About
The glamour of long lost times enters the modern day at the Pulitzer's Bar. This timeless hotel bar tells a contemporary tale of cocktail history through a classic menu and an effortlessly elegant atmosphere. Thanks to its makeover in 2016, the interior captures the accessible elegance of old school hotel bars in a monumental Amsterdam building with its own entrance at the Keizersgracht. One could easily flee the bustle of the city, yet overlook its signature canals, in one of the comfortable armchairs around the fireplace or talk the night away at the impressive Art Deco style bar.

Located in the stunning Pulitzer hotel, this place is a total gem. Positively scrumptious drinks and friendly, talented bartenders, make this place perfect for a before or after dinner drink or a nightcap if you’re staying at the hotel. Don’t miss it.
