Tales & Spirits
Curio-filled cocktail den in a centuries-old alley
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
A multi-level cocktail den down a narrow alley between Singel and Spui, all candlelight, vintage glassware and bartenders who move like choreographers. The menu balances house 'tales' — playful, sharp signatures — with finely tuned classics. A World's 50 Best Discovery listee built on craft, not gimmick.
