Bubbles & Wines Wine & Champagnebar

I am so behind my reviews lately but now I am finally catching up. First time I came to this place was with my current boyfriend, that at the time brought me there for our first official date. It couldn’t have been more special. The atmosphere is very gezellig as the dutchies would say and the owner really gives you personal attention. The wine selection is also very good and before you choosing one he explains all about it and also based on your preference he knows exactly what to offer you. After this first time I certainly came back there and enjoyed other nice moments win friends and family. Totally recommend it.

This establishment is exactly the «side» of Amsterdam we love — classy, mature, and free of the hippie crowd full of tourists who came to Amsterdam just to get high. The staff was very friendly, and fast service. Great wines for every budget. Would love to come back when in Amsterdam again.

Love this place. Intimate, a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of Dam Square. I came here twice while in Amsterdam — the way they lay out the wines by the glass is great — there will be Rose wines (3 to choose from) or you can do a flight of all 3 — they do this with all the wines by the glass. We tried the Rose, Bordeaux, Italian and Pinot Noir flights.
Really great selection of wines and proper glasses for all. The wine list is vast and there is something for everyone (palate and price wise).
The food was great — I ended up taking home a jar of truffle honey as well. We would have ordered more food but we had dinner plans…

Great cheese/​charcuterie plates & wine selection. 3 stars since waiter was rude

This sophisticated wine bar is off a side street of Dam Square and is such a hidden gem! We were only in Amsterdam for 2 days and went each day. We loved ordering a flight (or two) and then having a glass of our favorite. The staff is extremely knowledgable and the service was spotless and friendly. I can’t recommend it more, don’t miss it!

Superbe bar à vin, le service est impeccable! La nourriture est très bonne et de qualité! Seul bémol: le prix. Un peut trop élevé. Mais j’y retournerai avec plaisir!

This place is great.
Only a 5 minutes walk from the busy activity of Dam Square, you’ll find this gem of a place.
It has a smallish, underspoken façade, but on the inside, it opens up to a fabulous, dark, contemporary room that stretches to the back by the actual wine bar.
As the name would imply, a vigorous list of wines & champagnes are featured. Some are well known, but there are some to intrigue even the affcianado out to try something new.
With regards to ‘something new’, the staff here is more than accustomed to providing anyone… even the casual visitor looking for a wine ‘tour’, a specialized choice of wines to enjoy. Special care is given for those wanting to explore a handful of wines so as not to let them conflict with one aother, but instead add to as each wine may get more complex or simple. Bottom line is to feel free to ask for suggestions. You’ll be happily guided.
With a blustery, damp, cold wind outside, this visit warranted some rich, hearty Reds. Delicious.
Hors d’oeuvres are actually pretty tasty here. Definitely try the smoked salmon, the olives and artichoke tapenade with crackers The bacon wrapped dates were pretty good too.
All in all, this is a great place to warm up and chill out with a date, some colleagues, friends (or even a real Duchess with whom I am privileged to know) in a setting that can be casual or formal.

Tucked steps away from the Dam, Bubbles and Wines is a great wine bar, with a great selection, and an amazing staff. This is primarily a pre– or post-​dinner location (or as several other reviewers accurately pointed out, a date location), as their food selection is very limited (if you sit at the bar, you shall see what the staff has to work with, in terms of kitchen… It is a burner and a microwave). If eating, stick with cheese selection or the smoked salmon cubes if that is your thing.
All of the wine flights are well-​devised and full of surprises (when I visited in November 2013). Couple of examples: The champagne flight consisted of a big house and two smaller, grower champagnes. The Riesling one is a mash up of German, Australian (Australian??? really? 2006? pretty awesome) and New Zealand (2001 vintage no less). All of the 18 or so pours by the glass behind the bar are pretty solid or you can opt for a bottle from the hundreds available at your disposal.
The staff is the best thing here though. They are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They can leave you alone to pick your wine or cater to your tastes based on your preferences, etc.
Not sure how accurate it is, but i was told wine bars are getting some acclaim as of late in Amsterdam (pure wine bars, not talking about bars carrying a good selection of wine) and Bubbles and Wines is positioned to claim its well-​earned crown, in the face of the competition (Vyne, Pulitzer, etc.).

Very classy, upscale wine bar. VERY good selection of wines. Good atmosphere. A bit pricey, so I wasn’t able to sample much. It would probably be better to come back during their happy hour, if such a thing exists.

This is a very good place to taste a wide variety of wines. They have them by the glass, flight and bottle. The pricing is not too bad for what you get. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I tried the champagne flight and I was quite pleased.

Excellent find!
Hidden down a small back street and doesn’t look great from the outside but once inside it’s a lovely bar with a great selection of wines with good service.
I loved it and was so glad I found it, it’s feels like a secret as its so hidden away and I hope it stays that way.

This is clearly a date place. Alas, I wasn’t there on a date when I went. With a large group in fact. Very extensive wine list. From the looks of it, nice appetizers. In the need for a 2^nd or 3^rd date option, this is a good choice. Out for a little rowdy night with some buddies (even if your idea of a rowdy night is over some good wine), go somewhere else.

Enjoying a few days of Amsterdam without raising a glass or 2 at Bubbles & Wine is not something we will ever do again. This place has, after just one visit, earned a spot on our default itinerary for trips to the capital of Holland.
Located a block away from the dam this little gem offers great wine selection paired with some tasty finger food options. Although the emphasis of this establishment is on wine there is a nice selection of drinks available for people like me that simply do not care of wine, with or without bubbles.
The staff is extremely friendly and attends to every and all of the patrons needs. Great place, we will be back!

Very nice place in the middle of Amsterdam yet on a very quiet street. Such a different experience compared to standard loud bars and pubs in Amsterdam. A great choice of wine and nice place. Best for couples or small groups of friends.

I guess I’m biased with this review, but I do consider this my «local pub», though it is not a pub and I actually don’t go there everyday despite what it implies! But whether I’m up for a nice, quiet evening with a glass of wine, or meeting up with friends before dinner, this centrally located wine bar is the place I go to. Service is always good and most importantly, knowledgeable staff, helping you choose the perfect glass of wine to suit your mood. Food menu includes a good selection of cheese from l’Amuse, caviar, charcuterie, olives, etc.
One of the few bars in Amsterdam where you can sit undisturbed at the bar, with your glass of wine, a magazine and an occasional chat with the friendly staff. My happy place!

We found this lovely place in our hotel magazine. We both got flights of reds– 3 small pours that were explained in detail. We should have gone before dinner instead of after so we could enjoy their small plates of cheese etc. to go with the flights. We would definitely return here!

Bubbles is a sexy wine bar that is VERY HARD TO FIND in Amsterdam. Highly recommended from a friend who used to live there. It does not DISAPPOINT. Wide selection of wines and ports.

Although just a short walk from Dam Square, this is a hidden gem on a really cool alleyway called Nes. Modern, classy interior that makes a great place for a date or small event. This place is on par with Vyne on Prinsengracht.
