online now icon A bar based around the notion that no TV, great music, good people in a fun environment makes for a happy little place for those of us who like that sort of thing.We are located at 831 Exposition in Dallas, near Deep Ellum, across the street from Fair Park.Check out www.theamsterdambar.com for maps & such.

My Interests

Non-whiney music. Great Beer & Booze. People who talk with a purpose, and not to hear how they sound now, and now, and now. Gals & guys who like to have fun. And drink. and talk. in a bar.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone, especially folks who do stuff, like drink. You know those people who don't do stuff? Well, that isn't who we want to meet so badly. Active participants in thier own lives who also perticipate the lives of others are far more fun.

Music:

A fantastic jukebox, Bad Ass Jazz Monday nights, & D.J.s or shows from time to time. If you are in a band, know a band, or need to contact us for booking... [email protected]

Movies:

Mondays, there's Bad Ass Jazz. Real Jazz. Tuesdays is 1/2 price draft day. All imports & micros on draft, all day long. Sundays are Quarts of Guinness for $6. They come in mason jars, like Irish moonshine.

Television:

We don't have one. Bars are a great place to get glassy-eyed talking to people. Getting glassy-eyed watching the 4th repeat of sports center at a bar is sad. Come to a bar & talk to people.

Heroes:

Skeet shooting Gahndi from two dimentions over. Talking elvis night light, he's creepy and dreamy. Greek gods, they have really mellowed out after that whole loss of followers thing. Bubble blowing Budda squeaky toys, he smiles while keeping your dog happy, and the kittens love the bubbles. Milton, there's nothing like an unrhymed epic. Whoever invented orbitz bubble mint gum, it's just super. Dr. Pepper, named his soda after a love who rejected him and didn't write a song about it.
