Do this tour... not the ice bar! - Very informative. Fun guessing the flavours by smell..I didn't get them all! The cocktails are excellent. I stayed to enjoy a second.

Great, entertaining, informative, interactive and fun!! - We received a warm welcome, the ladies at the reception made us feel at ease. They gave us the freedom to first purchase the entrance tickets for the museum, and told us we could decide later if we wanted to upgrade to the workshop. We had some trouble using the audio tour, the girls were quick to help us out. The museum/experience was very interesting. Not only was it informational, it was also interactive. All your senses are stimulated here! The freebee at the beginning (a shot, to be enjoyed in a 3d experience booth) is such a nice gesture. After the experience/museum (it took us about 60 mins, but you can do it on your own pace) we opted for the upgrade on the workshop. We took a 30 mins workshop, in wich we not only created 2 cocktails, but the lady who led this workshop, was very entertaining and informative. We also got a token to get an extra cocktail at the bar after the workshop. Cocktails were all amazing. The total experience was 10/10 and we will be back for sure, especially when we have visitors from abroad. We went as a couple on a date and had a great time. Extra info: Just the experience/museum comes with 1 free cocktail of your choice. I asked for an off menu cocktail (the aviation) and it was happily made by the bartender without having to look up the recipe. The bartender was super professional and passionate about his craft. The 30 min workshop comes with 2 additional cocktails, the ones that ate created by yourself in the workshop (you can't choose this one, it's chosen by the trainer. In our case it was a gin based caipirinha and a pornstar martini). Also the mocktails were great, imagine an alcohol free mezcal smokey paloma! Yummie. You will get a 10% discount in the store so you can take home liquors or tools as a souvenir All in all, we don't understand why Bols is not yet the the top 5 things to do in amsterdam A very very big recommendation by us!

A great experience! - The museum itself is okay - tells you a bit about our senses, how we interpret flavours, etc. but the real star of the show is the cocktail making experience! It's an affordable add-on to your trip that gives you an insight into mixology. You get to pick your flavour combinations and be guided by experienced bartenders in a relaxed setting. I would definitely go back to repeat it.

Cannot Recommend Enough - Such an amazing experience for anyone who appreciates cocktails! At the end of the experience we had such a lovely time in the bar and a great talk with our bartender who gave us more insights into Genever.

We had fun - My husband and I visited here on our anniversary and participated in a cocktail workshop. Overall, we enjoyed the museum, and the drinks were delicious. The environment was quite lively and crowded. However, the red-haired girl from Turkey who conducted our workshop had poor English, which made it difficult for us to understand her. When we asked her something, she was not so friendly, as if she didn’t want to answer our questions. Workshop was not like we expected, but we still had fun.

Cocktail hour - A fun experience to understand the history of Bols. A cocktail included at the end but as there was a large group just starting their tour when we arrived, we had the cocktail before the tour. Lots of choice of cocktails and great bar staff. The only criticism was that it was very loud in the bar area - music in the bar, a big group and a cocktail class nearby - and lots of bright lighting. Bad timing for us but would recommend if you like cocktails.
