage; Dutch Courage! opened on the 6th of August 2020 on Zeedijk number 12, perhaps THE most iconic and historic street of Amsterdam. It was here where the spices were first traded. It was here where spirits were exchanged for them, and it still is home to some of the most typical and famous stores, bars and restaurants of the country. Dutch Courage celebrates Dutch spirit, liqueur and beer history, but just like Amsterdam is a melting pot of cultures, so Dutch Courage features ingredients from all over the world. It is also home to the world’s only Kopstoot Automatiek, a machine dispensing ice cold combo’s of tasty beers with a genever on the side.

Bar concept Like most countries, in the Netherlands people are getting more and more aware of what they eat and where it comes from. Slowly the Dutch consumer is starting to think, not only about what they eat, but also about what they drink. Because of this, a true cocktail culture emerges. The consumer is more knowledgeable about food, but is still somewhat lost when it comes to cocktails. Slowly the Dutch are exploring the wonderful world of mixology, but they don’t know the difference between existing recipes and the signature creations of the different bars. Worldwide renowned bartenders Tess Posthumus and Timo Janse believe you can compare the cocktail industry with the restaurant business. You can easily prepare a quick meal at home, cook an extensive dinner or order a classic dish at a restaurant nearby. There are a lot of different ways of cooking, all the way up to the food chefs get their Michelin stars with. This could be new signature creations or reconstructed/deconstructed classics. But before a Michelin Star chef can deconstruct Eggs Benedict in order to puzzle it back together into a star worthy dish, the guest needs to know what Eggs Benedict are. The Dutch cocktail culture is still in its infancy. An international Renaissance of the Cocktail is happening, but in the Netherlands there never was a Golden Age of cocktails. The Dutch drinking culture focussed on beer, wine, genever and liqueurs, which were all enjoyed straight up. Mixing drinks was often considered something too fancy for the sober Dutch and cocktails were only prepared in American focused hotelbars. These days the cocktail is trending and Dutch bartenders are looking abroad and on Instagram for inspiration, while the knowledge of the different preparation methods, techniques and classic recipes are often not mastered yet. Tess caught herself giving the same jury feedback after competitions more often ‘You need to learn how to walk, before you can start running’. And to create a true cocktail culture in the Netherlands, we must first learn the classics. At Flying Dutchmen Cocktails we want to teach the Dutch bartender and their guests how to walk, run, and eventually fly through the world of cocktails. We do this by taking a step back. Back to the base. Back to the classics. Flying Dutchmen teaches their guests and the bar industry something about the profession of bartending, about the stories behind the spirits, about existing recipes and about the bartenders who created these classic cocktails. The educational character of the bar shines during the day with consumer workshops and training programs for hospitality professionals, and casually at night with a classic cocktail focused menu and a monthly guest bartender program. We want to make everyone who enters Flying Dutchmen fall in love with the wonderful world of cocktails.
