"Owner Martin Terporten opened this classy old-world European cocktail bar back in October with a strong list of seasonal drinks, spritzes, and low-to-no ABV sips. The Netherlands native chose East Nashville for his bar, and it’s been a welcome addition to the neighborhood ever since thanks to cocktails like the La Primavera with tequila, St. Germain, Creme de Mure, lemon, and vanilla extract, paired with bites like crunchy fried gravy balls, fries topped with Dutch mayo and curry sauce, and free bowls of popcorn." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

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.

Immaculate vibes! Beautiful, creative bar program. Had the bijou and the mistress, cocktails opposite each other and both perfectly balanced and delicious. Fries with the Dutch mayo were fresh, hot and tasty. House limoncello was bright and bold. Esteban took amazing care of us. We will definitely be visiting this gem again and telling friends.

Had a couple of great drinks and conversation with the owner. Learned a lot about unique spirits and loved the atmosphere. Great to support a local business and owner passionate about cocktails and providing a warm and welcoming space as a quiet haven in Nashville! Highly recommend this place and will be coming back when we’re back in the area!

A classy speakeasy reminding you of the neighborhood spot in Europe; this is our place in East Nashville for a chic cocktail. Whether letting traffic die down after work or meeting friends, the Amaterdamian sets the mood with style. Oh, and Martin and his staff make drinks that live rent free in my head afterwards. Risking a review to support him while I hope we can still get seats after he gets his due acclaim.

Stopped in for drinks after finding it here on Google. An innocuous high-end bar tucked away and hidden in a small strip center. Great service, great drinks, very cool vibe and ambiance. Would definitely return to just chillax and sample more of the unique menu selections.

Of all the cocktail bars in Nashville, this is up there with the best in terms of unique, high quality cocktails. Expertly crafted by the same people who serve them to you. They take pride in their creations and their talent shines in them. A must if you love cocktails. I was impressed.

Always an amazing time!!! Unbelievable cocktails and the staff is amazing. Great place for an intimate drink or drinks with friends. The owner (Martin) and bartender (Esteban) even helped me plan popping the question to my now fiancée. Thank you for everything and will always be back!!!

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 & lime ‍ It was an absolute dream! My husband 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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
