Cocktail & Genever Experience

The House of Bols is an exciting attraction in Amsterdam centred around the world-famous Bols Genever, better known as jenever or Dutch gin. During the House of Bols experience, you will go on a self-guided tour to learn all about Lucas Bols and the world’s oldest distilled spirit brand.

During the experience, you’ll discover the history of the company, learn about the art of flavour, visit the Hall of taste, the Ingredient room, the Genever room and finally the Mirror bar, where a professional bartender will prepare your personalised cocktail based on your personal taste.

Discover the world of jenever

The name for this famous style of gin stems from the use of juniper berries (jeneverbes in Dutch) in the making of the spirit. They were originally used to mask the unpleasant taste of the earliest gins, which were distilled from malt wine and lacked the more refined distillation techniques employed in present times.

The House of Bols will take you on a journey through this fascinating history, during which you’ll be able to taste the jenever and its ingredients at various stages of preparation. You’ll also see the impressive traditional distillery room which was used to make the spirit in the old days. The bartenders in the Mirror bar will gladly share some of their tips and tricks so you can impress your friends.

    The House of Bols was decent, but felt a bit rushed at some points. I expected more interaction with the staff. The drinks were nice though, can't complain about that!

    This place rocks! The history of genever was real interesting. The cocktail bar at the end is a must-visit. My drink was so good, I had to order a second one!
