Our Take

Jordaan's Disciplined Cocktail Jewel

Vesper Bar is a 20-seat cocktail room in the Jordaan named for the Vesper Martini. The room is small and intentional — leather banquettes, dim lighting, a polished marble bar — and the bartenders work with classical discipline.

The cocktail programme is rooted in classical builds. The Vesper itself — gin, vodka, Lillet Blanc — is the right first order. The seasonal menu rotates four times yearly with thoughtful original cocktails alongside immaculate classics.

The crowd is mid-thirties Jordaan locals and visiting cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with Bar Oldenhof a few streets away for a complete Jordaan cocktail evening.
