β β β β β We absolutely love this place. A tribute to Lucas Bols who brought spices from Indonesia in 1501 and created the flavored alcohol known as Genever in the Netherlands ( but doesn't taste like gin, much better) comparable to Gin. A tour of the place will give you a history of the distillery including his handwritten recipe book and equipment he used. Then you end up in a modern cocktail bar where you savor hundreds of cocktails using genever. There is also a cocktail making class. We come here every time in Amsterdam and never get tired of savoring true genever! We like it straight like it is served traditionally.

β β β β β The tour was fun, especially when we got to smell the different types of scents distilled. I didn't enjoy my drink, so I ordered a second drink. I ordered an old fashioned, and it was so sweet I couldn't drink it. It didn't have any of the qualities of an old fashioned. I have had several types of Bols, and they are delicious!!!! I think that the bartender was a bit off today.

β β β β β So the museum itself you can finish in like 15 mins. However, I really recommend doing the cocktail workshop. We got to understand how all the tools worked and enjoyed a few cocktails at their bar. They teach you simple tricks to make delicious cocktails and you can choose your flavours.

β β β β β The cocktails are great, the museum is small, but interesting, all in all it is worth the 16 euro entry, you can chose your cocktail at the end, the barman was friendly and professional! Only regret that we couldn't have more cocktails ?

β β β β β Interesting museum about the history of Bols genever and its liquors! Museum is well designed around all human sensory systems, and gives a great experience (just like you would expect from a good cocktail!). I would highly recommend picking the premium ticket, as the value of the gift you receive is already the same as the extra cost.

β β β β β We booked the mixology course and were highly satisfied with the experience! The bartender was humorous, extremely motivated and amiable! They are really generous, for the price we paid we received two free professionally prepared drinks and a tour around the museum! We'll be looking forward to return :)
