Pulitzer's Bar

Lovely place! we popped by for a quick drink before dinner for my girlfriend’s birthday. The waiter immediately brought us 2 glasses of prosecco on the house, although I specified we came just for a quick drink in the reservation. The cocktails were really tasty! All in all nice experience! The prices are on par with other upper priced cocktail bars of Amsterdam.

Beautiful space. Excellent team running the place. Posh, elegant atmosphere. Great music. Highly recommended. I did not enjoy the Italian red wine by the glass. The nose and taste were both odd. The other wines by the glass were great.

Two weeks ago, my partner and I visited your bar with high expectations, hoping for a refined cocktail experience in what we had heard was one of Amsterdam’s top-rated spots. We were initially pleased to be seated at a lovely table by the window — unfortunately, everything positive ended there. We found the cocktail menu disappointingly limited, with a noticeable lack of variety. The majority of the drinks featured Bacardi-based spirits, which felt more like a branding push than a curated selection for discerning guests. At €20 per cocktail, we expected a sophisticated and balanced drink — instead, they were underwhelming and noticeably lacking in alcohol content. To make matters worse, the attitude of the staff left much to be desired. The bartenders and servers came across as cocky and self-satisfied, seemingly more interested in projecting an image than delivering genuine hospitality. For a bar that markets itself as high-end, the service felt amateur and inattentive, far from the five-star experience one would expect. All in all, it was a disappointing evening that did not justify the price or the reputation. I hope you take this feedback seriously, as it reflects a gap between your brand image and the actual guest experience.

Cocktails 10/10 Honestly one of my top three favorite bars in Amsterdam. The drinks are superior and made with quality ingredients. No hangovers here. My favorite drink was the Avantgarde Caipirinha. Also the espresso martini. Service 10/10 The staff is extremely professional and polite. They even write down some restaurant recommendations for us! Atmosphere 10/10 Beautiful cozy spot with dark dreamy lighting. Clean bathrooms. And a sophisticated feel. I would like to say that this place is on the higher end. So be prepared to spend more money for a cocktail here. But the cocktails are extremely satisfactory and you get what you pay for here.

Always a pleasure to return to this bar. One of the nicer venues I have visited. Great service and delicious (if pricey) cocktails. Great date night venue.

Amazing cocktails in a super relaxing, luxurious, speakeasy style setting. Don't expect food, and if you order the caviar expect a bit of a wait (I guess they don't get the order super often) but the cocktails are second to none. This is the equivalent (cocktail wise) of PDT in new York or tier in Berlin. Great ambiance.

A few years ago, we popped in the dark, swanky and cozy Pulitzer Bar during a light rain. Which is saying a lot considering all of Amsterdam is cozy. It became one of those memorable travel spots you never forget. The low lighting and luxurious club chairs make you feel like you were granted access to a speakeasy. Now, we live down the street and I always look at the faces of couples, friends and families who are making their own new memories.

I can recommend the place because of atmosphere and style. They nailed it! I liked the menu, but more the way it’s decorated than the content. All cocktails there are pretentious, with fancy descriptions and ingredients. But I wouldn’t call them special taste-wise. They are good. Just good. Nothing more. You can also order classic cocktails which are not in the menu. Espresso martini was delicious, better than other cocktails from the fancy menu that tried.
