Pulitzer's Bar - Best Hotel Bar in Amsterdam

The glamour of long-lost times enters the modern day at the Pulitzer’s Bar. This timeless hotel bar tells a contemporary tale of cocktail history through a classic menu and an effortlessly elegant atmosphere. The interior captures the accessible elegance of old school hotel bars in a monumental Amsterdam building with its own entrance at the Keizersgracht. One could easily flee the bustle of the city, yet overlook its signature canals, in one of the comfortable armchairs around the fireplace or talk the night away at the impressive Art Deco style bar.

Murder on the Orient Express

The 5th version of our cocktail menu is inspired by the characters in Agatha Christie’s novel: ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. This cocktail menu is composed of 12 suspects; each of them with a specific role in the grand scheme, each of them with their own means, motive, and alibi for committing the deed.

We invite you to investigate our menu and select the most likely suspect to quench your thirst.
