House of Bols

The House of Bols is an exciting attraction in Amsterdam centred around the world-famous Bols Genever, better known as jenever or Dutch gin. During the House of Bols experience, you will go on a self-guided tour to learn all about Lucas Bols and the world's oldest distilled spirit brand.

During the experience, you'll discover the history of the company, learn about the art of flavour, visit the Hall of taste, the Ingredient room, the Genever room and finally the Mirror bar, where a professional bartender will prepare your personalised cocktail based on your personal taste.

The name for this famous style of gin stems from the use of juniper berries (jeneverbes in Dutch) in the making of the spirit. They were originally used to mask the unpleasant taste of the earliest gins, which were distilled from malt wine and lacked the more refined distillation techniques employed in present times.

The House of Bols will take you on a journey through this fascinating history, during which you’ll be able to taste the jenever and its ingredients at various stages of preparation. You’ll also see the impressive traditional distillery room which was used to make the spirit in the old days. The bartenders in the Mirror bar will gladly share some of their tips and tricks so you can impress your friends.

The House of Bols Cocktail and Genever experience is a unique adventure and an unforgettable interactive journey through the glamorous world of cocktails, liqueurs, bartending, and genever. The attraction is located on the Museum Square in Amsterdam, right across from the Van Gogh Museum.
