About us – Belly of the Beast

About us

In a unique concept, Belly of the Beast embraces the art of escapism. The entrance, inspired by a beach bar, creates the illusion of a summer beach day and offers a light and inviting atmosphere for your first cocktail or a delightful bite. As you step into the dark and intriguing bar, your are gradually carried into deeper waters and ultimately find yourself on a unique journey 20,000 feet under the sea.

Belly of the Beast is the latest project by the award-winning bartender Tess Posthumus, a well-established name in the world of bartending. Together with Joeri Salet, co-owner of Supper and the successful Bar Rouge, which was nominated for the Best Restaurant/Bar Entree Awards in 2021, they bring a unique synergy to the historic Odeon building in Amsterdam.
