Restaurant Rex
One of the best cocktail bars in Hilversum. Bartender Andrés and his team shake up all the classic cocktails. On the terrace, under a large parasol, you look out over Groest. Expect tasty street food to share with the table. Sharing is caring, but hands off my cocktail.
-
Meddens
Meddens is the place to be for a great G&T. Think a stylish terrace in the historic heart of Hilversum, with a modern, cosmopolitan vibe.
TIP: Every last Friday of the month is VISSA. Expect top-notch G&Ts, lively music and, of course, Meddens’ famous oysters.

Jimix

And yes, it’s made for your camera too. The interior is designed with that perfect Insta shot in mind.

Emmanuelle
Step into a world of style and flavour at Emmanuelle. The interior is a bold mix of classic and eclectic, just like their extensive cocktail menu. Go for one of their signature cocktails, like the Emmanuelle Spritz or Moulin d’Orange, or stick with a classic such as a Paloma or Moscow Mule.

David's
At the ever-buzzing Media Park, pull up a seat at the bar at David's for a great cocktail. Think Negroni, Daiquiri or Amaretto Sour in hand, paired with Zeeland flat oysters or fine de claires. You’ll feel like a bit of a celebrity here. Drinks & bites, done right.
