Tailor Bar

Medieval Centre & Red Light District


The drinks list at this elegant bar in the NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky pays homage to AW Krasnapolsky, a tailor who moved from Germany to Amsterdam in 1856 and worked at this site before then founding the hotel. Cocktails include the Tailor's Cut (oude jenever, vermouth and smoky bitters) and Felt Pockets (Irish whiskey and Ceylon and green teas).

Bar snacks are prepared in the kitchen of the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, the White Room.
