Zum Barbarossa is nestled in a centuries-old building in the Voetboogstraat. Today, this intimate cocktail bar is a concealed treasure in the heart of the city, offering a unique blend of history and ambiance.

 

The overall design has been influenced by the intimate Parisian bar style and touches of nautical elements throughout the interior, hinting to the food offering. Greeted by a custom made mosaic flooring in the main space the bar takes center stage, with a chunky rosa Verona marble top and complemented in the room by copper reds, algaes green velvets, black wrought iron and affogato onyx table tops.
