The Amsterdamian

I’m a local and recommend this cute cocktail joint to anyone in East. They have a jamming playlist at all times, and the drinks are superb! The vibe in the intimate venue is perfect for a date or with your crew - cannot recommend enough. Love the menu and the owner is so genuine. Expect great and tailored service. You won’t regret stopping in here. It is curated in the best possible way and super intimate. Nash needs more places like this.

What a find! Located in East Nashville, we ventured into the Amsterdamian unsure of what our experience would be. It’s a discrete entrance in a small building next to a pizza shop. When you walk in you’re transported into another world! This little cocktail lounge has a super chill vibe with the bar giving subtle shoutouts to one of my favorite cities, Amsterdam ♥️ There’s cute little couches and chairs to have some nice convo with friends and those you love all while sipping some amazing cocktails!! I got the What’s My Sage Again which was super refreshing herbaceous and citrusy with gin, sage, peach 🍑 and lime 🍋‍🟩 It was an absolute dream! CL got Amalfitano, a citrusy gin old fashioned 🥃 The cocktails.. on point! Absolutely recommend this place. The bartender was great and matched the vibe. I wish we had gotten his name but we were so impressed with the little gem we were sitting in we didn’t make much small talk other than drink recommendations. They also have a few mocktails and snacks available. We were headed to dinner for our next stop so we didn’t try anything but we definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some good cocktails in the area!

Holly is the best! Everything she made was very tasty, she was extremely nice and lovely and made us feel very welcome. It’s super chill and really nice inside. You can make reservations which is super cool. I highly recommend this place if you like chill European vibes. Get the Midnight in Hollywood drink!!

Esteban knows how to make cocktails. I’m picky about my Clover Club and he made it perfectly. And you would be surprised how many mess up an Aperol Spritz, but his was a harmonious balance of all ingredients. We will be back! Cheers!

I am not sure if they serve food here but the cocktails are phenomenal, I tried two tequila cocktails and really enjoyed both of them, I went there for a comedy open mic and it was really fun.

Loved the vibe of this quaint new addition to the east Nash’s cocktail lounge scene! Don’t go by the surroundings, it’s very cute inside. Absolutely loved the cocktail “What’s my Sage again?” It’s a beautiful concoction of gin, sage syrup, peach purée served up in coupe garnished with a sage leaf 🍃. Loved the simplicity of the presentation. There aren’t many booths inside, 4-5 two-seaters and 2 bigger booths apart from the bar seating. We were able to find a booth easily for our party. The bathroom is very nice, there’s only one inside for all genders. There’s also a fresh popcorn machine, with a few seasonings there for self-serve. I’ll definitely be visiting again! Loved my experience there.

Great house and classic cocktails done amazingly! Cool vibe and friendly staff!

The evening started out fine until the bartender refused to let my friend switch spirits for her cocktail, then when I requested that the margarita have less sugar he tried to mansplain how a drink should be made. Then when I just asked him for a tequila soda he said we needed to leave. I had ordered food and he threw the receipt on the table, into my food, then when I gave him two separate cards to close the check, he charged my card solely and for the food that he took away from me before I was even able to eat it, stating that I complained that he touched it and that he didn’t have to go boxes. I have never been to a more pretentious place in my entire life, and I used to work in the yachting industry, and I work for A level musicians. The bartender was a wee man who spoke in octaves far below his voice and had a complex about anyone just having a drink of their choice that wasn’t based on his menu. When I told him that it was my drink and it was OK for me to modify it he told me “it may be your drink, but it’s my menu”. Customer service is key. All he had to do was say OK no problem and make me my drink, not explain how things needed to be. It’s not your way or the highway. I will never go back there. I will never recommend it to my friends. There are 1 000,000 cocktail bars in East Nashville, and Nashville, that are far more deserving of your money. The olives came straight from a package. They didn’t warm them, the toasty was probably fine until he stole it from my table pre-bite. Zero stars, zero tip and I will be disputing it with my credit card company..

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.

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!

Love this place! Drinks are strong and delicious. Bar snacks are dope. Came on a late wintery night in January and Martin hooked us up with some bites despite the kitchen being technically closed. Feels local, very East Nash. The velvety booths are just so comfy! Parking can be tricky as the little strip mall lot doesn't have too many spots but y'all should be ubering anyway how they make the drinks ;)

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!

AMAZING! what a great chill vibe to have instead of something so rowdy. The atmosphere is amazing the service is on point, I will be coming back. The cocktails are absolutely incredible fresh flavor you can tell they put a lot of heart into it.

Super cozy spot with great vibes. Martin is a professional at what he does, thanks for the excellent drinks and good times!

Great place to meet a friend, take a first date or just go solo and chat with Martin, the bar tender. The drinks are really great and the space is a vibe. The bathroom has a really cool mirror ceiling too.

Love this place! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, the drinks were delicious, and loved the vibe. The decor is unique, the seating was super comfortable, and loved the chill lighting. This is such a cool spot to have drinks with friends or a date night

A cute local find in east nashville. The owns are passionate about cocktails and do a good job. The cocktail menu can evolve more but the existing one is nice and simple. Love the complimentary fresh popcorn machine with different flavors. Its a cute casual bar to hit any-day for a good drink.

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.

Great atmosphere, excellent bartender, drinks tasted fabulous, strong and tasty, cool location with easy parking

Ambiance was great! Prohibition era type vibe. Drinks were amazing along with awesome service! Love small retro dives like this where someone has a dream & they made it come true. It's what makes Nashville, Nashville!!!

The Amsterdamian is absolutely stunning. You are instantly transported to a sophisticated European setting with a chic, art deco vibe. The cocktails are masterfully curated with impressive detail. The smoked rosemary was a sensory experience. Almost too perfect to be a drink! The bartenders greet you with genuine hospitality. I highly recommend this intimate cocktail lounge as a reprieve from the otherwise hectic Nashville bar scene.

The ambiance here is amazing!!! We had several drinks but the tequila drink was by far our favorite! You can tell they take special care in creating their cocktails and everyone was super friendly! Will definitely be back!

Customized cocktails upon request, friendly staff, clean and aesthetically pleasing. Good vibes

The cocktails were nothing short of 5 Stars! The service was outstanding. Esteban was masterful in his cocktails and we cannot wait to go back!!!
