A Perfect Night of Yakitori, Wine, and Beats ā special even last Sunday at Bottleshop.
If you ever needed proof that good things happen when you mix top-notch yakitori, natural wine, and a DJ spinning great tunes, this event was it.
The star of the night? Five kinds of perfectly grilled yakitoriājuicy chicken, rich duck breast, tender beef, flavorful tongue, and bold heart. Each skewer had that perfect balance of smoky char and umami goodness, making it impossible to pick a favorite. (Okay, maybe the duck. Or the tongue. No, waitāthe chicken? You get it.)
And the wine? A killer lineup of bio and natural selections that ranged from crisp and zippy to deep and funky, each one playing off the yakitori flavors like a dream.
With the DJ setting the vibe just right, the night turned into the perfect mix of laid-back and lively. Sipping, snacking, and vibingāitās safe to say this bottleshop knows how to throw a damn good time.
If they do this again, you need...

I believe that you can get wines to take away, hence the name. They only sell natural wines, which is the reason why I wanted to go. It seems like they constantly open bottles and so you could go on two different nights and might not have the same wine twice. I got quite a few glasses and all of the wines were really good. I also got some food to accompany the wine and all of the dishes were decent. I particularly liked the artichoke hearts in tempura and the flatbread with stracciatella with anchovies. I'm not the biggest fan of anchovy, but it worked really well with the creaminess of the cheese and the crunchiness from the flatbread. I finished off with a negroni, which is one of my favourite drinks and it didn't disappoint.
Glad that I finally got around to visiting and will definitely be back again. The service was efficient as well, without being...

The reason i am giving a one star and not 2/3 is the service. Quite possibly the worst experience Iāve had in a long while and for Amsterdam standards, this is pretty bad. We had a small Bday dinner for a friend and I had ordered dessert just so we can sing her happy birthday (we did not want to eat dessert) I asked the waiter for a candle or any sort of decoration so we can sing with dessert and he confirmed. After waiting for a long while, the desserts came and no mention of candle not even a happy birthday to the girl. I went and asked and he said that they finished the candles (no mention of that?!) and assured me he can figure something else out - after which we were left hanging. HE NEVER FIGURED ANYTHING NOR CAME TO SAY IT! so ar some point, extremely pissed we just paid and left Absolutely mind...
