About
Tucked inside the Pulitzer Hotel on Amsterdam's Keizersgracht, Pulitzer's Bar has long been counted among the city's finest hotel bars. The space radiates old-world elegance through its intimate nooks and seating corners — perfect for settling in with a date, pulling up a stool at the bar, or, in summer, discovering the hidden terrace nestled between historic canal houses.
Head Bartender Stefano Pastorino and his team bring genuine craft to every glass. In collaboration with New York perfume house D.S. & Durga, the bar developed the cocktail menu 'The Alchemy of Scents', a concept that weaves fragrance and flavour into a single sensory experience. That level of creativity and skill earned Pulitzer's Bar the title of Cocktail Bar of the Year in 2020, cementing its place at the top of Amsterdam's cocktail scene.
Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 735 Google reviews and positioned in the higher price range, the bar delivers on its promise of quality. On Sundays, a live jazz ensemble takes the atmosphere up another notch, turning a drink into a full evening out. Pulitzer's Bar is reservable and opens at 5:00 PM on weekdays, with earlier doors from 3:00 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
