    The beer list
    Brenda C.

    Love this place! The service is great, the bartender is always super friendly and the beer selection is fantastic! If you are looking for a soccer game, this is the place! Nice place to hang out and watch a game with friends. No food, but you can order from places nearby and bring it in, no problem. Come check it out!

    Oh, Amsterdam. You have my heart! I've been coming here for well over 10 plus year and . have seen bartenders come and go, new beers appear and disappear and changes made to the Biergarten. Despite those things, the service has always remained top notch and I'm guaranteed to get a good seat watching a premier league game! This place has been recognized as THE premier league bar in the city (at least that's what I think). They have a plethora of beers on tap (both inside and outside) and plenty of other beers (including na) vodka, whiskey, and etc. While they don't serve food the new place next door, SmashEm's Burger Bar does, in addition to other places on the strip. Before you ask, yes, they allow you bring food inside, and dogs are welcome as well! This seems like one of the few sports bars in the city geared specifically for all things soccer, but it's amazing to see everyone come together and root for their respective team with no hostility. There's hardly ever a wait and if there is, it's small. Def. a place you should check out if you haven't already done so.

    If you're looking for a bar to watch some football (European), this is the spot! It really gave me flash backs of when I lived in France. Club scarves hanging from the ceiling and football (actual football) on the télé. They also had a fairly decent menu and their fish sandwich was delightful!

    Flew in from CT this Monday and instead of going straight to the hotel I wanted to watch game 3 of the Euro 2020: The Netherlands vs New Macedonia. I found this spot on Yelp, and decided to give it a try and to order lunch from the Dam BN'er door (also a 4star review). I walked in and asked for coffee. "No, coffee, you can go across the street for coffee." 'No, coffee in a place named after a city in Holland, where people drink more coffee than water?' was my initial thought. "But are you showing the game?" was my verbal response. "Yes, it is on now." Awkward silence... The all of a sudden, a tennis coach-as I was told later, started to talk to me in Dutch. Somehow he picked up my accent, which I thought was lost after 2 decades in the US. The ice was broken... Robert the owner made me an alcohol free mix of juices. And from there on it felt as I was in a familiar place with familiar people. I enjoyed the conversations and the food I ordered from next door, which was delivered by the way. Amsterdam Tavern a great place to watch soccer in St. Louis with an almost Amsterdam feel. Definitely a place to return to. Hope next time they have 'koffie en een koekje,' as Amsterdammers do!

    Enjoying a Chiefs game in the huge patio area outside.

    This is my favorite sports bar in St.Louis!! You can find just about any soccer match you're interested in showing on at least one screen. Customers are passionate and knowledgeable soccer fans. The staff are GREAT and attentive.

    When you think of a great neighborhood bar plus, then this is the place. This is the kind of place you can go to wearing shorts and a tshirt or a soccer jersey. Soccer you say? This place is where soccer fans go to watch both European and American soccer. So I said neighborhood bar plus, the plus being that you can get a great meal from the Dam next door delivered right to your table and an ice cold beer from the bartender, pretty sweet. Now since I'm an American football fan I never know whether to say football or soccer so I'll just stick with soccer and if you're a fan then this is the place for you. Soccer jerseys and scarfs adorning the walls and ceiling. Enough big screens around that you'll have a great view wherever you are. Super friendly patrons and staff this would be my neighborhood haunt if I lived closed by. You need to give this little neighborhood bar a try.

    Great nonsmoking soccer bar. They offer a good beer selection which goes well with the food you can order next door at The Dam. If you're not a beer drinker, they're a sports bar and will mix you up a simple bar drink too. The ambiance is definitely soccer. This is the place to be seen watching a World Cup or any soccer game for that matter. Our bartender Matt, was friendly and attentive. He told us about the patio expansion which is going to be great for this coming spring and summer. The Amsterdam has always been a great little bar and now with The Dam next door, it just got better. When: 30 Jan 2014 Why: Enjoying a burger from The Dam

    Just because it wasn't what I was looking for, I can't punish the store, and I think I'm not…read more.. But I'm going to admit with "Fox and Hounds", the problem was my expectations. British Bar INSIDE a "British designed hotel", so I had my hopes probably heightened more that it should have with my previous British bar results. I went in thinking British craziness and got a "Edgar Allen Poe" feel... But I'm going to say this was NOT what I was expecting. First and foremost, your eyes are going to need adjusting. Plain and simple, it felt more like a dark ... room? (Part of the problem I think is that as it was already June, you can forget using the fireplace to lighten the room up) so it felt.. "Small", and I"m going to feel weird saying this... "Romantic Horrorfest". Wait, before you go "wha??", this isnt' necessarily a bad thing. The Taxidermy , the photos on the wall. the fireplace. the VERY (and I mean VERY) dim lighting... The limited seating on the main floor, the one door in and out it had a "wooden cabin feel".. Yes, if you had a wonderful romantic film and it was suddenly invaded by some monster villain... This where it would take place and it would be perfect. (See I can find positive things to say about things i wasn't looking for) As for the service, apparently (going back to the Romantic filmfest), I was struggling to get any attention for the bartendress, cause I guess I was solo'ing by myself, and because of how I wasn't able to get the bartendress attention... I kinda felt like an unwanted customer in a place more for couples or friends getting together which had me leaving shortly thereafter, so no real food score (although I will say, much like Oh London ,the menu wasn't really much to work through...), Anyway, no TV's, no world cup game on the air.. just like I said a vibe of a cabin in a "romantic movie, where the monsters lurk". And Apologies for some of the iffy pictures, it just didn't feel right using a flash on the camera in such a secluded locale) and like I said, it wasnt' what I was expecting (rowdy British fans watching the local club or something), but there's something about it that even i have to admit, would make this location a nice "date night" or "out with friends' location, more so than just a single person looking for a nightcap. (And Maybe there really is a monster hiding in the fireplace, to keep the "Horror" feel going?? :)

    Went in late & the bartender was more than accommodating. I had never been to this place- honestly…read moredidnt even know it was in the hotel. Its a dark cabiny vibe.

    ++++ food ++++ family atmosphere…read more The food here is delicious! I ended up getting the LW burger with pub cheese and it came with shoe string fries, the burger was thick and juicy, while the shoe string fries with garlic aioli as my sauce was, perfect! This is a pretty good family atmosphere, they have high top tables but also had high top high chairs! A real positive in our book, haven't ran into many restaurants that have this option. I would suggest if you have little ones to order your food when they take your drinks because the service can be hit or miss depending on the time you go, and food can take a little longer than expected. So get the little ones ordered in first and then decide on the adults.

I only saw two high top tables for two people and they were in corners. So we sat in a corner on backless stools. Stools in restaurants should have backs!Pretty uncomfortable and we won't do that again. It also has really high ceilings so it got pretty loud in there. Our server was Erin and she was good! The place was packed inside and outside (in the rain - there were umbrellas over the tables) so the staff was super busy. She kept the drinks and food coming at a good pace. We started off with drinks and onion rings. We had been told how good the onion rings were so we had to order them - they lived up to the hype! I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband is. He had three different ones and didn't really enjoy any of them. He tried Tidewater Plains, Master of the Universe, and Batholith. I had a Jungleberg cocktail and liked it so much, I ordered another one. The server said they were out of them. There were five ingredients in the drink so I have no idea what they were out of. I ordered a Spicy Ancho Margarita and it was okay. It shouldn't be called spicy, because it is not. I ordered Chicken Wings and Onion Soup. Yes, it was summer. But it was cold and rainy and soup sounded good! The soup was very good - very cheesy and they didn't put a chunk of bread in there to get all soggy, which I appreciated. The wings were okay. They were way too saucy for me. My husband got the Philly and said it was okay, but nothing special. I would have probably given 3.5 stars, but that is not an option. I'd go back for the onion rings!

    You could see this place being lit on St. Patrick's Day…read more It's a deceptively large space, perhaps owing to it being situated on a street that's more along the lines of an alley, along with a few government and industrial buildings. It already smells vaguely of mop water, so it wouldn't be an issue if someone barfed. This place pours a good Guinness draft. Not that I'm an expert. The last few times I had it, it was in the weird cans with the dispenser thing inside of them, years ago. Probably decades ago. But I appreciate the fact that it's served kinda warm, and without too much of a head, meaning you get more beer for your $10, or whatever they're charging you. The food isn't half-bad either. All the photos on Yelp make it look gross, like maybe they were taken in low light, or a long time ago. Possibly both. It was all lit up when I was there, at maybe 8 PM on a Wednesday evening. Does this place turn into some sort of nightlife destination for local boomers? I might drive by this evening and see if I see a bunch of golf carts parked out front. You can't go wrong with a burger in a place like this, so that was the plan. They offer something called the Pub Burger, which comes on an English muffin. It's hard to imagine how that could be a good idea, but I briefly considered it anyway, for the sake of citizen food journalism. The problem is, I would have had to eat it. There was also something called the Llywelyn, served on toasted brioche, which is what I probably should have gotten. I got something called the Diner, which was fine. As its name suggests, it's a bog standard double cheeseburger, like something you might get in, erm, a diner. It was good but not great, but I've been spoiled when it comes to burgers lately, having hit Hi Pointe, Shake Shack and Salt & Smoke all within the past few weeks. The ingredients were really good, including the vegetable toppings, which were fresh and expertly sliced. I especially liked the razor-thin onion slices. The thing that would have really elevated it is if the burger patties had a little char to them. The fish and chips looked good, and I appreciate the fact that they already had malt vinegar out on the table, as if it's a standard condiment. I might have to try that, if I return. I don't know how often I'd eat here otherwise, but a group I belong to meets here on occasion, so that's not outside the realm of possibility.

We walked around looking at art for a while. There was music being played on stage that was not pleasing to the ear (I'm trying to put it nicely), and it was super loud. There has been music other years that wasn't great, but at least it wasn't really loud! After a while, we decided to have lunch. As much as I love the patio, we opted to ear inside so we could be in the AC for a while. We were seated right away - 5 adults and a toddler. The dining room was full - I think everyone was cooling off! We waited maybe 15 minutes and nobody had come by our table. I know they were busy, but come on. Finally I got a staff member's attention and asked if we could please have a server. A gal came over and apologized and said she wasn't told she had our table. She was still waiting on tables outside and we had to wait longer still to place our orders. After all that, she forgot to order all of the food. One person in our group didn't get any food.

    My husband and I came down to Webster for Happy Hour at Frisco Ballroom and they were INSANELY…read morebusy, so we started searching for another one. It was already getting late so we were worried we wouldn't find one in time, when this spot popped up! Their Happy Hour goes until 6:30!! I was a little nervous for parking in this area, but it's far enough down that we had no issues. We walked in and luckily, two people were packing up at the bar, so we snagged their spots. Happy Hour is limited to the bar area only. I have no idea why I haven't heard more about this spot, and I'm honestly surprised it's not hyped up more! They use a lot of local, fresh vendors for their ingredients, and the spot is very clean and welcoming. The bartender was great all night, he gave top notch service. The food menu looks phenomenal, and they have have a lot of great options on the Happy Hour menu itself. I just got a couple glasses of house wine for a great price and my husband got a couple beers, which even the NICE ones were only $5. Their cocktails looked bomb too, we'll have to come back and try some. The beef tacos had REALLY great flavor, the fries were ginormous, crispy and cooked to perfection, and even the whipped feta was tasty. The bread they served it with was bomb. Such a cool spot, great prices, and super high quality. We will definitely be back.
