The Level 1 - Advanced Course (3 separate days - Spirits, Mixology, and Techniques) is exactly what I needed to push my skills and knowledge forward. It exceeded my expectations and I'm so pleas... See more

Kudos to the enite Bols crew! Balthazar and Kimley were the highlight of this class, both of them with a lot of specific knowledge, skilled, funny, with clear explanations, nice and kind in general.... See more

One of my fav. products arrived as promised and very well packed to my hotel in AMS. A shortcoming though - is that you only ship within Netherlands - and it's rather remarkable that it should be so... See more

From the delicious cocktail upon…

From the delicious cocktail upon arrival, to the fun but really educational workshop producing two cocktails to the interactive and slightly tour - a throughly fun couple of hours and good value for money. The staff were friendly, approachable and fun and tailored the workshop to suit our individual requirements.

Unique experience of senses.

A very unique experience of your senses. Definitely worth taking time whilst in Amsterdam. The cocktails are amazing, even better if you take up the opportunity to participate in the cocktail making class.
Staff are really friendly and accommodating.

Had a great time!

Had a great time doing the cocktail workshop. Our host was really fun, the genever drinks were delicious and the museum was a fun visit.

I especially enjoyed the art of flavour exhibit. No spoilers though, just go in and experience it for yourself, it's quite something.

Basic bartending course

I did the basic bartending course, I learned a lot about the tools, free pooring and the different ways to make a cocktail. A very practical course for someone who works as a professional but also for people who do home bartending. And you can drink your own creations and afterwards a visit in the house of boks + free cocktail.

We had a great experience

We had a great experience - the tour was very interesting and interactive and the workshop was a lot of fun. And, of course, the cocktails are amazing. Would definitely recommend it.

Enjoyed the workshop and tour

The cocktail making and tour were great. We had an enjoyable time interacting as a group and learning to be mixologists. Visit went downhill when visiting the gift shop. Found the attendant to be very rude (blonde girl with dreadlocks) when asking if there were additional sweatshirts that had print on the back saying "hello from Amsterdam". Her customer service was disrespectful when telling us that we couldn't buy those sweatshirts and they never should have been put out to begin with. We liked the merchandise so ended up buying however at one point almost put everything back because of her unprofessional approach.

Great Workshop

We were a small group of 4 people and got coached by one of the bartenders. We did the tikki workshop. There is an extra bar for the workshop and everything was already set out for us. The bartender was really nice and first explained a bit about tikki cocktails and bols. She always showed us how to make the cocktail first and then helped us especially with the measurements. The cocktails were both really nice. One of them was also available at the bar while the other one wasn't. Afterwards she thanked us for joining and offered us to taste any kind of bold liqueur at the bar. Which we did.

All in all it was a fun workshop and really nice for just 15 euros more. I would definitely recommend doing both, the museum and the workshop.

it was nice

it was nice, but not great. We had a good time, but i expected more. The cocktails were really good, but the museum was not very exciting.

Satisfied customer

Very pleased with my glasses. I wish I could buy Bols genever more easily in shops here . I can only get it on line or in duty free shops.

Your request for feedback is insulting

Your request for feedback is insulting! I had a cocktail experience scheduled Dec 26th at 5:30. I received my email reminder at 1:15pm THAT DAY. I showed up at 5:20pm to be told my experience had been cancelled. She really didn't give an explanation as to "why" just that there was no class. She claimed that you emailed me several times and tried to call me. I show no emails, texts or calls to cancel my tour. I was charged 35.67 USD on my credit card & have not seen a refund. I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am in this situation.

Enjoyed the cocktail workshop but felt rushed

My friends and I did the cocktail workshop, which was a lot of fun and the bartender was great. However, the workshop started late; we were told we were waiting on 4 other people who never showed up. Then after the workshop was over, we were rushed to finish the drinks that we made because we were told we had to get on with the tour because they were about to close. So we were rushed through the tour, only 15 minutes vs the one hour standard time allotted. Then we were supposed to have another drink after the tour, of which we were rushed as well. The experience could have been excellent had the workshop not started late then created a domino effect that made everything else rushed and unpleasant.

Move over Tom Cruise

Great fun - you’ll be amazed what goes into making the many Bols. Really fun way to learn - if only school was this much fun I might have learnt something.

Great fun!

It was a ton of fun! My wife and I were not overly familiar with Bol beforehand and we had an amazing time. Very informative and loved the interactive exhibits, as well as, of course, the delicious drinks!
