12 X places with fun creative workshops in Amsterdam

BOUTIQUE BOTANIQUE

I received so many nice reactions to the Sip & Paint tips I shared recently. Getting creative while enjoying snacks and drinks is the new way to have drinks with girlfriends. I came across another fun new tip when I grabbed a coffee this week at Bar Botanique in East. Every month, they organize the creative event Botanique Boutique. Something different creative is made at every edition. They provide the materials and a delicious cocktail; you provide a dose of creativity. Read more about it here >>
