Editorial Review for Amsterdam – by James Wevley
In Short
Nestled in downtown Phoenix, this luxuriously appointed bar is a relative newcomer to the scene. Ornately decorated with a marble floor, a chandelier, overstuffed armchairs and wrought-iron barstools, Amsterdam offers a swanky respite from other decibel-heavy clubs. The piano bar and regular live entertainment provide a lounge atmosphere to enjoy custom creations such as the watermelon and appletini.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkTry a custom martini, including chocolate chip and passionflower.
When to GoThroughout the year, the Amsterdam Bar hosts a wide variety of "female illusionists" from Las Vegas and beyond. Singing, lip-synching and performing comedy routines.

Ok...it's a great place to go and hang out. Ambiance is great. What I have noticed though, is if you're a gay man, the bartenders can be a little rude, but that's only because you look better than they do honey and they're just jealous! LOL! Don't take it personally! Yes, the traffic and parking is a biatch, but it won't be that bad after this darn construction is over and done with. It's just a bad time to be downtown right now, so just go early, get a great parking spot, get a great table or seat, get great food and drinks, grab some extra patience and be merry! Yes, more and more straight people are being introduced to the place, so make out more and maybe they'll leave. It's only a temporary trend and they'll start going somewhere else. Prices are reasonable. I've paid $15 for a martini in snottsdale, so they are competitive with their pricing structure. Just remember, if you want cheap drinks, a less crowded enviornment, and more patient servers...then head on over to your local AM/PM, grab some beer or mixers and invite some friends back to your place! Otherwise, relax, have fun and just be yourself!
Pros: nice decor, can be romantic
Cons: Parking...for now

Amsterdam is the place to be on a Friday night! Every Friday for that matter. It's become one of those neighborhood bars with great musis drinks and beautiful people!!! nevermind the overcrowding it's always been, that's what makes the atmosphere that much better. I can however say that the Straights, and by that I mean the STRAIGHT PEOPLE! are somewhat taking over-that's upseting to me and I'm a girl, a straight hot girl..... In any matter Amster-that's what we call it , is the best by far bar I've ver been to, and after all it's all about who you know right. P.s. one of the bartenders in the front is a total hottie........
Pros: Beautiful friendly people
Cons: The parking due to construction.
