Our Story

CatuaBar is owned and run by Saskia, Gui, and Alex — three friends from Brazil and South Africa who brought their shared hospitality experience together in Amsterdam Oost. Gui came through Alex Atala's kitchens and Restaurant Central in Lima. Alex spent years behind the bar at Ruby Rosa in Lisbon. Saskia ran the floor at Bala Baya in London.

Crafted, Not Rushed

Every pour at CatuaBar is built by hand, from the ice to the garnish. Alex, our bar team's mixologist of 20 years, treats each cocktail as its own small ritual, including house batches like the Catuaba-Bark Aged Negroni, part of the same pairing philosophy that runs through the kitchen.
