Zum Barbarossa’s lore dates back to 1900 in Amsterdam, where ‘Zum’ refers to the iconic mosaic on the entrance to the Barbarossa cellar, depicting a fruit tree with two clovers, as seen on playing cards. The cellar gained notoriety for hosting illegal gambling games before a police crackdown in the city brought an end to said activities. After years of passing through different hands, the cellar finally closed in 1907. Fast forward to the present day and it now serves as one of Amsterdam’s top nightlife spots and one of London's newest nightlife spots.
