Episode 19: Bar/Restaurant Floor 17

This magnificent restaurant and bar can be found on the 17th floor of Ramada Apollo Amsterdam Centre. Their tag line is “Taste with a view.” Floor17 is known as the perfect place to enjoy exceptional food and signature cocktails. The panoramic view of the city Amsterdam from the 85 meter high rooftop terrace, which incidentally is on the 19th floor, is truly amazing. From the view, to the strategically placed cushioned benches or plush sofas, to the great cocktails, the reasons to visit Floor 17’s rooftop continue to grow. Whether warm summer months or the cold months of winter, Floor 17 rooftop will wow you. The summer offers their triple threat, the Triple D, Drink, Dine and Dance. During the winter months the terrace boasts of the highest skating rink in Amsterdam. Inside the art deco décor is very stylish and sophisticated. The colors pop and the straight lines of the bar gives Floor 17 a classy, well-designed appearance. In the center of the room is the Skybar with floating shelves filled with glassware and liquors. From the ingredients on those floating shelves, the bartenders will create remarkable drinks for you like the John Gerard, made with Rabarcello, red rhubarb, dark rum, sugar, green rhubarb puree, lemon juice and Green Chartreuse. Tables and booths line the windows so you’re sure to get a spectacular view no matter where you are seated. If you are coming in for dinner, you might want to take advantage of their early bird special. If you make your reservation for seven o’clock, you’ll get a huge twenty percent off your bill. That might be worth eating an hour or two early. Private events are available for parties up to 30 people with dinner and drinks ranging from €25 to €45 per person. The bar is a favorite of the locals and guest who stay at the hotel. Floor 17 caters to all ages, even hosts movie nights for the family.
