Stopped by before a show at The Beacon. Good beer selection. Decided to share the loaded nachos with pulled pork, it was a large portion, and very tasty. Not so with the Buffalo cauliflower wings. The taste was OK, but the breading was soggy, mushy. They should be fried til nice and crispy, then tossed in sauce right before serving. They tasted more like a bad frozen meal from a store and microwaved. The server was great and was able to take it off our bill.

Not the first time here and it's a good local neighborhood bar. They have a ton of outdoor seating, in front, on the side and a large curb side shelter as well.
Lots of craft beer on tap and full menu. Service was prompt, hostess seated us outside right away and server was right over. They brought a water dish for my dog. I did feel the mozzarella sticks were pretty skinny but I guess those are the times.
Overall great place for a brew and food.

5 stars across the table! My wife and I love this place! We visited NYC for a few days and came here multiple times, the food was so incredibly good. The service was also great! The bison burger was life changing 😅

Was in the city for a day trip and we happened upon Amsterdam Ale House to get a quick bite to eat. Food selection was great and tasted pretty good. I thought the prices were a little high for a very greasy burger, however. The fries were great and beer selection was good, however the beer was not as cold or carbonated as I would have liked. The place gets very crowded after 4, but our waiter was still very attentive . Overall I would definitely go back for another meal.

A small beer selection with good bar food. We stopped her for dinner one evening.
Wife had the French Onion soup to eat. It tasted good.
I chose to have the Tuna burger with the onion rings, with a Maudite to drink. The burger was great. Packed with flavor and fresh vegetables on top. It was hard to put down.
The onion rings were crisp and perfectly breaded and fried.
The Maudite was cool, crisp, had a nice taste of a Barley ale. If I could stock that on the regular, back home, I would do it!

We had chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, a quesadilla, chicken wings and tots and they were all pretty good, about what you'd expect for bar food. Service was pretty fast, too.

Amsterdam Ale House is about as standard of a sports bar as they come.
Plenty of beers on tap, a wide variety of foods, and plenty of TVs for sports viewing.
The service is solid, and the atmosphere is friendly. We would probably only give the food about a 3/5, but the drinks and sports-viewing experience is top-notch!

We had the best experience. AC was our main server. He was fantastic. Helped my husband make his dinner choice and he was spot on. He was funny and entertaining and really made the experience wonderful. He knew we had the Andy Grammer show and told us when to leave and where to check in. Now for the food. My angus burger was to die for. Best burger I have had in a long while. Hubby had the fish tacos and they were terrific. He is a foodie so will try and replicate at home. Our son had the Bison burger which looked amazing and he said was wonderful too!.
Thank you for making our first night out in a loooonnnggg time such a wonderful experience. We will be back for sure!

Great bar. Came with a group and were accommodated. Bear in mind that it does get busy after 5ish and you might have a hard time getting a seat if you’re more than 2 people. Happy hour is 3-6 on weekdays

Lots of beer on tap to choose from. Had a great Guiness in the correct glass - bravo!
There were lots of high top tables w table service, got our food pretty quick. I had the turkey reuben sandwich. Looked like a photo on the plate, but the turkey was very processed. That's my only complaint.
The kooky animal portraits in the restroom were unexpected and worth checking out.
All in all, if you want a friendly crowd to have some good beers and watch some sports, I'd recommend the ale house.

Always busy here so sometimes getting a another drink may take longer than you'd like. But servers have been nice and everyone seems to make an effort, a good place to grab a bite to eat before a nearby show.

We had some beers and a burger. The food and service were very good. We also ordered the stuffed pretzel, which turned out to be meh, but otherwise, a good experience overall
Erica Burtoff/Kurtz
This food was excellent! It wasn’t very busy so all the food came out hot and absolutely perfect. I could complain but since the food was that good I can give a pass on it being very cold in the back room and it was a long wait for it being slow. This place I plan to return to!

Along with the Emerald Inn, the Amsterdam Ale House is my favorite pub on the Upper West Side. I have been here many times over the years it's really the best pub in the area. Both the food and service at this establishment are solid. If you are in the area the Amsterdam Ale House definitely has my recommendation if your looking for a pub.

There are a lot of draft beers on tap and some unique ones to choose from as well.
The food is definitely "bar" food, but not bad, just average. I would definitely recommend visiting here while you wait for a reservation nearby or to kill time with a group or date.
