About
Tucked into a historic building in the heart of Amsterdam's old centre, Taxman Cocktail Room is the creation of Latvian cocktail duo Vitaly Alekseyev and Sergej Platonov. The address has centuries of character: from the 17th century onwards, ships docked nearby to pay city taxes on tobacco, alcohol and other goods — a heritage that feels fitting for a bar this serious about its craft.
Inside, guests gather along a single long bar table that leads directly to the cocktail stations, kitchen and backbar. Every bottle on the shelf carries the Taxman logo — brand names are deliberately absent, because here the drink itself does the talking. It is an intimate, workshop-like atmosphere where the bartender's skill is the entire spectacle.
A perfect Google rating of 5 out of 5 from 67 reviews speaks for itself. Taxman Cocktail Room opens its doors Thursday through Sunday from 6 PM, with Saturday nights running until 3 AM.
