Bar Jones — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Whilst wandering around the city on the way to a reservation, I stumbled on this bar and well I cancelled my reservation elsewhere!  What a gem of a bar.  I didn't realise until I got home that they had most deservedly won best bar 2024!

From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the friendly and welcoming staff who go above and beyond to ensure your experience is top-notch. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or a romantic date.

The highlight of Bar Jones is undoubtedly its impressive cocktail menu. Each drink is expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and creative combinations that tantalize the taste buds. Whether you prefer classic cocktails or innovative concoctions, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Be sure to try their signature cocktails; they are a true delight!

The attention to detail in both the drinks and the service sets Bar Jones apart from other bars in Amsterdam. The bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate about mixology, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to your visit. Overall, Bar Jones is a must-visit spot for cocktail enthusiasts looking for a memorable and delightful experience...

Absolutely shocking service. I ordered a white wine and kindly asked the bartender to please exchange it as the wine had gone off and had a strange taste and smell. Rather than be kind and concerned for my health the woman working behind the bar accused me of “just not liking the taste” and proceeded to give me a few rude comments. I was in no way impolite to her so was completely appalled and disappointed by the way she treated me as a paying customer. Would never go back, which is such a shame as I loved the interior and cozy seating.

RESPONSE: Actually you are wrong. I have had many positive experiences and have written reviews elsewhere to do just that (as well as in person). I must say I feel quite positive knowing I will never return to your establishment ;). Shame you are so unprofessional as to point that out (like it matters). This is a platform for honesty and people should know when companies are being shameful, such as yourself. I hope you can accept your responsibility and in future as a company, strive to create positive human connection in your bar. P.S owning up to your mistakes...

I reckon with the woman below named "Cheryl Roberts" that the woman behind the bar is extremely rude, I don't know if it's the same woman I encountered, but she demanded me to stop 'playing' with my phone when ordering drink, extremely rude as I was simply exchanging phone number with an expat and not obstructing her in anyway.

They also force foreigners to say "please" when ordering drinks, but they don't force the locals to do it. ???

Their attitude and excuse shocks me. It's an expat meeting, people will use their cellphone to exchange number, if you want people to not use cellphone in your bar, you should put a sign outside and collect everyone's cellphone before entering.

And I wasn't looking at my phone 20 times one hour(not there's anything wrong with that), did you track me with your cameras? I bet you're the kind of person who text 20000 times a day about useless...
