An amazing speakeasy which is not that easy to find: World Class Room @ Pigs & Punch (4. July 2020)
I’m a big fan of speakeasies as they are always hidden treasures. The World Class Room is in a place where you would not expect to find a speakeasy (just as intended). When you enter the restaurant Pigs & Punch you have to go to the first floor where you can find a little glass door and doesn’t really look like you’re allowed to go in. There is a little bell by the side but else you can also just walk in (at least, it wasn’t crowded that day).
They usually have – I was told – quite an extensive drinks menu, however, due to COVID-19, the “waiter is the menu”. So, you basically tell him what you want to drink (in terms of direction, flavour, likes/dislikes) and he creates a drink. And while I do not exactly know what exactly I was served, I must say, I liked it a lot.
And although all my drinks (EUR 15.50 each) kind of looked the same …
… they were very different in terms of flavour and taste. And, they were all great and definitely very enjoyable! So, if you are in Amsterdam and are looking for a nice bar experience after dinner, then I can definitely recommend you to try out the World Class Room – lovely drinks, fair prices, and a great barman!
Although the place is overall rather tiny, the interior is absolutely lovely – there is a huge bar table in the middle of the room where you can sit down and enjoy your drink. Furthermore, there are like 8 places (at least in normal times) where you can sit down on a sofa beside each other in front of a little table. And both are very comfortable and nice.
What I liked a lot about the place – besides the quality – was the interior decoration. It is very traditional, yet appealing and modern in its own way.
So, again, if you are looking for a great bar experience, you should definitely try out the World Class Room – a speakeasy worth finding!
