We stumbled upon this bar while exploring Amsterdam with a group of friends and I’m so glad we did! Our bartender Ryan just made the whole experience for us. He was so knowledgeable on the tequilas and even made us speciality drinks based on things we like. Unique drinks and the bar was a vibe!

Wonderful night at Bar Bacán! The cocktails were fantastic, great music and vibes and a brilliant service. I found the drink for me basically immediately (White Candle) and after a few orders, I was asked to be a guinea pig to taste a new recipe.. ended up with two lovely drinks for the price of one! Highly recommend Bar Bacán …

Cocktails are flavorful and complex. Moenier is a very friendly bartender and very knowledgeable. As someone who is also in the hospitality industry, it is always nice to see someone who loves their work and is passionate.

Wow, I drink alot of cocktails (!) but this place is exceptional. Ryan is a master mixologist. The blend of flavours is so well balanced. He will listen to what you like and advise on the best option. I’m not even a huge tequila / mezcal fan but the smoky flavours of these cocktails were delicious. Highly recommend!
