Bar Vasari is quintessentially Amsterdam: a mix of art, design and hospitality. As soon as you walk in, you notice that this is no ordinary bar. The interior is a collage of colorful installations, paintings and objects that give the space a gallery-like vibe.
At the bar, everything is about creativity. Cocktails here are not standard recipes, but small works of art. Classics are given a twist, seasonal fruits and spices are played with, and the presentation is often as surprising as the taste. A glass here feels like an art object that you almost don't want to touch - until you take the first sip.
What enhances the experience is the place in Art Zoo. This is where artists, musicians and creatives come together. Bar Vasari is an extension of that community. You come there for a drink, but linger because suddenly a DJ set starts or an installation is activated. The unexpected is part of the charm.
The audience is diverse: young creatives, locals in the mood for something new and visitors who walk in by chance and are surprised. The atmosphere is open and energetic, as if everyone is participating in an experiment that is constantly changing.
"At Bar Vasari, your cocktail is as creative as the company around you."
For Amsterdam residents, this is a fine addition to the nightlife scene: not as massive as the clubs, but also not as formal as cocktail bars with white tablecloths. It feels relaxed and exciting at the same time.
Bar Vasari shows how nightlife and art can reinforce each other. An evening here is not only entertaining, but also inspiring. You'll go home feeling you've experienced something special - and probably a new favorite cocktail.
