Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Such a poor and disappointing experience and to be honest I am at a loss as to how this bar is rated so highly on trip advisor. The initial greeting from the barman was unwelcoming. Several of the cocktails on their menu were unavailable, due...to missing ingredients?? The sip of the cocktail that we did have was very underwhelming. However, the most shocking part of our visit was the appearance of a mouse running around our feet. It beggars belief that a bar which serves hot food, nibbles and drinks has been allowed to remain open under this situation. It is clearly a problem that the bar has been experiencing for some time, given my discovery of previous reviews. The bar staff were also complacent about the issue. Disgraceful that this venue has been allowed to stay open until this issue has been sorted.More

Let’s get one thing clear first - it’s in the Hotel Krasnapolsky and this is not a review of that hotel. It’s a great hotel and my review of it is 5/5. This is just about the Bar. Drinks are fine, if somewhat average. Staff...are slow and you’ll be waiting a while to get what you ordered. But that gives you time to watch the resident rodents - mice scurrying round the floor. Mentioned to the staff and the response was just nonchalant indifference. Sorry - that doesn’t cut it. Cocktail bars in 5* hotels don’t have vermin running around. Don’t go. If you want a cocktail, or a drink, head to Bar TwentySeven which is a minutes walk away and you’ll be glad you did!More

Beware of mice running around!!! Cool looking bar in a nice hotel (I rate the hotel much higher than the bar!) Bar staff not great, waitress brought wrong wine and also managed to knock over the welcome drink. Mediocre snacks…. Surprising given hotel food and...breakfast is good. Have visited the bar twice on separate occasions, once with my partner and once with friends… cocktails were good the night we had them. But I only give the place 1 star because on both occasions mice were evident!!! Not just one sighting but multiple. Staff dismissive when I mentioned it. Not sure how mice running around in a bar that serves food can be acceptable!!! Management need to get Rentokil in.More

This place would have gotten perfect stars, if it weren’t for the long wait between getting there, ordering a drink, and receiving my drink. I did wait about 15 to 20 minutes just to get my order taken, then probably another 20 or so minutes...to get the incorrect drink. The initial people I spoke to were decent, but the last person that had actually taken care of my check had the best service. I told him that the drink I got was wonderful, but I did receive the wrong drink. He was very apologetic, and gave me my correct drink! I will say the atmosphere is very nice, and the drinks were phenomenal. It was a slow Monday night, so the bar wasn’t busy and they had 3 bartenders. Maybe I went on an off night, but the last server was the one that bumped this review up from 2 to 4.More

As many times as I've been to Amsterdam, I've never been to Bar the Tailor, located inside the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnopolsky at The Dam. I stayed at the hotel recently, and The Tailor was no doubt the highlight. A cozy, friendly, bespoke bar with...the best staff. I chose a banquett seating as it looked inviting and had a full-on view of the bar. It was quite comfortable. My server brought a glass of ice water, a complimentary welcome cocktail (port wine, vodka, pimento bitters), a small cup of seasoned popcorn, and a small cup of infused pears. Classy start. The cocktail menu was very interesting so went with my server's suggestion of the popular Texas 501. It's the first cocktail I've had where I actually tasted every ingredient. Fabulous. Went on to try others the next night with a friend. Bartenders and servers are well versed in the menu. Ask them anything. They can make anything. They make their own mixers and infuse liquors with all sorts of things, including goat cheese!!! Delicious. Highly recommend The Tailor and will return next time in Amsterdam. A classy place. Small plates menu available til midnight, including bitterballen! Enjoy the photos!More
