Mixologist Sam Kingue Ebelle concocts impressively inventive cocktails (€10.50 to €13) at this moody bar on Amstelveenseweg. For theatrical drama, try the Full Severity of Compassion (rye whisky, spiced rum, cherry brandy, vermouth infused with cocoa nibs, absinthe and bitters), delivered in a box and wafting gum-arabic smoke when opened.
The bar is kitted out with African art, hosts regular poetry readings and the excellent African-Caribbean-inspired menu includes jerk chicken wings and codfish croquettes.
