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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-72115\" title=\"bar-vasari-amsterdam\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-600x401.webp\" alt=\"bar-vasari-amsterdam\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-600x401.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-1024x684.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-1536x1026.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-2048x1368.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-400x267.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/bar-vasari-amsterdam-500x334.webp 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What enhances the experience is the place in <a href=\"\/en\/culture\/discover-the-art-zoo-museum-taxidermy-at-its-finest\/\"><strong>Art Zoo<\/strong><\/a>.

The unexpected is part of the charm.<\/p>\n<p>The audience is diverse: young creatives, locals in the mood for something new and visitors who walk in by chance and are surprised.

It feels relaxed and exciting at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Bar Vasari shows how nightlife and art can reinforce each other. An evening here is not only entertaining, but also inspiring.
