Amsterdam Cafe
Reviews
Always a Stone beer on tap, and they are on the distribution route for a single keg of their "Enjoy By" series. Or try something new and ask the bartender what's on the featured taps. One of the annual SF Beer week stops, and it can get pretty busy if you stop by on the weekends. Patio tables are excellent for watching the nightlife.
Nice beer bar. There is a good beer selection, some of which is rotating. This place is relaxed and the bartenders take their time with each customer. Not in a bad way…I like it... but be prepared to wait for your beer for a bit. There isn't any food served here but you can get some takeout and bring it to the back where there is more seating or in the patio section. There are a lot of regulars at this bar so it makes for a good time. All in all this is a solid bar. My boyfriend and I go here at least once a week!
excellent beer selection, you can bring you food into the bar from nearby restaurants. No hookah anymore, and in the heart of the TL, but I still recommend if you're looking for beer beyond lagunitas and racer 5.
Amsterdam Cafe is a beer bar that rivals the famed Toronado and has way less hipsters. For one, you can actually get some decent friendly service and recommendations from hot bartenders here. The prices are reasonable and they have quite a lot of rotating taps. If it's not on tap, they have quite a few bottles in the fridge which are clearly labelled and well priced as well. It seems pretty small from the outside, but the bar has a lot of space and tables in the back. Despite the name, you wont find much smoking or 420 here though, so don't be too disappointed.
Great little gem in the tenderloin, came here after going out on Polk Street for a beer. The bartender is super knowledgeable about the beers.
