“ We came to Amsterdam Ale House after the NYC marathon. It was packed but had great service and tasty food. The atmosphere was fun and cozy. ”

“ Loved our little pit-stop here at Amsterdam Ale House. You don't need my review to add to the accolades of a cozy beer stop with great service and good snacks. We saw a couple of lunch plates go by and they looked amazing as well. The service behind the bar was so helpful and we enjoyed just visiting and having an ice cold beer while the weather outside cooled down. Loved it! ”

“ Good place for burgers and beer. The inside is a typical bar, kind of dark with lots of wood. Outdoor seating is the place to be on a nice day. I liked that the tables were on 76th St., which has much less traffic than Amsterdam Ave. The tables are set along the restaurant wall so you're not exposed to foot traffic. I had the Angus burger which came loaded with a good size patty, lettuce, tomato, onion and sliced pickle. You get a choice of a bunch of sides including fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, salad, etc. I appreciated that there was no upcharge for sweet potato fries or onion rings, unlike most places. The buns are English Muffins and I wasn't sure how I would like that, but they turned out to be good! Service was good, the server came by frequently. She wasn't too familiar with the beer choices which is a bit odd given it's their specialty so as long as you don't need a recommendation you'll be fine. Amsterdam Ale is in a central location on the UWS and I would return. ”

“ What I liked: - seating outdoors and indoors. - the bartender. She was from Ireland and was very attentive Was less impressed with the craft beer selection; especially the choice of IPAs. ”

“ ALLAGASH !! please please try it I am not big on beer usually. I never knew what type of beer I liked or cared enough to find out...however when I tried Allagash ..wow I have never drank beer that fast. Allagash is light, and not bitter at all. I wish they sold it in Texas :') Like I said, I wasn't big on beer so I'm not sure how to explain it in beer terms or do it justice with words. I know my taste buds may be biased but I believe this is in their happy hour menu so if you're iffy about paying full price for it, just try it during their happy hour. Food wise.. the NACHOS wow are they PACKED! they load the nachos up and at the end put it in the oven to melt the cheese on top. it does not make the chips under soft. I know the reviews here are not the best but my experience there has been great so I hope whoever reads this will give them a shot :) ”
