Let me be clear that the ONLY reason I'm giving this place two stars is for their delicious nachos - and that's being generous. Poor service, loud atmosphere, LOTS of attitude from the tall blonde server (I know - which one, right?) who snarked at our party when SHE repeated the order wrong twice. Rather than being a good server and killing us with kindness, she continued to be bitchy and not make eye contact or even offer a smile or apology for her crap service. The nachos may be good, but the service is absolute crap. I won't be going back and will be telling others to not patronize this place. Oh, and no Interac/debit - but a conveniently-placed ATM machine that I'm sure they make a ton of revenue off of. read more

Great service and food. We tried the Poutine, Chicken Masala, and You're Cheesy Burger which all were delicious. read more

Amsterdam Cafe - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

My beer was warm and my food was cold. The bill was absurd given the quality of food and drink. But it's saving grace (and reason for any stars at all) is the location (great) and the service was actually excellent. I wouldn't go back again but oh well, there are plenty of other options around. read more

Amsterdam Cafe, Whistler. Good eats, attentive warm service, decent value ( for Whistler ) $$. We had an Amsterdam Burger with fries and nom,nom,nom,...it was good! Wanna burger in Whistler? Then visit the Amsterdam Cafe the next time your in Whistler. I know I will. Great location for ppl watchin' too. Happy Noshin' Brianm Foodie@Large read more

Pretty good burgers very fresh to the taste the fries were good but I like crispy so that's just on me tho . Great place tho

This was my first time here, and it was just for a quick drink. My friend and I stopped in for a brunch time Caesar. Service was fast and friendly. The patio was nice a shady with a a great view for people watching. As for the drink, it was one of the best Caesar I've had. The fresh cracked pepper on top was a nice touch and the bartender had a good handle on what 'extra spicy' means. read more

Stopped in Amsterdam Cafe twice on a recent trip to Whistler and I love it! It's a laid back, casual atmosphere that I really enjoyed. The music selection seems dependent on the waitress/bartender at the time but was good both nights and all the staff were super friendly. Their food is really good however their prices are pretty standard inflated bar prices with the exception of their drink specials. The food was also really good and way more then we could eat! read more

Great spot for some apps and brewskis. We came in for some nachos and fried pickles. Both very good but the nachos were definitely a bit pricey at $20. The service was excellent. Fast, courteous and friendly. Our waitress didn't even bat an eye when I asked to switch my beer after not liking my first choice. She was awesome. I'd recommend getting some Canadians from the tap and an order of the fried pickles read more

Great location in the heart of Whistler Village and that is where the positives end. The service is friendly when they show up and very very slow The food is not worth missing all of the other great locations in town. read more

While in Whistler, I really enjoyed coming here for beers and bite to eat after a good day of snowboarding. The atmosphere is a good dive-ski bar. The wait staff always treated us well and I never had to wait too long for my beers. As for the food, it's ok, just bar food. I recommend coming here if you are looking for something to do, between a day on the slopes and dinner! Although, it's best if you come early... read more

Good crowds at night, not the typical Whistler 19-25, a little older, say 25-35 and good ambiance. The waitresses bring in their iPods and shuffle music all night long, so you get a nice variety to chill out to. They have nightly drinks specials, so I visited this place several times, every night just going with whatever they had on special - all good choices. Decent menu with very good prices. If you want high-end foodie quality, this is not the place for you. Simple stuff, all made by minimum wage cooks in the back no doubt. Place is pretty tiny - they could double their floor space and it would be full still. I only sat inside, at the bar most nights. The hot waitress girls definitely have an elitist "I'm hot and you want me" attitude, which for the most part is true - all the guys who come here make a play for them and fail. read more

Nice middle of the road place to hangout in the village. Has good grunge music at a respectable volume, the beer is good and outside is cozy under the heat lamps. The service is good and although I didn't have food, it looks like a good place for a snack. read more

Popped in here for a quick bite to eat. Ordered a couple of drinks - needless to say I've had better, way way better. Food was sub par, fries were soggy. I find it incredulous actually when a place cannot make fries correctly...it can't be that difficult. Service was two thumbs down. Needless to say, first and last time. Just do yourself a favor and take a walk to Basalt or Bar Oso. read more

this is my usual stop for a drink or four and people watch. There service has always been a flaky but you are there to people watch. The food is just Blah and little over priced for the quality. The shared washrooms are sorely out of date as they serve three other places, La Bocca, Honey Buns, read more

Snowboarding boots barely unlaced and I find my self seeking out the heat lamps at Amsterdam cafe for a "Brown Bear" with Butter Ripple or a Guinness. Located at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain gondola, Whistler Village just would not be the same without the Amsterdam cafe. Can't say I have ever ordered food here, but the yam fries looked tasty. read more

This is the kind of place you go when you have just reached the legal drinking age and are a horny boy because the servers wear practically nothing. The music was SO INCREDIBLY LOUD that it was impossible to have an adult conversation. The menu had few choices, and the kitchen is shared between two other restaurants with the exact same menu. Our friends ordered flatbread pizzas which they said were ok. I ordered nachos and shared them with Cam, and I wasn't impressed. The salsa was terrible, so we mostly just ate up the sour cream. The guac had a huge chunk of un-smashed avocado in it, which made it a little difficult to scoop or eat. When we started to leave, a larger group of people came in and were sat in the booth right next to us. However, the booths only seat four and they had 5 people, which meant that the guy sitting next to me blocked the aisle so no one could get out. It was really uncomfortable having to stick my butt in his face when I left. I'm just glad we went on a "quiet" weekday night because when we walked by on Friday and Saturday it looked to be even louder, even more crowded, and the servers dance on top of the tables. Not my kind of place. read more

We came here for a snack at around 5 ish on a friday. This pub was quite busy inside and out. We sat out on the heated patio as inside was packed and tight in space. We tried the french onion soup for 9$ (a bit pricey for pub food) and ribs with fries for 14$ (not bad of a deal). Inside is dimly lit with lots of decorations. Service was so so only as it took a long time for the waitress to come back to take our orders. read more

See all

Conflicted about this place, here's why....... Nachos were excellent as they were epic as they were as big as Blackcomb mountain itself, very tasty, not burnt, and no broken pieces (I hate that) Service was good enough, not stellar and not terrible as our waitress was there but was tentative in a kind of stand offish way which made me feel like I committed come kind of customer faux pas of sorts. Location is awesome as the patio is right on the main drag in the village so it's great for people watching but the indoor seating area is loud and not much to see other than the serving staff in their skimpy attire. The payment system is brutal as they have no interac (seeing that's how everyone pays) but they have their ATM conveniently there to take money out of at $2.50 for their service charge. read more

Cheap eats for Whistler Village. Nothing I would come back to. The burgers we ate had a funky smell and texture. Maybe it was kept in the freezer for too long? My friend's spinach salad looked appetizing. Our other companion said the Aussie burger with the pineapple was filling and delicious. Avoid the growers apple cider and Strongbow cider if you don't like bland ciders. Our waitress was super nice and friendly like most seasonal employees in Whistler. She was cute also:) This place was nice and cozy on the inside. You should stop in for a beer if it's close to your hotel. Bring 2 pieces of ID to enter. read more

Good portioning. I was so full I had to walk for a good 30 minutes to catch a breath. Glad I came here amongst the glamorous views a sweet scents of flowers the surround the perimeter of the restaurant. read more

Perhaps it was because i was incredibly hungry, but this place had an awesome veggie burger. On the other hand, our service was lackluster to be generous. The patio is cute, but not well kept. Overall, my meal was quite good. read more

The good: great for outside table and a drink while people watching The bad: service was horrible - our meals took forever and were overpriced and meh. The waitress never returned to fill our drinks. I'd only go for drinks and not a real meal if I returned. read more

The place is ugly but the Onion soup is excellent :) . I decided to go there because I was looking for a beer and something to eat after a long snowshoe session under a heavy snow. The service is good and the onion soup was very good, the decor is very bad (ugly) and doesn't match with the regula decor at traditional pubs but the place has something (music, people, mood, etc) that makes it a nice option. As othe reviewers said, try the special of the day because is good and less expensive than regular drinks. read more

Great for people watching on the village stroll.. Decently priced food (for Whistler). Their spaghetti was basic red sauce with meat, but it tasted good for the price. Best seats are those right next to the stroll and you'll see plenty of people battling for those seats. There is an inside, as well - but this is not the place to go to sit indoors (cramped and loud). Service was OK (not terrible and not fabulous either). If you're lucking enough to get a seat near the stroll, I'd give it a shot, otherwise I'd probably keep walking. read more

Loud, noisy, nothing special about this place. the food is meh, It's not horrible, but I wouldn't call it good either. I feel that this would be a great place to go in the evening after skiing, unfortunately I was there for a late afternoon snack and I probably should have gone somewhere else. Service was crap. The waitress looked at us like we didn't belong and was slow serving our table and delivering drinks. Not friendly. Healthy? so-so. I ordered soup, which was about the healthyist thing on the menu. All the burgers come with fries, but you can upgrade to yam fries. read more

Stopped by here recently with friends. Overall the food is pretty good. We had the nachos and it was one of the first set of nachos where I actually wanted more chips. They were very generous with all the "Fixings" so I needed more nacho chips to eat them all. The service is passable. Not great as I think they understaff the restaurant. read more

Loud music, sassy servers in crop tops. The bartender kept my glass full. I got a buzz and wrote. No hassle and no pretense. Perfect for the purpose. Solid 3. I have came to this place for 11 years, a couple times a year. It hasn't changed. That is nice read more

Amsterdam Cafe - Bourbon and a notebook. - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

The service was excellent. She was attentive and we had no issues. The food was pretty horrible, the beer selection was average, the place is actually a college town dive bar on the main drag in Whistler. (nothing wrong with a college dive bar, but a good burger is not the hardest thing in the world to do, is it?) I am sure that this place rocks late night and throws a pretty good party, but a late lunch/early dinner on this patio should be avoided. The place is fine for drinks, wouldn't ever eat there again. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a busy Crankworx week. They semed short staff. Service took too long and table was not properly cleaned before we sat down. We ordered drinks & food as soon as the server appeared. Took her 10 minutes to come back and tell us hubby's choice wasn't available. The food wasn't bad but pricey for what you got. They did have a nice beer choice. read more

Amsterdam Cafe - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

The server was very nice and helpful, but the food took 30 minutes for mostly appi's and we had to ask the status and request refills of soda and beers. read more

Great atmosphere and great service. Karolyn and katelyn were very personable and fun to talk to. The food was great and very reasonably priced. We were there for Australia Day and the patio is the perfect place to people watch. Also being located close to after hour clubs was a plus. I will definitely be back next year.,,,, Thank you for a great experiance read more

I generally don't bother with reviews - can't restrain myself this time. I can see why the place is generally reviewed better by men; if you are a man, you are flirtatiously coddled and served with astounding alacrity. If you are a woman, not so much (well, ok, hardly at all...your server is a ghost, and maybe even rude - you are interrupting her self-objectifying misogynistic tip earning Zen.) We contained our disappointment and consoled ourselves with the fact that the beer was good. Worst by FAR is the FOOD - Amsterdam?!? Hardly, unless you are meaning the ever-present Dutch FEBO food 'vending walls' that are packed with hours-old steam-temperature crap (in all my years, I've never been able to bring myself to drop a Guilder or a Euro into one of those, even at 4:30 AM wandering the Leidseplein, wishing for a Jack in the Box taco). I know a schnitzel - this was many things NOT good, and certainly NOT a schnitzel - not even a bad one. It must have been fried in the same oil as fish, because the distinct melding of the two flavors brought a grimace to my face. Whatever they coated was thin as a slice of bacon, and not identifiable as any sort of pork I've ever had. Closing comment on the food: even my DOG wouldn't eat the poutine fries. 'nuff said. read more

Not interested, not really friendly, relatively high prices for beer. Strange and suspicious: there are no prices in the beverage section of the menu.. When asked the waitress had to ask for them inside.. Advise: walk a few meters further in any direction to experience the true Canadian hospitality! read more

O.M.G!!! Where to start...? This has to be the worst restaurant experience I've had in my 50+ years of life. Asked the waitress if we (our party should seat our selves and she said "sure, sit anywhere you like" in a very nice Aussie accent. What she would have said is sit anywhere you want and we will ignore you equally. We foolishly sat at a table outside for 30 minutes, waived and smiled several times at the waitress, and were told "I'll be right there". Then the other waitress came over and took orders from two other tables the sat down after us. Went to politely talk to the manager bar/tender and she apologized but then wouldn't take a drink order because we were seated at a table. Finally persuaded her to let us buy a drink, which we downed and left after 45 minutes of smiling and waiving. Save your money, eat/drink somewhere that values your business. read more

the 'dam strikes again. the guys love this place - for the mini skirts and the cleavage. if you don't intend to skeeze on an attractive young waitress, you're probably better off spending your money elsewhere. lack of better judgement found me at the 'dam this week, and i was reminded why i generally stay away (unless i'm already drunk). once again, our server had more attitude than intellect, and preferred to flirt with guys than actually work. read more

You really have to sit outside here on the patio, if you don't want to be bothered by noise. It's a great place to be to sit, relax, have food, drinks, and people watch - right in the middle of Village Square. Just grab one of the booths - I think it's the best outside seating in that four corners area. read more

Let me tell ya, the "dam weenie on a bun" was the best weenie I've ever had in my mouth. Plus the service was great and very Australian (great for us yanks). Would've gotten five stars but one of our party had too wait a little bit longer for his burger (the original was apparently burnt by chef). read more

This is the place you go at the end of the fortnight when money's tight and you still want to get your drink on. $10 pitchers of their house brew is the best deal in Whistler when there isn't a Canucks game on. It's located right in Village Square and the heated patio offers great people watching. The only reason why it's a three star place is it's always infested by tourists. Par for the course in Whistler, but it seems especially so here. When you deal with 'gusts' all day, the last thing you want to do is relax with them. If you are one, on the other hand, it really doesn't matter and you'll probably like this place. read more

Cool spot, crap hospitality and fair pricing considering the location. Good location to grab a greasy bite or cold beer! If you can get a table out front it is great for just watching the crowd go by and enjoying the weather.(summer visit) Had to dock a couple stars as the staff boldly gave off the attitude of "here comes another tourist" and to our face no less and then when we mentioned where we were staying (nice hotel) she proceeded to give a speech on tipping that was uncalled for and kind of treat us different as though we couldn't be part of their sticky floor pub crowd cuz "we could afford it". All in all, now that I think of it, this place is a shanty dive bar in the middle of Whistler village and they treat you like you are in a shanty bar and if your not "the drunk at the end of the counter who has been wasted there for ten years", your an "outsider", and as such not really welcomed!! read more

I had myself a Margarita Pizza. I suppose I would have enjoyed my experience a little more if I hadn't been hungover from the night before. The pizza was decent, service was decent. Giving it 3 stars for the environment. Brick walls, chill vibes, and I got a surprise Caesar salad with my meal. All in all an A-OK time. read more
