Borisov is a continuation of the temporary restaurant / bar called Oumuamua that was situated in Amsterdam North (asterweg) in 2019. An architecture office (now called Beyond Space) started their new office in the Houthavens and opened Borisov in October 2021 as a new hangout.

As the bar is a continuation of Oumuamua, so is the name. Oumuamua was the first ever discovered intergalactic comet that passed earth and nobody knew what it was. When we started the new location here, we found out that a second intergalactic comet (2I/Borisov) was discovered by the Crimean (Ukraine) amateur astronomer and telescope maker Gennadiy Borisov so we decided to use this name for this second bar.

We are an easy going grey space with affordable dinners, daily lunch, working spot with good coffee, Music Experiences on Saturday and everything in between…

We have a big terrace facing southwest. So you can sit in the sun all day untill sunset (if the clouds allow us)
