I've come to this place one other time on new years and so glad we came back for the food this time! Such a great vibe and fantastic food along with their unique drink options. I had a really good blueberry tea. Really great comfort food and the butter chicken was fantastic! Service was spot on. read more

Cheap prices but not worth if they never come out. They would constantly serve other tables and neglect ours. We even asked and they ran outside with the bill instead of giving us the actual order which was sitting at the bar. read more

When I was coming into Amsterdam Cafe, I was attracted by its hipster charm. There was colourful graffiti all over the walls, there were old televisions, other old objects for decorations and the waitresses were dressed in short-sleeved casual ware. The menu was pretty interesting as for as meals and alcoholic beverages go. I ordered the Vegan Budd-DAM Bowl and their Sex Off Pistol. the drink was decent, but nothing special. the vegan bowl was amazingly piquant. The tahini dressing brough everything together and the veggie ingredients tasted fresh. I highly recommend this dish to everyone, even if you are not a vegetarian. My only real complaint about the restaurant would be the noise level from the music playing. Other than that, I recommend Amsterdam in Whistler. read more

We seated ourselves outside by the heater. We ordered a stein (30oz) of dinosour beer which tasted great and poutine with pulled pork. The crunchy fries with the savory pork was nice especially with some hits of the hot sauce. I wished it had more cheese curds though. On a whim we got the Dr pepper which is a shot of amaretto with lager and Pepsi. I liked the service, atmosphere (red lights and outdoor heaters) and the few menu items we tried were decent! read more

Great place to go to drinks with your friends! We sat on the patio for roughly an hour until we got asked to move inside because they close the patio after a certain hour, which is totally understandable. My friends and I split a pitcher of the Russell Honey Lager which was pretty good, and then once we moved tables the server convinced me to try the Friday's special however I did not enjoy it as it was way to sweet for my liking so I wish I just stuck with beer! Overall vibes were good in here however, I would try to come earlier so we could stay on the patio for longer next time. read more

Over 40 and lame like me? Or carting around energetic youths? Then this place may not be for you. Two reasons: loud (avg 86dB, max 97dB) and cleavage (boobs). It's not a huge place, and the food was actually pretty decent. The nachos in particular really hit the spot after a full set of runs all morning & afternoon. But where the three of us might have wanted to chat for a while ... that really wasn't an option given the volume of the (good) music. I suppose the Dam Hotties should have tipped me off but looking around I quickly discovered cleavage everywhere. Not just in the artwork but clearly guests had left behind some lingering impressions in the form of polaroids tacked up around the place. If you're game for this ambiance then this may well be a four star joint for you. Sadly, I was hoping to chat a bit and literally couldn't hear, hence one fewer star. After finishing a round or two and the nachos we found a different après place. read more

Good with bringing beer out (and in large steins) but they couldn't get a basic burger right. They burned it. Go somewhere else - there are so many better places in the area. read more

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my food. I got a burger and got the area, it was actually fairly inexpensive. I split it but probably could have finished one by myself. It definitely has a hole in the wall vibe but it was definitely worth it. My drink was half off for happy hour. read more

We wanted to grab a drink at the bar on a Thursday night around 8pm We were greeted at the door by a guy and he told us that the bar was full and there was only outdoor seating available. Looking inside the bar was not full and we could see that there were seats available. When we questioned the guy he was very rude and told us "he must be blind" and wouldn't let us in. We love whistler and we will be back but not to this bar. read more

Solid spot with great music and vibes! I didn't go inside but outside has heated lamps and great elevated view for people watching. Service was great. They had some good deals on espresso martinis which we loved. Food is kind of what you would expect from, bar food and burgers. Nothing to write home about but we came for apres ski drinks and vibes, not as much for the food. read more

weather was warmer than expected so outside dining was a bit warm. There was also an abundance of bees swarming the tables. The wait staff night as well be non existent. Slow and didn't really care much of anything. I watched several couples sit eat and leave before my food came out. The food was ok, Im not sure if it was a dead day or not it was a Saturday but the place was not busy but maybe because of the slow service. If you want a quick in and out no way its gonna happen. 75.00 for a light lunch could have done a lot better. read more

Great drinks and food. Atmosphere was chill and food was yummy. I got the traditional breakfast late in the day and my hubs got a hamburger with fries. Great yum yums read more

When the patio isn't even half full but everything in the vicinity is packed, let that be your clue. I didn't. It was a hot day and I just wanted a cold one. The grapefruit ale was nice. I decided to order fish and chips as well. You can't go wrong with that at a pub. Oh yes you can. It was nearly burnt and was served with a weird arugula and olive salad. The server was sweet, but totally oblivious. I requested ketchup and waited over 5 minutes. The place was NOT busy. Don't come here if you can avoid it. There is so much better out there. read more

My husband and I, along with my best friend and her boyfriend stopped in here for a drink while waiting for our dinner reservations. We were greeted right away. Our server was great! Super friendly and talkative. We had beers and a glass of wine. She was knowledgeable about the wines and helpful in picking out a good one. We also ordered the tater tots. They can with ranch. They were super yummy and their ranch is tasty. Prices were normal. The atmosphere was fun and lovely. The music was good and atmosphere was fun. We will for sure stop here again next time we are in whistler!! read more

I must quickly admit that the ding in stars is due to their beer selection: nothing darker than a pale ale. Maybe that's what's in demand that doesn't warrant a tap, but hey... there are plenty of great porters and stouts in bottles, eh? Wanted a quick snack so ordered the onion rings. Respectable but I recommend the truffle spicy aioli instead of the ranch. $30 CAD for a wine, a lackluster beer and rings. Well, it is whistler after all. You can't expect bargains in the Village. read more

Overall: The pricing was on the cheaper side compared to all the other places around. With that being said, you get what you pay for. Atmosphere: This restaurant is located pretty central to everything which was super nice. We came for New Years and was able to sit outside. It was such a nice vibe because they had heating lamps outside so we were able to sit, not be cold, and watch the snow falling and people walking. It was an amazing vibe. Best part of the experience. Food: We got the full rack of ribs. Was not impressed. The ribs didn't taste fresh. It's almost like they were cooked a couple days before and just headed up prior to serving. There wasn't a lot of sauce on there. Overall, did not like them at all. Would not recommend. Service: The server was amazing. Super friendly and extremely nice! read more

Good place to go if you are looking to just drink and not care so much about the quality and selection of beers and such. We stopped in late one Sunday evening around 11:00 pm to quaff a pint of Ale. We sat outside as it was way to hot inside to bother. I chose one that I was expecting to be an American Pale Ale - but turns out it was an English Pale Ale - which has quite a different flavor profile vs. an APA - more malty and less hops. I prefer the APA but drank the Ale anyway. The place is really loud - so expect to yell a lot during your conversations. The bartender appeared to be in control of the volume and she was cranking it. Our table was dirty and sticky - so we did not stick around for another round. We got a taste of the "show" that other reviewer had alluded to... I'll leave it at that... read more

Good for a drink night with garlic fries :) They have a variety of cocktails. We tried the That's fresh and another one with bourbon which was the best for me. Mules were not that good but the interesting part is that you can have doubles. Which is easier ;) Loved the music 2000s. Service was slow but attentive. Schnitzel was that good for me and my tummy... read more

This is the spot to hit after a day on the lifts! There is a spacious patio, more seats outside than inside. Daily drink specials make it fun to come and see what's new. There's generally a daily cocktail and a daily shooter that's well discounted. We stopped in for drinks and fries and the service was amazing. There's also a full list of warm boozy drinks if you need something to warm your bones. read more

I feel it's my duty to plead with you to avoid eating here. Have a drink and enjoy the patio views by all means. However, spending your hard earned money on a meal here is a massive waste. We spent 60 bucks on 2 mediocre burgers with stale buns and soggy fries. On top of that service was so lacklustre. I get it - you're in a tourist district and you can expect to pay more - however this food was pretty terrible and our server never asked how things were going. Plus I was given the wrong side. No apologies although this was rectified - all in all dining here was the downside of our stay in Whistler. Mistake has been made- Please learn from ours and don't waste your money here. It'll be the best decision you've made your entire trip. For the the record I'm not one to write a bad review unless I really feel justified. read more

Amsterdam Cafe - Inside the Amsterdam - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

One of the, if not the, worst service experiences of my life. If I could give this place a zero I would, and 100% based on the extremely cocky and rude female staff. Simple requests about drinks, were met with extreme (no exaggeration) rudeness. I don't know this as fact but locals, who we met later, and said they had the exact same experience, said the owner doesn't care given turnover/no need for repeat biz in such a tourist town. Stay away from this disastrous service by "pretty" (exterior) immature girls. Don't know how the service is from the male staff as I couldn't see any. read more

I was in Whistler during the summer and wanting to check out some of the nightspots. Went into this place because I saw a good crown. Very cool spot for some late night drinks. Gets a good crowd and good music. They had a few local beers and they were quite good, I was able to try a few. Earlier in the day it's also a restaurant although I did not try the food. The staff is very friendly and as busy as it gets they're attentive to everyone making sure everyone is able to get a drink. The decor is pretty interesting too, a little mix of everything. read more

Found mold on the bun...after we ate it...enough said. Sorry but I expect much better than that!

Whistler has it all, you can find just about whatever you crave or desire. However, when one is hungry to the point of extreme crankiness, it seems hard to find something to suit one's craving. I found myself in this situation after wandering the Village to find a late lunch/early dinner after the drive up from Vancouver. After already passing Amsterdam once, we decided to head back that way and just get something in our stomachs. Like so many other Whistler bars, it feels like an old college bar: Sports on the TV's, wood paneling, memorabilia on the walls, pretty waitresses, endless pitchers of beer, and greasy pub fare. I climbed into one of the spacious booths and scoured the menu. Their food menu is fairly small and basic and I couldn't really find anything I desired but I was starved at this point. I went with the veggie burger. Our waitress was very bubbly and conversational. She sat with us and chatted with us for a bit which was pretty cool. She talked about the mountain and gave us lots of cool suggestions. Very helpful in my book. The food wasn't great, about average but not major complaints. I also tasted the Poutine which I'm still frightened by the cheese curds idea but it was actually pretty good. Overall, Amsterdam was a cool place for a simple (albeit overpriced Whistler pub fare) bite and a beer. Service was the best part and it was enough to have me considering returning. read more

This underground bar is in the center of the Whistler Village - it has a casual club-like atmosphere with music and dim lights, as well as a projector airing hockey games. It's a good place to go with a large group (lots of tables and space) and/or to get a cheap(er) drink - they had $13 pitcher specials when I came - but the vibe seemed too divey. One of the beers on tap was completely flat and undrinkable, and many of the glasses were chipped and cracked to the point that they were almost leaking. I would only recommend this bar if you're looking to get drunk with a large group on a weekend. read more

I don't know if it's any good anymore, I tried to go in at 9 p.m. but they had some rule about no snowboard boots!?! 20 years in Whistler and I've never been turned down from a bar for having snowboard boots on. plenty of other places that will let you in for a beer with snowboard boots on. Amsterdam is pretty much a dive bar which is strange that they have a rule like this. read more

Ok there are "boob shots" all plastered all over over the wall - so that kind of tells you what kind of place this is - take that as a good or bad. The staffing model also reflects this philosophy. We had a good time here so chalk me down as happy customer. I wouldn't eat the food here but it's a great place to grab a pint before either heading out to eat or going to another club. read more

We wanted to watch the NFL game and most places were full or didn't have TVs. We ended up here. It is your typical dive bar with typical frozen fried foods and burgers. It is a tiny indoor space with a patio. Service wasn't great we had to go to the bar to order more drinks since the waitress never came back to check on us. There are too many other great places to go, in Whistler. This is a young crowd kind of place or the the type of place you go after eating somewhere else and want good music and a few rounds...late at night. read more

Are you tired of the stupid 20 year old snow ho's who prance around in mini skirts and sleeveless shirts when it's 25 degrees outside and pretend like they're not freezing their asses off? Well I was. Anyhoo, this is why we loved the Amsterdam. Great place for those of us who have already graduated from college. Or at least don't act like dumbass college kids. The crowd is a little older than those other "trendy" places, which was a refreshing change! Drinks were reasonable (not cheap, buy hey, this is Whistler, after all) and the service absolutely wonderful, patient, and speedy. Favorite Whistler bar forevah! read more

Amsterdam Cafe - Great late night fare! - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

My friend and I went to the bar on a Friday night and we each ordered drinks with some fries. I would recommend getting the garlic n' herb fries. The music was great (though a bit loud) and our server was extremely sweet. Based on this experience I would've given the place 5 stars. We decided to come back to this place for brunch on Sunday and got a more sobering experience. After I handed the snotty waitress my ID she rolled her eyes and said, "I said two forms of ID." My friend from Korea also tried to present two pieces of ID and the waitress wouldn't accept one just because she couldn't read it. Well what do you expect from foreigners? The food wasn't that great either. I ordered the margherita pizza which was half burnt and had hardly any tomato sauce or cheese on it. Just pieces of burnt tomato. I actually wanted to throw up a little after lunch. Then at the end I asked the server if she could split our check. She said she won't be able to because it's the weekend so they're too busy. I paused to look around the restaurant and she said, "What? Is that a problem?" Well, half of the restaurant was EMPTY but the service was still slow and the waitress wouldn't stop whining about how busy it was. I recall the place was twice as packed when I came on Friday night and our waitress that night still split the bill for us and the service was much quicker. I think the server on Sunday was just being a lazy POS. Dropped my rating down from 5 to 3 stars because of the crappy service and bad food. Stand up and go sit in another section if you get someone named Darcey. read more

Awesomeness after a long day. Place was pretty full but the service was fast and the schnitzel was delish. I heart gravy. And I heart Canada because it seems like I got gravy on 75% of the dishes that I ordered while I was in the country. The crowd that night seemed pretty cool. As an added bonus, the place was decorated with pictures of cleavage. What's not to love? read more

Great patio to sit and people watch, which is always a fun pastime in Whistler... If it's too late/too busy to get a table on the patio, inside is just as fun. the staff are all great, the music is always good, and how can you go wrong with a place that has pictures of cleavage all around the bar? The food is really good here, last time I was in I had the deep fried pickles. Never had them before and I was a bit skeptical, but man they were delicious! Next time I'm up in Whistler my ass will be happily planted on one of those bar stools for a beer (or 4). read more

I actually didn't try many new restaurants this time around up at Whistler since I wanted a relaxing trip where I could just eat and enjoy my food without needing to get pictures before. We did end up trying Amsterdam Cafe Pub for an early dinner. They have a patio area outside with heated lamps, so great since we were up on the mountains on a rainy and chilly weekend. The pub has minimal service, with you going in and looking for your own seats and a waitress coming to take your order. We shared two dishes including the Canadian Beef Dip, which featured a roasted beef inside a toasted baguette and a side of au jus for dipping. It also came with a serving of fries. At around $12, this was a relatively reasonable price knowing that Whistler can be quite expensive for average food. I like it when my roast beef is medium rare, but this was definitely well done, so it more rough and dry than I'd like. The good thing is that you get the au jus to dip in, so it moistens the beef. However, the au jus was overly salty. Fries were average. The other dish we got were the Honey Garlic Chicken Wings which came with a ranch dip. The wings were dressed heavily in sauce and topped with chopped green onions. I thought they were okay and would've gone great with beer. Wings were crispy on the outside and moist in the inside. Overall, based on the items we tried at Amsterdam Cafe Pub, I thought it was average. Your typical pub food, so don't expect too much. Service was also a bit slow since it was basically one waitress running around to serve all the tables. Good spot if you want food at Whistler that's priced reasonably though. Pros: - Reasonable prices - Decent eats but not amazing Cons: - Service can be a bit slow Price Range: $10-20 1: Terrible 2: Poor 3: Average 4: Good 5: Excellent Food: 3 Service: 2 Ambiance: 2 Parking: N/A Overall: 2.5 read more

Hm, it's ok. We went in twice this past vacation, once we were there for the night, after dinner, for the bar scene. The second time we were just in for a quick drink, then left since the service was so shitty. The bartender was a complete bitch, mostly because we are clearly American, and we didn't know that what we call a Molson's they call a Canadian. So we went elsewhere to continue to wait for our reservation at 21 Steps to become available. I can spend my money at a lot of places, it's my choice...I don't think we will go here again next year. The night before we were in for several hours, but made friendly conversation with others so that made it fun. It was packed, the service was lousy... read more

You get what you pay for. In a tourist city where the price is inflated everywhere this place is a good alternative when you want a quick bite, don't have high expectations and want to sit on a patio.
