That answer turned out to be just around the corner. Literal. Because why not take Amsterdam itself as the theme? Bar Mokum turned out not to be occupied yet, and the joke from (favorite!) Café Cliché in Amsterdam East, where all dishes were given typical Amsterdam names, also seems to work with cocktails. Just like chef Sidney Schutte, the gentlemen chose names like Trench Rider, Ginnegapper or Graftak on their compact menu. In this case, no steak tartare, tuna or warm hazelnut chocolate cake, but long drinks 'old fashioned' style (Soumokil makes extensive use of Dutch distilled spirits, such as jenever from Bols, which recently returned to Amsterdam) and gin and tonic (“the absolute sucker among gin and tonics. To pimp on class"). No hassle at Bar Mokum! We think that's the best thing about the whole place: everyone is welcome, from yogurt drinkers to Malays. It is an ode to the city, smart and tolerant with classy cocktails, but without the cold poop. And of course a tune here and there. (From Dre to Dré, so to speak.) But just keep acting normal. Otherwise you're just going to wobble. According to the site. Love for Bar Mokum.
