Upscale billiard club hosts tournaments and private parties in a plush atmopshere.

ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. It's almost as much fun to watch their lineup of resident professional world-class pool players as it is to play on one of their many well-conditioned full-size tables.
  2. The location is good and the atmosphere here is nice.
  3. The warm upscale ambiance, the best equipment in the industry but mostly the "Amsterdam People" make this room so special and enjoyable to me.
  4. Their staff is always helpful and they have a great ambience.
drinks

  1. Besides all that, the mixed drinks are awesome, you have to try the "teatini", a martini made with Black tea fresh lemon and vodka.
  2. Awesome drinks & Pool Pros!
  3. Amsterdam has a full bar with some pretty interesting drinks that include unique ingredients such as lemongrass, ginger, mint, guava, watermelon and lychee.
  4. usually only drink Beam bourbon but the new Watson cocktail was pretty damn tasty i must admit!
  5. Great leagues, great scene, great drink prices, great staff.
food quality
62.5% positive
  1. usually only drink Beam bourbon but the new Watson cocktail was pretty damn tasty i must admit!
  2. The bread on the burgers was stale, the meat over cooked/dry, the pizza was dry with no flavor, the quesadillas were cold and the wings were boneless, not what I ordered.
  3. The price of the tables was reasonable however the cost of food there was astronomical and the quality was TERRIBLE.

Amsterdam Billiards-Union Sq

by Alegra1

I recently had a surprise bday party for my fiancé here and over all my guests and fiancé had a good time. The location is good and the atmosphere here is nice. However, being the one planning the party is a whole other story. The manager Greg Hunt was extremely unprofessional and not accommodating whatsoever. If I wasn't in crunch time to find a location I would have NEVER given him my business. His event coordinator Luciene was very pleasant. Dan (I believe was his name) at the front desk was also pretty unpleasant. You'd think spending over $1K (not including what we spent on alcoholic drinks) the staff would be a little nicer. The price of the tables was reasonable however the cost of food there was astronomical and the quality was TERRIBLE. I ordered mini-burger sliders, pizza, quesadillas and buffalo wings for a group of 25. The bread on the burgers was stale, the meat over cooked/dry, the pizza was dry with no flavor, the quesadillas were cold and the wings were boneless, not what I ordered.

The area they set up for our party was spacious and again overall my guests enjoyed themselves. If I had to rate purely on professionalism and quality of customer service I received, they'd get ZERO stars from me.

  • Pros: Good Location - Spacious for a party
  • Cons: Unprofessional Management, Staff - Terrible Food

prominent place for playing pool

by Sofie

Amsterdam is a superior pool hall with great service and selection. Even though there are over 25 pool tables, there are other fun things to do. They have pinball machines, darts, foosball and a newly added beer pong table. Amsterdam has a full bar with some pretty interesting drinks that include unique ingredients such as lemongrass, ginger, mint, guava, watermelon and lychee. Overall, great place to become a regular!

  • Pros: great priced pool; free darts, beer pong and darts
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Awesome drinks & Pool Pros!

by thejimbeamdude

Had a great time @ Amsterdam Billiards last week

...Jeanette 'Black Widow' Lee was hanging out on the front table as was the guy from 'GoodFellas' Paul Sorvino and the "I see dead people" kid from 'The Sixth Sense' movie playing ping pong in the back!

I usually only drink Beam bourbon but the new Watson cocktail was pretty damn tasty i must admit!

Nice setup of tables and seemingly always chock full 'o players...#1 player Mika Immonen is seen here frequently...maybe i'll play him next time...lol.

  • Pros: Hott Bartenders and cocktail servers!
  • Cons: none unless you're used to hustler dive bars...

Killer hang-out

by Blondie11

The service used to be dissapointing here. The bartenders used to take my drink before I was finished and never seemed to be in a good mood. They've gotten new staff and now the service is awsome. There's lots of games to entertain yourself with while you wait for a table too. My personal fav. is the fusbol and darts. Did I happen to mention the bartenders are hot too!

  • Pros: Friendly service
  • Cons: No Draft specials
