I recommended the place to at least half a dozen friends traveling to Amsterdam. Definitely worthy of a visit. Dear BriSanVan, I am very happy to read your review. It certainly made my day to hear you liked it so much, and are recommending it to your friends! We have always fancied the idea of a speakeasy, and with this coming highly recommended we thought we just had to try it while we were in Amsterdam. We texted the number on their website and got a reservation for that night. We vaguely knew where it was and were intrigued by the 'black door' hunt. We headed out a little early in case we got lost, and it was a good job we did, as we went round in circles many times. We were shocked by the sheer volume of black doors in the area, and ended up having to resort to asking people if they knew where it was Luckily his directions got us there. We rang the bell and were asked for our reservation. We were shown to a booth directly opposite the bar, and the owner explained the cocktail menu to us. The cocktail menu was on a poster on the wall, and consisted of 8 possibly 10 but I can't quite remember cocktails devised by the bar staff. Every cocktail had at least 1 ingredient that I had no idea what it was, and I am quite a seasoned cocktail maker, so this was definitely an adventure. We ordered 2 different cocktails and started out journey through the menu. We were given wonderful olives and bar snacks, along with a bottle of water. There were all complimentary and kept topped up which was great. We went through the cocktail menu After the weird and wonderful concoctions I asked for a Bloody Mary. I am not sure what the girl making it did, but it tasted like she had blended celery into it, and there was no taste of tomato or anything I associate with a Bloody Mary, it just tasted of celery and that wasn't nice at all. I gulped it down quickly and asked the owner to make me a cherry cocktail. This was much better. We had a lovely evening. Dear Rhianydds, thank you very very much for your detailed review! Great to hear you enjoyed your experience overall and had a chance to have quite some of our drinks. Hope to see you again, as our menu changes every 3 months completely! With kind regards, Timo Janse Bar manager Door The coolest place, seriously. Make sure you call ahead and get reservations. Also look up any instructions you can find on TripAdvisor or Google Maps because that'll help finding the speakeasy. Cocktails were great, which is what you're going for. I found it was soothing to watch them make the cocktails. Also the bartenders are very knowledgable about everything, got an education and was able to ask questions. Dear Amanda S, thank you SO much for your review. It's great to hear you liked the To Be or Not to Be, as its one of the stronger drinks. You have to reserve but unfortunately they accept more reservations than they have space for. Cramped, were pushed around, drinks were average. Dear tplus, sorry to hear we were over capacitated at the time of your visit and you found the drinks average; although we try to make sure everyone has a seat it is true that this is a main point of improval for us. Yhank you for the review, with kind regards, Timo Janse Bar manager Door Absolutely wonderful service, loved the vibe and the cocktails even more! Might be hard to fine, but all worth it till you do, and part of the fun ;.

Please tell us more on your Hidden Treasure? I remember that when I first moved to Amsterdam it was a pretty desolate place and in a relatively short amount of time it has become a hotbed of creativity and culture. The Espressofabriek makes a mean caramel latte. A little further afield are De Buurtboerderij the neighborhood farm, which was a hidden treasure but has become something of a local hotspot and Het Woeste Westen, a natural playground where kids of all ages can run wild. Not all buildings which the company wanted to purchase could be acquired. Two houses remained unreachable due to the high asking price. This is why the Hotel was initially built around these two buildings.

In deze rapportage wordt net als in voorgaande jaren een representatief beeld geschetst van de actuele markthuurniveaus van commercieel onroerend goed ten behoeve van winkels en daghoreca in winkelgebieden in Amsterdam. Dit onderzoek dient als informatiebron voor huurders en verhuurders van winkelruimte en daghorecaruimte in Amsterdam. Er zijn nog andere gegevens nodig om tot een verantwoorde aanhuur te komen. Zo is informatie over leegstand in de straat, mutatiegraad van de huurders (verloop), consumentenwaardering, omzetten en branchering essentieel om te bepalen of de beoogde unit in de straat de juiste plek is voor het vestigen van een winkel. Het overzicht is goed te gebruiken om -in het geval van eerste aanhuur- een beeld te krijgen van de markthuurprijzen zoals die op dit moment betaald worden voor een winkel of daghorecazaak in een winkelstraat. Voor reeds gevestigde huurders en verhuurders van winkelruimte en horecaruimte (in de wet genoemd bedrijfsruimte) bestaat er echter een wettelijke mogelijkheid om na het verstrijken van de eerste huurtermijn de huurprijs van de winkelruimte te herzien op basis van artikel 7:303 BW.

  • Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction
    Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction Tell anyone you're going to Amsterdam and there's a fair chance they'll either sigh with envy or give you a sly nod. Amsterdam's reputation for tolerance laced with sin precedes it, but equally renowned are its scenic and cultural attractions. Amsterdam hotels are known for their cleanliness and hospitality, its restaurants offer world cuisine, and along the city streets is a shopper's paradise. Most visitors fall in love with the city and return again and again. Amsterdam is nourished by a wealth of museums, concert halls, and avant-garde theater and dance venues. Its relaxed and tolerant attitudes draw those looking for a creative, anything-goes atmosphere. Large numbers of beautiful tree-lined canals are bordered by streets with rows of narrow, gabled houses and 17th-century warehouses, making Amsterdam an architectural treasure trove. Amsterdam is much smaller in population (but no less interesting) than many European capitals. As a result, much of the city center can be comfortably explored on foot—or, if you want to look like a true local, by bicycle. Highlights Sights—The Westerkerk (West Church) on the Prinsengracht and the spectacular view from its tower; gabled mansions on the 17th-century canal ring inside the Singelgracht; the Anne Frank Huis; the Red Light District; Amsterdam-Noord. Museums—Rembrandts at the Rijksmuseum; the Van Gogh Museum; the Stedelijk Museum. Memorable Meals—Smoked eel at Haesje Claes; french fries with mayonnaise or peanut-butter sauce from the rear end of the Albert Cuyp Markt; rijsttafel at Tempo Doeloe; salted or pickled herring from one of the fish stands along the canals; traditional Dutch fare at Moeders; international dishes from Food Hallen.

    where organic ideas grow & we dance to calypso Events are our business (and business is good) At Conscious, we can help you get the most out of your business events like product launches, off-sites, workshops, pop ups, slow tea’s, diners, drinks and that essential part of business life – the meeting. How? By offering you eleven separate meeting & event spaces across four central locations in Amsterdam. Our friendly welcoming staff, state-of-the-art equipment, mouthwatering lunches and dinners plus a few creative options will help make your event a success even as you struggle to decipher the 200-slide PowerPoint deck that Bill from Risk & Compliance presented. Eco-sexy. Big smiles. At Conscious Hotels, we strive to be as green, sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. You might not even notice some of our ‘green’ sustainable decisions because we just quietly get on with being kind to the planet in the background. We think you’re okay about that. We offer you a few choices that might even make saving the planet fun (yes, fun, imagine that). And keep you healthy. There are four beautiful Conscious Hotels. Each hotel has its own specific ways of being kind to the environment through the sustainable decisions we made right from day one. The Tire station, for example, has its own ATES – a natural heat transfer system created by drilling deep into the earth – and solar panels on the roof to provide green energy. Conscious Hotel Westerpark is even the first hotel in the Netherlands that is 100% electric – while using only green energy.
