Great classic looking pool hall with history behind it. Great and welcoming atmosphere. Hours of enjoyment can be had here rather you are playing solo, with a partner or in a league.
Great setting, excellent tables,good food and drinks . You may wear down the digits on credit card but you will leave smiling .
One of the best pool halls I have ever been to. The waitresses were kind and polite. The atmosphere wasnt smokey or bad smelling. I drove 90 minutes from Connecticut for a pool lesson with one of the best players to ever hold a pool cue, Thorsten Hohmann. And even though I was handicapped, he was excellent in his delivery and methodology. He made me feel comfortable and made sure it was worth every penny I shelled out. Learning from him gave me hope and optimism. Heck, he even helped us find a parking spot after driving around the block a few times - because as you know, its NYC. I have nothing negative to say and I cant wait for my next lesson in the coming weeks. I highly recommend Mr. Hohmann and Amsterdam Billiards to anyone.
Great place to play if u like pool or ping pong. Lots of fun, nice friendly staff
What a great place to spend an afternoon. We randomly stumbled upon this place and decided to go in and shoot some pool (billiards). The tables were very well maintained and the atmosphere of the place was really nice. In just observing others, there were a lot of great players. You pay per person by the hour and the rates do differ from weekday to weekend. Overall a great place to kill some time and sharpen some skills.
Pool hall is really good alot of celebritys go there overall the place is really nice to hangout out and play pool darts beer pong and all nice atmosphere
Great tables. 9 foot Brunswick Gold Crowns with ball returns and Simonis 760 cloth.Overhead hanging lights directly above the tables.Plenty room for rail shots. Im 5-7 and my butt didnt touch the other table during rail shots.Definitely will go back.
The staff here is very good at checking on you and are friendly. Plenty of open tables due to Covid-19 however Ive seen this place packed before and I know it will again soon. The price for the location is ideal a bit pricey but the fun you will have is more than enough to keep you coming back for more fun
Very nice place to go on a rainy day. Big area, great menu, nice staff.
Very nice clean place. Plenty of tables. And great service.
Veey cool place to hang out with friends for drinks and pool. Highly recommend. Oh and the manager Fahd was Awsome very professional.
A happy discovery when after a late night supper, we were still too wired to home and just wanted a place to relax and hang out. Well-maintained and with great service even at 2 in the morning. For serious and casual pool players alike.
Great tables! Good decor, very old fashioned. Really cool place to play pool every time I go. I just wish they had a better array of bar food.
$13/h per person for worn down tables wasnt good value. The food took more than 30 minutes to arrive, and when we asked why it was taking so long we were told they dont have a kitchen onsite and had to order in.
Location is a bit dated. The prices were a bit steep but then again they arent that many billiard spots in NYC. The drinks were okay. But I do recommend the personal pizzas. They were pretty tasty for bar type food. There was a older gentleman working the front and he seemed a bit disgruntled. The waitstaff was a bit aloof. Overall the place was okay, we played pool. But I doubt that Id come here again.
Very welcoming, the staff is happy! A cool place to hang out with friends for sure!
The person at the front was terribly rude for which we left… you’re supposed to be polite to customers not disrespect them. Will never be going there again
Great place, we went early afternoon, plenty of tables open. Nice people, quality tables and good pours at the bar.
This place is amazing. Plenty of tables for you to play. Come and enjoy the fun !!
100 minutes was $120.. super expensive to play pool, but a good time and good vibes.
Good, but expensive,$ 78 dollars for a little more than 3.15 hours to play and the an outrageous $ 9.25 for a Corona . Now that hurts
The staff are so rude and unprofessional. Don’t waste your money to come here.. zero experience
Nice environment and not that expensive on a week day with a larger group!
One of the great places to relax and chill with your buddies. You could even pick up some games of pool with others. They offer a wide range of games such as pool, darts, beer pong and table tennis but would have to pay extra. The bar and drinks in general are great, but most of all, the place is spacey!
Decent place to play pool but way too expensive! $17 per person per hour.
Ok so Im from Brooklyn and wanted to try a different spot to play pool 🎱. Amsterdam biiliards is a great place to go play pool and just hang out. Plenty of tables. The tables are actually pretty good to play on.
I was there during an early afternoon, to meet and enjoy time with outstanding peers from work before going for some vegan food. Place was clean, organized, and not crowded. Tables were well leveled and balls ran well.
That a space this big exists in the village is damn near a miracle. That it has been here for this long is equally unique. No frills. Unpretentious. And a good spot on a cold and rainy day to stay inside and play some games.
I absolutely love Amsterdam Billiards. I started coming here in 2008 when a show I was working played at Webster hall across the street.Having since moved to NYC in over a decade ago I have been consistently going to Amsterdam. Ive taken friends and family when they visit from out of town and my now wife and I had our second date here.I am so thankful that this institution survived the pandemic. Amsterdam Billiards was the first place my friends and I went to when we felt safe enough and were vaccinated.If youre looking for an awesome, quiet, well run establishment to play pool and have a couple drinks then this is your place. Oh also they have ping pong, darts, beer pong, and a few other ways to make a great night. Do yourselves a favor and stop in, you wont regret it.
Nice spot to hang out with friends or take a date. Friendly staff checked will make sure youve got drinks when you need them.
So much fun! The prices are pretty good and the people are amazing. The drinks taste good and there are lots of tables to play in
Can’t really ask for more in a pool hall. Servers were attentive. I went here with a friend and for this age we’re in what they do seems to fare well. Just a temperature check and waiver. Lots of tables so there was no wait. We had a good time. $32 for a table rent and then charged by the minute.
Drinks are trash but everything else is great!
Sure the billards tables are nice and plentiful but its too overpriced to be worth more than a brief visit. Pay close attention to the prices, if you bring a bunch of friends to hang out for a few hours you could easily be looking at a $200++ bill, not counting drinks.
Awesome place in Manhattan, really had a great time
A bit pricy but great ambiance and staff, nice tables and great location
Great place to shoot some pool. They offer drink service right to your table. Lots of fun. Absolutely recommend stopping by if your in the neighborhood.
The bouncer/ owner were selective in who they let in - there was a very distinct look they were going for. Eventually, we were told that it would be $250.00 for me and my two girlfriends to enter, at 1AM, when it closed at 2AM. Not worth it, dont go.
Nice tables good drinks lack of food options
It has boring music & loud drunks. Plus its too expensive for the interior design. Its not high class and they charge hotel prices for drinks. I don t recommend it for a fun night out.
Nice place, courteous service, more or less clean. And all the cue sticks that I checked were straight.
Its alright, there are better pool halls in the city.
The staff here were extremely friendly and helpful. Great ambiance and good-quality pool-tables. Definitely will be back in the near-future
We rented the place for a couple of hours for a memorial to say good by to our dearest loved one. Everything went smoothly and everyone there was very friendly. I highly recommend going there for a good time.
Hey very nice & cozy atmosphere to play your favorite game classic tables & service on the money enjoy
Great place to have a good time.
This is the premier pool hall in NYC. You cant beat it. 30+ years of history. The location might have changed over the years, but the people are still the same and they are all great! You wont regret spending some time here!
Simply one of the best pool halls in the world.Level tables beautifully maintained, great (COVID friendly) spacing, and the service is friendly and efficient too.
Great place with an relaxing vibe. Everyone who goes here seems to just want to chill and play pool. Great place to come with friends, family, coworkers.
Awesome place! Great service! Great management! Great leagues and matches!
Very relaxed atmosphere. Excellent for grabbing a drink to catch up with a friend as its not too loud to hear each other, but sufficiently busy that you dont feel youll be overheard.Small caveat might be hard to get a table for every long if you go there in league night, but the bar is still a good spot to hang out.
Not somewhere I would go for food, or just to drink. Great place to have a beer and play some pool, though. Especially since the staff is great and so nice.
Clean! Good food COLD BEER! Pro tables
I went there twice and I loved it. Place is so big.
So big and very fun ! Staff is great ! Drinks are great ! I will ve returning alot more !
Super friendly and great place to hang out and play pool. The staff is super friendly and the drinks are actually very good especially considering the prices. Theres more than enough tables that you dont have to wait and youre guaranteed to enjoy yourself. The atmosphere is very relaxed and theres no pressure and nobody gets in the way of each other while theyre playing pool. Highly recommend a good place to relax.
Bartender Jenn is awesome. Actually too awesome, made me stay an extra 2 hrs lol
They make you wait 30+ minutes before playing even though most tables are empty. Prob trying to have you buy extra drinks. Otherwise a good spot
Friendly staff. Good tables.
I just wish they served food.. it would help with my drinking. BTW, I dont remember her name but the bartenders know how to hook u up. I went home leefing extra nice. Lol
Good tables. Pricey though, and they charge per person.
Been here twice and I love it here! Staff is awesome, very friendly and inviting! Definitely looking to come back for many more visits😎🤙
Super cool spot we found while in Manhattan. Great low key spot for beer and billiards!
I recently came here with a friend to play some pool late at night. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait before we got a table, which was fine because there were plenty of places to sit down and chill. The tables were in great shape, and everything was in good working order. We had a great time and would definitely come back.
We visited on Saturday night from 7 to about 10ish. Good place, well maintained, clean, quite crowd. Everyone pretty much interested in playing pool, no fooling around. They have plenty of tables. $15 per person per hour. Min 1 hour, after hour they can count per min (based on the same $15 per hour). Drinks selection is so so, but acceptable for this place since its to play pool really.
My boyfriend and I love this place! Music is not loud, Teresa the bar tender is DA best of the best! and Manager, as well as the receptionist are super great! They always spoil us!
Quite a nice club (though I was there not to shoot pool as its not my gig) . Big bar but not much room on the side. I was there to celebrate a bday of a friend and as I was not playing ... Got a little bored
Very cool place to hang out and shoot pool. The hostess is an Asian woman who was very sweet to us and makes you feel very welcome. The waitress service is great. They have a full bar and it is a very large billiards hall. Price for playing an hour of pool is great for the city. Nice friendly environment. I took my 11 year old son and his friend and they had a lot of fun. No pool hustlers here, lol!
Huge drink selection not to mention pool tables, darts and a great comfortable environment. Bathrooms are clean, staff is present and attentive. Good place to wait for your Ippudo reservation to hit! Check it out.
Considering it was a Saturday night and it was packed. The service was on point!!! We were able to get a table within 20 minutes. Be mindful people play for hours! The drinks are nice and strong. Wanna have a little fun get a round of shots (Illegal Mezcal)!
They have a large number of tables and serve all kinds of drinks. The quality of tables is quite good and we had a lot of fun.Weekends can be very busy and we had to wait for an hour to even get drinks.
Good prices on pool tables. I only stayed a little over an hour. My lady friend and I had a blast. The server was friendly and courteous. The drinks were ok a bit pricey but not too bad. I would come here again with more friends. This place seems more fit for large groups than couples.
Staff is ok. Bartenders at the bar are so so. However the ladies that serve drinks to the tables are quite polite and friendly. Some of the staff issuing the pool tables are not as friendly. This place was a 3/weekly visit . On twice of visits there were competitions going on which is understandable however the inconsistency of the staff for estimated time were off. Found a better place in BK with better drinks and tables. Need some service recover Amsterdam.. you lose customers this way.
I am not a pool player, so I cant speak to the quality of the tables. I can say that the beer was cold, the staff was friendly, and the service was excellent. Apparently, it takes a long long long time to get food, so if you want it, order immediately. Its convenient to Union Square, but if you are reading this, you probably already know that.
Best Billiards Club in NYC - Top players from all over the world play here.
IL❤️ve NYC. Its my home sweet home, and Amsterdam Billiards is my bel❤️ved game room😘🌹 Theres so many billiards & Bar in my home, but Amsterdam Billiards is the best for me, its close to everything 👍
The servers are b-u-s-y, so be sure to take advantage of their attention when they are able to speak with you. The drinks are overpriced and the food selection is *very* overpriced, but it is a pool hall after all, so how else will they stay in business. Overall if you have a healthy enough paycheck to afford to play, there’s really no competition so Amsterdam wins by default.
This is probably the best place to play pool in Manhattan whether you want to sharpen your skills, spend time with your significant other or to have a fun night with your buddies.... Its big and very dynamic. Full bar and great service are definitely a very nice addition to the pool experience. Sometimes its hard to get a table in the evening, probably because the place is super popular, but still Id definitely recommend to anybody.
Great tables and great service.
Kim was beautiful, wish i could take here home to Boston ! Nice people friendly outgoing !!!
The atmosphere is fun but was surprised to find that even though the entire bar was empty at a non peak time they were charging $12 per person per hour to play... So instead of staying for 2 hours to play and buying many drinks, we left after only one drink and no games... Business model seems a little off?
Probably the nicest pool hall I’ve been to in my life. Lots of wood, nice bar, waitress was VERY nice and considerate, took good care. Tables in above average condition, balls polished! Music got a little yuppy. Little pricey for the table. Really polite staff. Love the Amsterdam!
Great tables and excellent drink service
Went this past weekend, very clean and super friendly staff! Will be going again for sure.
The wait may take away a bit of the charm and character of the former (many many years ago) Upper West Side haunt, but frankly, once you and your friends get your table youll forget all about the wait and be ready to rack em up and see there is a Willie Mosconi, Minnesota Fats, or even a Black Widow (Jeanette Lee - and she is amazing to watch!)Pool, years ago, was played in smokey, dimly lit halls, usually off the beaten path, and frequently with somewhat sketchy characters in and around the place. But this place, founded by brothers Greg and Ethan Hunt (no, not the Mission: Impossible character!) and comedian David Brenner back in 89 really set the bar for a place that was accessible to anyone with the desire to learn or play and the time to do it. They host numerous leagues of all skill levels, have many patient and skilled teachers available for lessons, and run a very tight ship in terms of getting people on a table. It can be a bit pricey, but if you like shooting a little stick, this is a great place to go.
Huge pool hall with solid tables and good quality sticks. The staff is reliable with drink orders and the fees are pretty reasonable (we played about 9 games for around $60. I booked a table during league night by showing up a couple hours early and putting my name in and left. This worked and I was able to get right on when I came back. Seems tedious but if you have to wait all night to play youll go crazy, better to see what demand is like in advance.
The service here was really good, the tables were maintained well, and they let us order food from outside places they had established relationships with. The prices werent too expensive and the environment was really nice. This is our new pool spot.
Good atmosphere. Staff are friendly. Ping pong and pool at reasonable hourly rates, especially for NYC.
They take advantage if you’re drunk. I had an “open tab”, but they closed it on their account. They forged our signature and gave themselves their own tip. We never received our receipt. After we tried to sign for our account they told us we had already “signed” even though we hadn’t.
If you are ever in Manhattan. You need to stop into this place. The staff, the atmosphere, and the drinks and food are all great. I come here everytime I am in New York City. My favorite place in NY.
A good place to go for some billiards with some friends. Seems like they have events too. I was a bit surprised by the older crowd but I suspect it had to do with what was going on. Seemed like a lot of regulars there. Equipment is in decent shape too. Very big place. Biggest con is price. Pool was very expensive as were the drinks—even by manhattan standards.
This place is totally awesome, the drinks are amazing. Its a pretty chill crowd, great atmosphere and well kept up. And the prices here are very reasonable to shoot some pool.
Im a big fan of Amsterdam Billiards Club! Its the definition of a dive bar... very relaxed and chill atmosphere. It doesnt look like theyve changed the decor in 50 years, but it works.They always have a variety of good beers on tap and the bartenders are pleasant. If you are in the area and youre looking to unwind, socialize, and drink good beer, check out Amsterdam Billiards Club.
Expensive, bottled beer for $9 wtff
Love this spot. Friendly staff. Beautiful bar. Dozens of tables, a they offer beer pong and darts. I wish the prices for pool were cheaper but thats just Manhattan for you. Still worth a visit!
Theres nowhere better than this historical and legendary pool hall in NYC. If youre a pool enthusiast you know this place. 😉
We decided to visit last night my husband and I, and we were looking forward to a game of pool and a couple of drinks after our busy doing tourist stuff day. We were shocked that they tried to charge us $60 dollars for the hour, seriously is that for real absolutely ridiculous, when you can pay €2 per game at home. Needless to say we didn’t play, it was bad enough that we paid $30 for 2 drinks. I know we are in NYC but this is day light robbery.
Great vibes, less noisy than the average bar, makes for much easier conversation. Staff serving the pool tables is quite inconsistent. Ended up getting drinks ourselves.
Amsterdam Billiards is a great place to grab a drink or some food and shoot a game of pool. Tons of space, clean, nice tables, as well as good food and drinks at decent prices. Friendly staff too. If youre looking for a place to have a game or three and hang out with friends this is a great choice.
Good pool place for beginners and pros. Usually you see only Older people here playing pool and chilling. Prices are reasonable, staffs are friendly and helpful. Atmosphere feels laid back and chill. Overall great place for pool and tournaments are held here for the pros.
This is one of the best pool halls in NYC. I got no pictures but this place is clean and arranged nicely. Its in the middle of a night life area also. Their bar is great too. Free to play darts. They have a foosball table and TVs showing sports.
Very nice place !!! Friendly staff and good drinks !!! Nice pool tables and enough pool tables !!!
My home away from home! One of the few classy pool halls left in NYC that doesn’t feel like a nightclub where you can’t even hear yourself speak. At ABC, you can shoot a mean game of pool, play darts and beer pong by the bar, enjoy your favorite libations or try a creative cocktail from the talented and beautiful mixologists, or just throw a great company party. Yes, there is often a wait for a table because the vibe here is just that chill. The food here is catered so be ready to order ASAP upon arrival if you’re walking in hungry. Want to meet people and improve your pool game? Join their Leagues :)
Still standing- I knew this place as Corner billiards -appropriate with its geographic location. Management is much better now though place looks nicer and prices are still decent. Added plus -its open in the afternoon so you can play casual games in a virtually empty pool hall, and hear some good tunes
Me and 3 of my friends went today for billiards , my friend mentioned that there is going to be only 3 of them playing, so it was understood that the 4th person is not going to play, but at the end even after mentioning he charged us for 4 of us.That was very disappointing, I would definitely recommend others that if you are not playing make sure the person who is at the counter should write it down somewhere, because he tends to forget.We just felt that we were cheated!
Not cheap but great tables and service
Fun place for billiards, but not the most friendly environment. Front table staff can be intimidating for non-regulars. Tables are maintained well and couches/chairs are super comfortable. Wait staff does a good job.
Went here on a double date last night. Place is huge, they have a lot of pool tables available. Place is for 21+ year old so you dont have to worry about annoying teenagers (Must have ID to enter). When we arrived around 8, the place was packed. However, we only had to wait 10-15 minutes (They have a lot of seats where you can sit and a bar). My boyfriend ordered a shot of whiskey, my friend boyfriend had a glass of water and my friend and I had a shot of patron it came up to $44! Then when we were done with our games (hour and an half) it came up to $78. Good place, but a bit pricey.
Excellent customers service. Clean. Social distancing was highly enforced. Accessible from the 14th street train station.
I love this place for a nice moment with the friends to do something a tad different. I love their pool and ping pong space! There are various levels of players in the establishment, so be sure not to play for money! Lol
Great place to relax have a few beers and shoot some pool. Lots of tables, no one bothers you and at least when we went wasnt loud, so we carried conversations easily. Would like to come back
Fun place with billiards, ping pong, and giant Jenga (and maybe some stuff I missed). We had a great server who remembered drinks even though we were a big group. Definitely will go back.
Just opened up after the pandemic. Overall was good. A little paranoid about the masks. But okay.
Yes, yes, and yes. Haha I love this spot - either for drinking at their classy, wavy designed bar (nice lighting), or for playing a game of pool with one or multiple people.Enough space so you are not crowded on top of the next table.Bonus: You can also play darts or other types of games around the bar area. This seemed popular for afterwork happy hour people.
Decent pool hall with friendly staff. Chill vibe. Shame about the food but thats not why we go here.
7$ bud lights and 15$ chicken tenders worst than the dollar menu. Something doesnt add up. It is a nice venue to bring a group. But dont expect to find your bride here anytime soon. Bartender tried charging me for 2 extra beers and argued with me when I told her facts. Womp womp
Certainly one of the best pool hall in NYC. With more than 20 professional billiard tables, dart games, and an overall smooth vibe, both experts and amateurs can go and play there. Although the hourly rates for the tables are higher than other pool hall or bars, its worth the difference of quality. However, the personel tends to monitor the customers too closely,
I think I like playing pool here the most. I also like East Side Billiards but I have to admit that the tables are better at Amsterdam billiards. The cloth is smoother and the overall quality of the game is better if you care about your shots.
Great chill atmosphere, good tables and friendly attentive staff.
My favorite place to come to after a long day of work. The staff is super friendly and the armory is really calm and cool. Lots of pool table and a huge selection of drinks.
This have to be the best billiards Ive been to. The one in my home town was a crappier place. After I found out the Black Widow used to worked and played there. I always stopped by and play for a hour or two. Great drinks selection, and also I would love to come at night see how lively this place is. may be next time. Im still a rookie pool player. Quality tables and cues, my only complaint is the cue ball itself having the red dots kinda mess up my game a bit but gives me good practice. I go here every year or anytime Im in town.
Other reviews have described this as a hip place with a young crowd and have said its busy with a wait for a table. Ive only ever been on a weekday in the afternoon and its nothing like that. By day its quiet with an older crowd either practising alone or shooting straight pool for hours.Amsterdam is a good hall with around 30 tables, all of a decent standard - not fabulous but by no means shabby. House cues are generally pretty good too. There are also a few billiard tables converted for ping pong and a foosball table if thats your thing.Prices in the daytime are reasonable at $7 an hour (perhaps more for more people - that seems common elsewhere but not tested here).There is a full bar and a server will take orders at your table after a certain time.All in all this is a good pool hall and great for getting in some practice. There are a few different leagues run here also which take place on different nights of the week.
The tables are well kept, staff attentive but not pushy, beer is cold and the crowd is polite and often should. The music is a little dated/repetitive and tables a bit pricey.
Amazing tables, the service could be better. Overall a great place to have an event or just hang with friends. Also, bring a lot of money.
Good place with an authentic atmosphere and some modern style beer pong table, fuzzball, and darts to help wait in line for the next available pool table. The line might be longer in the late evening, otherwise very nice and cool stuff, definitely recommend visiting for a game of pool!
Wonderful staff and reasonable pricing. The tables were well maintained and balanced, absolutely a must for any billiards fan in the area looking for some fun!
Had a great time at this place!
Its a cheap place to go if you like playing pool. The place is practically opened 24/7. I never had the food, so I/m not too sure. But I recommend playing a few games of pool. Its the same building where karaoke is.
Always a pleasure when coming here, I use to come before they upgraded and then upgrades are awesome and welcomed, this is gonna be my go to for pool when Im the city again
Classic pool hall in NYC.
One of the nicest pool halls Ive been to. Wide selections of drinks, clean, tons of tables. The wooded, cherry walls gives it a great nostalgic feeling.
Great place to be courteous staff , Fa management is so welcoming and Izzo is so helpful, love this place.
Great place to shoot billiards. There is a wait for a table but while waiting you can take advantage of the foosball table. The table is slightly tilted so you might have a disadvantage or an advantage depending on which side you play. This spot is so chill. Youre guaranteed to have a good time. Young crowd.
Cool mellow place in a nice spot in the city. Wouldnt recommend to take your date here if shes not into billiards. Overall, good service, go environment!
Completely surprised by how roomy this place is. You can actually play without constantly knocking elbows with the people at the tables around you. Plus the food was fantastic! Whats up with that? That doesnt happen at a pool hall. Well done, Amsterdam Billiards.
Rated it before I go but I know Ill have a great time
Proper pool hall, best one Ive been to in Manhattan. Huge space filled with decently separated 9 foot tables, each with seemingly well kept cloth. They also have ping pong tables, and one snooker table. Food is served here - though, only the fries are vegetarian - and there a fully stocked bar.
Fun place to be with friends. Staff is amazing. They treated me like family. Definitely will be going back!
Cool vibe on Sundays. Music is mixed and staff are pretty chill.
Nice billiards spot in a great location. Came here a few weeks ago to watch The Walking Dead with a few friends. Every Sunday they turn off the music and play the new episodes as well as Talking Dead.
I Had a great time I would definitely go back.
Great atmosphere. Lots of pool tables and the bar looked fully stocked. Great place to relax and play pool.
The place has many tables and is well maintained. Came on a Sunday night with 4 people and the bill was $60 for unlimited time. Not bad
Pool players pool hall. Excellent vibes, good staff, good bar
If your over sixty, dont go. This was my husbands dream to play at Amsterdam Billiards, and he is a good player. We finally had the time on our last trip to NYC. According to my husband the tables were ok, but a little close together. We waited over an hour for the table and it was a week night. Couldnt get the attention of the waitress, had to go to the bar order and pick up our drinks. We are in NYC once a year mostly on business. The staff and management were the rudest people I have encountered in NYC in years.
Nice place to play some pool. Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and chill crowd.Drinks and food available if you want.
Best place to play pool in NYC
Went to Amsterdam Billiards this past Monday and the place was awesome as well as the prices for food & drinks. Micheal and staff were very nice and the atmosphere was good. Definitely going back this week.
Great tables...Great Bar...Good people there
Good if you just really care to play billiards. The place seems old and a bit gloomy and drab. The walls are made of wood but old wood. It reminds me of what the inside of a pirate ship would be like. Im ehhh about it.
Horrible place!! They charge for person???!! How does that make sense?? You occupy a table alone and pay 16 $ but if is 4 of you 64??!! Same table same time??!!
There were so many pool tables there, the staff was friendly, the drinks were fairly priced being in New York. And the most important thing I loved most, it was smoke free!
Billiard tables in great conditions. Nice establishment. Pricey!
The place is very homey id say. The staff are friendly and mix crowd when i was there but friendly atmosphere. Will be going back for sure :)
Great atmosphere.
Equipment is in excellent condition. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and proffesional. Food, drink, and table time are all expensive.
I love this place. By far my favorite pool hall on the east coast. Tables are in great shape, and the balls appear to be cleaned on a regular basis.
Cool place to hang out with friends and have a drink.If you really love playing pool then I think this is a great spot for a date or a round of competitive fun.
A bit expensive and non interesting selection of beer here. The billiards table was nice though. They also have a number of ping pong tables if you dont want to partake in billiards.
Worse food at the corporate party. We paid so much for our company holiday but the food was cold, oily, old and tasteless. Sure a waste of money. Never again.
The best pool house in the city. They have a quality service and decorations. You can always see a pro player. They also a league for amateurs.
One of the oldest and best pool places in the city. 20+ tables, great vibes, everything in great condition. A great spot for all fans of the game
Great location and a large facility with plenty of Billiards tables. The workers are another story... not so great. I have leaving bad reviews.
A vast array of pool tables and a nice bar to sit at and drink when the place might be overrun with people trying to get a table to set up a game. Probably the only pool hall Ill go to in Manhattan when I get the itch to play a game.
This place is awesome. So chill, great drinks, and they often have pro tournaments on the weekends.
A nice spot, the tables are in a good state and placed at a reasonable distance from each other.Its not cheap here and be prepared to wait for the table because its quite popular.
A quiet and unassuming place with excellent quality tables and service. Decent drinks at the bar too.
Went here for some drinks and pool with friends. Had a good time. Drinks were ok, and the staff were ok also.
The only time I came here it was for a 9 ball tournament, walking in I felt like I was in a real pool hall. It was what I always imagined the inside of a pool hall looked like (based on a lot of 1950-60s TV and movies...) I was used to small bars with a few tables, Amsterdam just blew me away. When I went there, two of the top straight pool players in the world were having an exhibition match. All of the tables had marks from the break lines as well as the racks but the tables still played very well. Im going to be working in the city soon so its very likely Ill be joining a league here.
Good times but wish I could just get a beer without forced to buy food
Clean place. Fast service, good atmosphere and attentive staff. Would definitely come again
Good crowd here and perfect pool tables. The atmosphere is also very classy compare to most poll halls.
The environment was awesome, but our mixed drinks were just juice with a splash of liquor...a TOUCH of liquor!
Really big, great atmosphere and even relaxed and cozy feeling. affordable too, and well served drinks.
Great pool hall
Great selection of beer. Bar games besides pool.Staff, not so nice or attentive.
Though its large and quite, there is nothing too special about it. The final total for renting a pool table will surprise you and leave a bitter taste. Which ultimately soars the experience.
Excellent service friendly bar tenders reasonable prices accessable to all transportation ..
Great atmosphere. Bartender was a but distracted with her phone so it took longer to get our drinks as it should have
Fun place for friends, family or a date. Plenty of tables plus a bar! A little expensive but worth it.
Nice classic pool hall. good for dates or one-on-ones with friends. service is straightforward and professional but a bit pricey.
Very good spot to play! The place is huge! They have about 25 tables that can be converted into ping pong tables.
Great place for pool; not too loud, not too rowdy. Alcohol selection is pretty great.
Really fun place. They have pool tables, ping pong tables, beer pong, darts, and a bar. Gets busy though
Really fun but call first, they have tournaments and you cant get a table if they do.
So many tables and great cocktail selection. Little pricey but you get what you pay for
Great place for pool ping pong, small n late groups. Though better to have more tables per people as pricing is per hour per person not per table.
Pretty standard local billiard place. Drinks are available but nothing too special. They charge by the hour.
Bartender very rude. Doormen were really awesome though. Place is nice, good drinks

2022-02-07I have been coming here for so long now, and i can never get enough of this place. The Vibe from the staff is extremely friendly, fast, and professional. Drinks are good but food isnt the best bar food you can find out there, tho you are here mainly for the fun of playing billiards and having drinks with your friends. Me and my brother come here so often like literally almost every weekend, and we even come here with friends, and we always have fun. Seriously this place is like the local playground for me and my brother, we come here play some games and always have fun!

2022-06-26Guys I have to to tell you.This place use to be the blast with previous owners and management. Now it’s a total disaster regarding ethnic people of color discrimination from the present owner I’ve just experienced. 15 year plus support with previous management after returning from a two and a half year Break due to the pandemic.Finally I’ll never be back until this present owner as of 06/25/2022 is no longer running the show at what used to be Amsterdam Billiards. For now. I’ll use my finances elsewhere.To the rest of my people from my ethnic group color. See how will they treat you and make your own choice when it comes to spending you hard earned money to receive zero respect and Racial Profiling and hope this info help him to stop his unacceptable behavior.

2022-06-26Pretty expensive for a place that doesn’t have to do anything - $17 per person per hour if a group of 3-4, $18 for 1-2. PER PERSON! Drinks are also overpriced. Nice concept, but there are better pool halls with better drinks at a lower cost. Chart for pool pricing isn’t explained well and is super confusing so feel like we lowkey got scammed

2022-01-13Very nice place. The tables are well kept and clean, the staff is friendly, efficient and attentive. Loved the vibe and energy of the place super chill good music and ambience. The price to play 8 Ball is around $15 dollars per person per hour which is reasonable and fair in my opinion. Only been there once but going back very soon.

2019-11-21This place is really nice on the inside, the staff is very friendly, and the prices are reasonable for games. Drinks are what youd expect for Manhattan, but not completely unreasonable. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

2022-03-04The tables and house cues are okay. The layout of tables is extremely strange, its like a maze. Usually pool halls are more neatly laid out. It does feel cozy though.Theres more of a mix of serious pool players and casuals here compared to other pool halls, which is not ideal.The beer selection is pretty bad, they had no IPAs when I was there. The customers sitting at the bar were also quite rude to me while I was ordering. Its not a very comfortable place, there are better pool halls in Manhattan.

2022-04-26Decent tables is the only redeeming quality.Prices are crazy, service is bad. I was even charged more than the menu said and told I had to pay the higher price because the menu was wrong. Terrible way to do business.
