Don\u2019t expect any James Bond stuff though, just a good atmosphere, food and drinks at a great location. It&#8217;s situated on the main canal of Amsterdam&#8217;s Red Light District and has a nice view on the back of the Zeedijk street. Cocktails are delicious here!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mata-Hari.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12081\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mata-Hari.jpg\" alt=\"mata hari spy\" width=\"845\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mata-Hari.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mata-Hari-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mata-Hari-768x303.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>The original Mata Hari, not the restaurant though \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Winston_Kingdom\"><\/span><strong>7 |\u00a0Winston Kingdom<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Winston Kingdom is a mix between a club and a bar.
