Twenty Third Bar

De Pijp


High up in the skyscraping Hotel Okura Amsterdam, Twenty Third Bar has sweeping views to the west and south. The adjacent twin-Michelin-starred kitchen of Ciel Bleu also creates stunning bar snacks (€9 to €15) such as tuna sashimi cornets or goose liver and mango macarons, as well as syrups, purées and infusions for its cocktails; champagne cocktails are a speciality.
