This is a really amazing place. Been there a few times, and every single experience is always very memorable and special ! The staff are totally incredible, feel like friends straight away. They even remember you if you come by another time ! No matter how long its been ! Which is really cool ! The inside area is really unique and nice ! And sitting on the outside too is just amazing. Really love this place, I would say my most loved place to come for drinks and a nice time here in my most loved City, Utrecht :) Cheers for the amazing drinks, service and memories ! :)

As always this was a great experience. The whisky was fantastic, the food very tasty and although the outside seating area is small, sitting so close to the water has something magical. Would highly recommend to anyone!

A hidden gem in the city of Utrecht for whiskey and gin lovers. Excellent service, easy going, intimate, great food. Sadly we do not live in Utrecht so we cannot become a badge holder. But we know where to go when we come back.

Absolutely loved everything about The Malt Vault. However the distance between tables, and trying to get to the toilet doesn't really seem 'Corona-proof'. If possible I'd like to see a little bit more space between people. Thanks for the amazing service and whiskey however, I'm absolutely coming back

Definitely my favorite bar if I go out it's very probable I'll end up here. Nice relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and knowledgeable people behind the bar, excellent selection of whiskey and accompanying food. Whiskey is expensive but the overall experience and the fact one glass will last a long time are definitely worth it.

Had a great night in the Malt Vault. We had travelled from Cologne in Germany and was running late . Still the owner managed to get us seated outside until a table became free . The “tables” of Whiskey were just great. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner . Great Night!! Will return !!

We had a very nice experience during our first visit. Great ambience and very professional staff. The only negative is the pricing, we won't go there every week for sure. But for special occasions I would definitely recommend it and would go again!

The overall experience would be certainly beter if pricing was more moderated . (Certainly the food prices are much to high) But knowledge of staffing and the collection of Spirits was great. And would us to visit the Malt Vault again. But at the present time, the small location, the amount of people they let in (a big and loud group of people at the bar) and the coved-19 virus makes a new visit the upcoming time not safe enough.
