The Malt Vault

This place has very cool smoky cocktails and different types of whisky. They also serve some dumplings and snacks which goes very well with the drinks. The atmosphere is very cozy and interesting. The location is a little hidden in the lower level of the canal but I think it is good in a way, otherwise this place with this quality would be always packed with people😅

Very cool little place with a simply astounding selection of whisky! I live in Scotland and really enjoy whisky, and I was amazed at this place. A little hard to find, tucked into a corner down at the canal level, but worth the effort! Fantastic service, very knowledgeable and friendly people. Highly recommend.

Went to the one in The Hague. I believe it is closed now which is a shame. Amazing whiskey bar tho. Cocktails and selection is great.

Found this hidden gem in a search for a nice cocktail bar. The place is quite hidden, but worth a visit!
The bar is more focused on whiskey, but you have plenty of options if you are looking for something else as well! We went there for some cocktails and were not disappointed.
What is nice is that you can see in the menu how your cocktail looks like, so you know what to expect :)
We tried various cocktails and ejoyed all of them! The atmoshpere is also very nice, the place being quite cozy, and the waitress was very friendly! Looking forward to come again, and hopefully will get to see the cat, as we heard it is visiting from time to time!

Last visited July 2024.
Nice location, loved the deco.

Separated the whisky into 3 price ranges.

Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

The only downside would be the cost. Being specialist in whisky, i would have thought the pricing would differ.

Updates to 5 stars after visiting a few time. Now become a regular place when in Utrecht

I will return when back in utrecht.

They have 300 whiskey ,outstanding cocktails and an incredibly nice host who explains everything to you.
They have a great snack to eat with the drink.
Nice and cosy place.
Tip: make a reservation before you go.

Went here for a whiskey tasting, really enjoyed the experience! We spoke to our bartender who explained that we could choose our own whiskies to try, or she could choose for us. We let her choose, as we wanted to try something new. We were not disappointed! Had some chocolate with the tasting. Highly recommended.
