Tucked away in Amsterdam, Hiding in Plain Sight is a chic cocktail bar where expertly crafted drinks meet cozy intimacy, all served by a passionate team.
"The Dutchies are famous for their beer, but if you're looking for something stronger, HIPS (Hiding in Plain Sight) is a charming cocktail bar with elegant and artsy cocktails. A hidden gem just outside the city centre. It is a small place, so we would recommend to make a reservation, especially on the weekends!" - Resoluut
"Hiding in Plain Sight is indeed just that—there’s no signage out front, not to mention a next-to-nil online presence. The menu changes periodically, but no matter what’s on it, cocktail fanatics will appreciate the use of more obscure spirits like grassy sotol, a liquor akin to tequila and mezcal from Mexico’s Chihuahuan Desert. Sink into the comfy seats upstairs if you plan on staying a while and get your fill of the free popcorn. The space is snug, so make a reservation if you don’t want to have to wait for a spot to open up." - paolo espanola

"If you looked up "hipster" in the dictionary, it's likely there'd be a picture of Hiding in Plain Sight (or HPS, as locals call it)—and the clientele here would be the first to acknowledge it. Before you roll your eyes at the waiters in vests with waxed moustaches, take a sip of your cocktail; it's likely one of—if not the—best in the city. HPS is also a hangout for local musicians, so check the calendar in advance to find out if anyone's playing while you're in town. "
