Review Amsterdam Bar - Durban

Great vibe, the band, Abahambayo had the whole place heaving. Great for bring and braai on Sunday afternoons too and karaoke Mondays. Love this place, top to bottom, start to finish. Great staff, security, pizza from Berlin. Good prices too.

we loved this place! went there on a Thursday before the public holiday and it was such a vibe — nice fire, amazing DJ, friendly bartender, and good crowd

Amsterdam bar and grill has a lovely homey vibe which is great for some but not for everyone, that being said like most bars there's a click of people who are regulars. Amsterdam's regulars blend in well with new comers and are very welcoming, the bar is as well with a very "welcome home vibe" but I feel like it's too homey, as if it's missing that bar vibe. Nonetheless great service, great foods with decent prices and friendly staff.

Great place for drinks and grub. Frequented by laid back patrons, good value for money. Lovely chill spot at the back. The service is lacking and can be greatly improved through a little training of the staff. One of the reasons for the 4 stars are the great burgers that they have on offer.. Definitely recommend their burger.

Always visit on a weeknight as it's not busy and service is relatively quick. Drinks aren't expensive and food is actually really good. Service is excellent. Great place to hangout with a group of friends.

I literally have nothing negative to say about my experiences here! Loved it

It's a good bar. Kind of like a tavern in the city. They have amazing burgers and sliders.

We struggled to get a waiter to place an order for food. Also, people were smoking dagga inside.

It's an amazing venue, it's just small

It's my home away from home, always the best.

The food here is good. Chicken bunny chow is awesome, not hot, in fact it could use a little more heat. Burgers and ribs are good too.

Came with my brothers to enjoy the Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.Had awesome experience ma Dlamini was serving us and gave good customer service

For a lively night, this is where the kids are having their fun

Decent place for drinks and food. Some days are pretty shit and others good. So yeah. Sometimes the security seems a bit nope... But beyond that, its OK.

Amsties is a decent place to meet up for after-work drinks. I’ve had their beef burgers and meat board on separate occasions and enjoyed both. The service varies from okay on some days to slow on others. Comedy nights every month are a nice touch too!

Decent place for drinks and pub grub. There’s usually cool music and a vibey atmosphere, and the food is tasty and reasonable - we tried some mini bunny chows, chips and onion rings, all of which I enjoyed. Our waitress was a bit awkward, however, so service wasn’t too great.

We went there on Friday night. There was no crowd just a few people here and there....a rather quiet Friday night so we expected great service. We sat down, waited for over 15 minutes while the waitresses stood around the cash register talking. Eventually one decided to come assist us since we were just starring at them as a sign that we need assistance. She gave us the menu and left for another 10 minutes before she came o take our order. Her name is Pamela BTW. Through the night she was more concerned about entertaining some guy who seemed to be her boyfriend because he was sitting in a corner alone and Pamela and her waitress friend kept going to entertain him. The drinks were great, but the waitress not being one bit interested in her job was the downside.

great service, friendly staff, awesome atmosphere... a great way to start your night, we came in a bit late, so the kitchen was closed. but we are definitely going back :)

Beautiful meal, beautiful scene and the perfect place to get your Thursday night started right. The perfect mix between relaxation and party starting. <br/>

Their baskets are pretty good - decent sizes and they taste good too. The staff are all always friendly and the service is good too. A lovely place to just have a drink and chill too.

I came here meeting up with a friend and she had suggested the place, I'm glad she did.<br/><br/>2 words: Comfort. Food. 🍖🍻👌 Big juicy burgers, sauce everywhere, home made fries are hearty with tasty spices and the service is sharp and the staff well prepared. <br/><br/>Had a great time here sadly no pictures 🙈😂 I was too busy enjoying the food.

Always an awesome vibe at Amsterdam. Situated on the bustling active bubbly Davenport Road, it's no wonder this place is never dull. I just had a cocktail but was amazed at how chilled it was sitting there and unwinding. Perfect for those Friday after-work sessions, kicking back with a cocktail or beer or two and having some friendly chatter or watching a big sport game on one of the many TV screens mounted around the place. WHAT A FANTASTICALLY CHILLED ESTABLISHMENT.

Amsterdam is one of those watering holes that always has your back. <br/><br/>Whenever I go back home to visit, there it is with an extensive menu of interesting (cheap) cocktails and shots to share with your friends. <br/>The deck is ideal for Durban weather and Davenport Rd provides a steady flow of entertainment to watch. The last few times I have tried their nachos and can honestly say they are the best I have ever had. (Sorry, Fat Cactus!)<br/><br/>They use authentic nacho chips and layer them with a savory tomato paste before adding a duvet of melted cheese. The quantity of cheese on these nachos is enough to forgive the often weak service and irritating live music.<br/><br/>And of course, they give you little silver tubs of guac and sour cream to go HAM with.<br/><br/>Any time you're in Durbs and need to experience the "chill" everyone knows it for, Amsterdam is great for a relaxing afternoon and then maybe a raucous evening.

Rad place to meet uo with some friends and get proper sloshed, they have a nice outside area so if you don't like dancing or loud music you can chat with your mates. Prices are average and location perfect, I had a fun time.

Absolutely enjoyed my time at Amsterdam. Had their smash burger and wings combo. Burger was really nice and juicy plus full of flavour. As for the atmosphere went in when they had a comedy night so that really helped score points on the vide. I can definitely see myself having a beer with friends here after a long day at work.

Come and relax, great drinks on happy hour, good food and and good music. <br/>Friendly staff and speedy service.<br/>What more can you ask for after a long day at the office.

Escape from franchise quality and come to the goodness of cold beer, burgers & sauce combined with a good vibe and friendly efficient staff.

Popped in for lunch. Great atmosphere, the service was top notch, the waitress was very attentive in a manner that was not annoying. It was the perfect spot to watch the hustle and bustle of durban surbabia. I liked the design of the place, the urinals in the loo are made from beer kegs which I found very creative.<br/><br/>The food: awesome pub grub type of food. The burger could have been better seasoned, but that's a matter of taste I guess. Definitely looking to forward to returning there one of these days for an evening drink.

This is a laid back place where you should feel at home. The service is very relaxed but in a good way. Everyone know each other by name and the music is reminiscent of a friend's high school house party. There is no social anxiety here and the food is hands down the best pub and grill food in KZN

Good pub fare. Best onion rings in town and great baskets. They also do a really good burger and the atmosphere is what one would expect in a pub. The live music and comedy nights are the best.

Nice setting and location. Zero service. Drinks are strong.. If you want that get a jam jar. Blow your mind. When the live music started you can't hear your self think. Way too loud. Live music is great but they need a separate section for it. No aircon what so ever. Was hot hot inside.

Went in on way home for a drink - good vibe, little cold to sit outside and bit stark inside. Ordered nachos and hamburgers which were great - good selection of beer and cocktails - all cold so extra points. Great staff - rushed but friendly. Left before the band started .. Good spot for drink but not great place if you want to chat & spend evening .. Bit noisy but expected in bar. <br/>
