Santé: Sipping cocktails in Maastricht
Negroni, Mojito, or an Espresso Martini? Your cocktail choice says a lot about you. Whatever you drink, you can indulge yourself in Maastricht. From a speakeasy (hidden behind a secret door) to a bar located at the bustling market.
Mr. Smith
We join you on a journey with Mr. Smith. Your experience begins shrouded in mystery at this speakeasy bar. The idea of this kind of hidden establishment first originated during the Prohibition era in the United States (1920-1933), when alcohol was largely banned. Although we’ve left out the illegal, we have incorporated the mysterious. “Press for drinks”, and a world of cocktails opens up before you. Mr. Smith is keen to shake up something amazing for you.

Bold Rooftopbar
Wanna be on top of... Maastricht? Maastricht's only rooftop bar is an amazing hotspot if you like sipping your cocktail while enjoying stunning views. Located atop the Eiffelgebouw building in the vibrant, up-and-coming Sphinxkwartier, this place is so good, it’ll be hard to beat! The origins of manufacturing in Maastricht can be traced back to this location, with Sphinx sanitary ware once being manufactured in this former factory. From a refreshing Spritz to a classic Moscow Mule: let's go sky high!

Rumors
Rumour has it you can order great cocktails over here! This boozy bar is located on lively Koestraat, Maastricht’s pre-eminent street for nightlife. Not so much for dancing, but mainly for drinking and chatting. When the weather is fine, sit on the terrace at this bar, located in the Jekerkwartier, and watch the people of Maastricht stroll by. What shall we order? A classic Margarita or a Pink Sweetness (cocktail in the guise of a milkshake). There’s plenty of choice!

Bar Brutal
Fortune favours the bold (or brutaal in Dutch)... That's why a visit to Bar Brutal in Wyck comes highly recommended. You simply have to be bold to come to this daring catering establishment. Although you can, of course, always come here during the day for a nice lunch, there’s always a spot reserved for cocktail lovers. Located on the corner of the train station and a stone's throw from the old bridge, which leads you back to the inner city. The vermouth cocktails are a must-have if you’re looking to sip something amazing!
