Bubbles & Wines

On the historic Nes just off Dam Square, Bubbles & Wines is a small, cosy wine and champagne bar that has been going since 2005, making it one of Amsterdam's first dedicated wine bars. The candlelit room is intimate and grown-up — a calm escape from the busy city centre.

There are dozens of wines and champagnes by the glass, with knowledgeable staff to guide you and tasty bites — from cheese to luxury snacks — to match. It's a refined spot for a special drink rather than a rowdy night out.

What to expect

Expect a quiet, candlelit setting where the focus is on good wine and good company. The by-the-glass range means you can taste your way through styles and regions, and the staff are happy to suggest pairings with the snack menu.

Good to know

It's a lovely choice for an aperitif before dinner or theatre on the Nes, one of Amsterdam's oldest streets. Champagne is a speciality, so it skews a touch pricier — perfect for a celebration or a treat.
