Aqua Vitae
Erin C.

My friend and I had a lovely time visiting The Amsterdamian. We each had 3 drinks and then ordered food. I had the grilled goat cheese toasty with fig jam, and my friend had the french fries. I ordered the Aqua Vitae, the Pink Elephant, and the Rye Tai. All of my drinks were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Drinks range from $12-$16, which is very reasonable. I loved the toasty as well, perfectly done and it came out within a good time frame. Our servers were very kind and patient. Even when a large bachelorette party came in, we were still receiving service in good time and never felt like the ambiance was impacted by the others in the space. It is a very small bar, but there were plenty of seating options in either chairs with tables, private booths, or bar seating. Low-key vibes, great ambiance and drinks, kind and patient bartenders, and good art. There were only two people working, so please be patient when choosing this location, they are working very hard to maintain this atmosphere.

What a cool place. It's unassuming from outside, but very elegant inside. We had Holly as our bartender and she was fantastic. Knowledgeable, kind, funny and talented. She created the drink Midnight in Hollywood which was delicious! Highly recommend. They do events here as well like silent discos, speed dating, comedy, and burlesque. We will absolutely be coming back here.

Great new addition to the east side. I stopped in for a mother/daughter night and we couldn't have been more pleased. It was a nice, quieter atmosphere, allowing for good conversation. The layout is very cute and intimate and the chairs are comfortable. They have a serve-yourself popcorn machine and small bites to eat. I was interested in the toasties but we had dinner plans after. We each ordered 2 cocktails and all of them ere top notch. I usually avoid the vodka drink section but I got to task the pink elephant because my mom ordered it and man was it a good flavor combo. Service was well paced and the bartenders were friendly. Can't wait to go back!

Not only were the drinks really good but so was the service, I wanted something that wasn't on the menu and the server was able to come up with a creation that was very similar to what I was wanting. The lighting is very dark, which is nice for a date or just a sexy vibe. The seating was comfortable and secluded, the decorations were pretty unique as well!

Such a cute spot... you'd never realize it's in a little strip mall! Great service the staff is sweet and helped when we mentioned we had an allergy. Charcuterie was great I wish they still were doing the fondue I see in other reviews on here... but they aren't :( overall, great experience and will come back!

Awesome cocktails with a great atmosphere. Check it out if you want a great bar with great bartenders.

Great new addition to east Nashvilles bar/food scene. The owners were very friendly, the cheese was to die for. Possibly the coolest bathroom in the city. Think if Salazar Slytherin owned it. Cocktails were all on point. I suggest the buttered rum for these cold holiday nights.

East Nashville's newest, coziest mini elevated cocktail lounge. The Amsterdamian is the perfect spot to catch a drink!

Reviews are largely positive. People love the creative cocktails, cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. Light bites and tasty bar snacks are also enjoyed.

My friends and I were on vacation in Nashville and this was my absolute must visit spot based on…read moreall the great reviews I had seen. Now if I had known about the new ownership and lack of availability of what I ASSUMED the cocktail menu would be, I might have reconsidered going but this review isn't about that... its all about the staff at Tiger Bar who were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! What an amazing duo we encountered behind the bar! They did their absolute most to find us a drink we would enjoy and even saved my boyfriend from being attacked by bees outside. I'm sure there's changes people aren't too stoked about but the people who make these cocktails really do care about what you want and how to serve you best. I wish for the life of me I could remember their names but I can only hope they see this and know that I am so thankful for their kindness My only regret was not being able to go back before we left. Thank you folks at Tiger Bar!!!

We loved Tiger Bar when it first opened. The cool décor, unique cocktails, tasty food, exceptional…read morestaff, and great music created an atmosphere that made it a fun and distinctive place for an evening out with my husband or friends. Sadly, since the change in ownership, it seems to have gone downhill quickly. On our recent visits, they no longer had the ingredients needed to make many of the cocktails, the food has essentially disappeared from the menu--with only popcorn available--and the music was so painfully loud that we felt like we needed earplugs. What was once a unique destination now feels like just another bar on the Gallatin strip, which is really disappointing because the original Tiger Bar had so much character and potential. At this point, I would even suggest considering a name change. Many of the older, glowing reviews reflect the Tiger Bar that existed under the previous ownership and, unfortunately, don't represent the experience today. If it had not been for the kind staff (I counted only 3 which may explain why tables were sticky) I would give zero stars. Giving 2 stars because the staff was friendly and kind and seemed to be trying , the bar tender did attempt to offer drink suggestions. They are not the blame for downfall of a once cool bar and vibe.

I recently tried the cucumber salad and am now obsessed. I hope this is not a seasonal item. The inside is a wine bar with plenty of options to choose from. Even if you aren't getting wine or one of the batched cocktails in side I still recommend walking through. The vibes are high and the interior design is gorgeous. The outside had plentiful seating. If you're lucky, you might get a seat around a real wood fireplace. If I could suggest one thing to Urban Cowboy it would be to provide blankest to those sitting outside without the fire place. I believe they do have blankets set out but I was unsure if I could take them so I just left them on the chair. I think it would be better to have an area with a sign saying "blankets for guests" or something along the lines. I always get a dirty martini at Urabn Cowboy. Its crisp yet dirty and always hits the spot. Another good option here is a aperol spritz. Theres always a line at the bar. I've talked to the bartenders and he confirmed you DO NOT have to line up in a single file line but it always happens. You can walk up like a normal bar and order!!

This bar off of Dickerson is still a total…read morevibe, and my friends and I had a great time at their frozen drink cocktail competition last night. Sponsored by a rum company, they invited five local bars to BYOB (bring your own blender) and whip up their best frozen cocktail on the beautiful Cherries patio. It was $10 to try all of the samples, which was a great deal! We had fun voting on which drink was our favorite, and loved the representation from different local favorites. Happy hour runs until 8 PM, which is also a solid deal. We skipped the food this time around, and instead walked over to Gus's Fried Chicken after the cocktail competition wrapped up. Then we headed back to Cherries for another round. I had the Buck Cherry, which is smokey and boozy with cherry-flavored undertones. Overall this was a great night, and I'd definitely return to grab drinks at Cherries again soon!
