    The beer list
    Brenda C.

    Love this place! The service is great, the bartender is always super friendly and the beer selection is fantastic! If you are looking for a soccer game, this is the place! Nice place to hang out and watch a game with friends. No food, but you can order from places nearby and bring it in, no problem. Come check it out!

    Oh, Amsterdam. You have my heart! I've been coming here for well over 10 plus year and . have seen bartenders come and go, new beers appear and disappear and changes made to the Biergarten. Despite those things, the service has always remained top notch and I'm guaranteed to get a good seat watching a premier league game! This place has been recognized as THE premier league bar in the city (at least that's what I think). They have a plethora of beers on tap (both inside and outside) and plenty of other beers (including na) vodka, whiskey, and etc. While they don't serve food the new place next door, SmashEm's Burger Bar does, in addition to other places on the strip. Before you ask, yes, they allow you bring food inside, and dogs are welcome as well! This seems like one of the few sports bars in the city geared specifically for all things soccer, but it's amazing to see everyone come together and root for their respective team with no hostility. There's hardly ever a wait and if there is, it's small. Def. a place you should check out if you haven't already done so.

    If you're looking for a bar to watch some football (European), this is the spot! It really gave me flash backs of when I lived in France. Club scarves hanging from the ceiling and football (actual football) on the télé. They also had a fairly decent menu and their fish sandwich was delightful!

    Flew in from CT this Monday and instead of going straight to the hotel I wanted to watch game 3 of the Euro 2020: The Netherlands vs New Macedonia. I found this spot on Yelp, and decided to give it a try and to order lunch from the Dam BN'er door (also a 4star review). I walked in and asked for coffee. "No, coffee, you can go across the street for coffee." 'No, coffee in a place named after a city in Holland, where people drink more coffee than water?' was my initial thought. "But are you showing the game?" was my verbal response. "Yes, it is on now." Awkward silence... The all of a sudden, a tennis coach-as I was told later, started to talk to me in Dutch. Somehow he picked up my accent, which I thought was lost after 2 decades in the US. The ice was broken... Robert the owner made me an alcohol free mix of juices. And from there on it felt as I was in a familiar place with familiar people. I enjoyed the conversations and the food I ordered from next door, which was delivered by the way. Amsterdam Tavern a great place to watch soccer in St. Louis with an almost Amsterdam feel. Definitely a place to return to. Hope next time they have 'koffie en een koekje,' as Amsterdammers do!

    Enjoying a Chiefs game in the huge patio area outside.

    This is my favorite sports bar in St.Louis!! You can find just about any soccer match you're interested in showing on at least one screen. Customers are passionate and knowledgeable soccer fans. The staff are GREAT and attentive.

    When you think of a great neighborhood bar plus, then this is the place. This is the kind of place you can go to wearing shorts and a tshirt or a soccer jersey. Soccer you say? This place is where soccer fans go to watch both European and American soccer. So I said neighborhood bar plus, the plus being that you can get a great meal from the Dam next door delivered right to your table and an ice cold beer from the bartender, pretty sweet. Now since I'm an American football fan I never know whether to say football or soccer so I'll just stick with soccer and if you're a fan then this is the place for you. Soccer jerseys and scarfs adorning the walls and ceiling. Enough big screens around that you'll have a great view wherever you are. Super friendly patrons and staff this would be my neighborhood haunt if I lived closed by. You need to give this little neighborhood bar a try.

I had the "Yes We Have One" - it's an espresso martini. It wasn't as sweet as I prefer, but it was good and I had more than one so it couldn't have been too bad! The other three enjoyed their drinks as well. I'd definitely go back and have a few cocktails in a cozy little area!

I was honestly surprised at how busy it was when we arrived at 4pm on a Thursday. I wasn't expecting that kind of crowd, but thankfully I had made a reservation, so we were able to get seated right away. As much as I would've loved to sit on the patio, it didn't look like anything was available, although if you can snag a patio table, I'd definitely recommend it. Inside was packed, with quite a few larger groups as well. Our table was right in the middle of the restaurant, so we had a good view of everything going on. It was loud, but in a fun, lively way. Our server was really friendly and quick. She checked in on us often and gave some helpful recommendations. We ordered drinks and a couple of apps to share, and she left us a full bottle of cold water, which was such a nice touch. We got the pretzel monkey bread, french fries (the best) and the artichoke bean dip. We weren't planning to stay for dinner, just wanted some snacks. The food came out fast and honestly looked too good to wait on. I loved the monkey bread, the pretzel bites had a great crisp to them, and the sauces they served with it were really good. The bean dip was good too, just not as much my thing since I'm not a big fan of dill, so I left most of that for everyone else. Once we wrapped up, we were able to split the check and head out pretty quickly. I really appreciate places that still make it easy to split checks, and even more when you can just pay right at the table with those handheld POS devices.

The only real warmth we encountered came from the female host; the rest of the staff delivered service that hovered somewhere between disinterested and "we're doing you a favor by being here." We kicked things off with the fried deviled eggs, which arrived neither fried nor particularly deviled -- just cold little reminders that hope is fleeting. Cocktails landed squarely in "General Public" territory. My Squatty Potty showed up lukewarm, like it had been loitering at the bar contemplating its life choices instead of making it to the table piping hot. A chicken Caesar salad was perfectly fine... if you enjoy playing hide-and-seek with the chicken. The breakfast burger came on an English muffin with what might be the most emotionally unavailable portion of hash brown casserole I've ever seen -- tiny, distant, and gone too soon. Then there's the Scream Burger. Marketed as ghost-pepper spicy, priced like it's the main event, and delivered with all the heat of a polite Midwestern handshake. Dry, bland, and somehow bold enough to charge me an extra dollar for more mayo -- because nothing says "premium burger experience" like a condiment upcharge to make it edible. My husband's Pork Pountine? Imagine fries sprinkled with a few bacon bits like confetti at a party nobody wanted to attend. We came in excited because Eat Crow in Soulard sets the bar high. Unfortunately, Crows Nest feels like it's cooking for someone driving in from Chesterfield who asked the kitchen to "tone it down." If you're craving the real deal, do yourself a favor: go to Soulard. This nest still needs a lot more feathers. And to the influencers calling this place "amazing" -- do better. Honest, authentic reviews help restaurants grow and help diners know what they're walking into. Stop selling hype and start telling the truth.

There was a 20-30 minute wait so we found seats at the bar and ordered cocktails. Very good. Very strong. The Block is a great space. Tall ceilings, warm & inviting, perhaps a little low lighting for us challenged folks, but nice, easy to read menus made up for it. A busser brought us water and shortly behind him was Laura-Beth, (our server) with a big smile and menus. After explaining the menu, specials, and taking our drink orders she left us to think about our choices. The menu is a little limited but includes sandwiches as well as entrees including fish option.. Being a "butcher" restaurant we both opted for the ribeye, medium rare. The steak comes only with fries which I ordered while my date went for whipped potatoes. I also went for a side of spinach. We also split a Block Salad as a starter. Choosing to split the Block Salad was a good idea. It was more than enough for two. It was great version of a chopped salad with fresh greens, bacon, smoked ham, egg, house-smoked cheddar, tomatoes, red onion, dressed with just enough buttermilk dressing. Really enjoyed it and just the right amount of salad. Only criticism is not salt and pepper on the table. Probably by design but disappointing. Next came our steaks and sides. We both ordered medium-rare. Her steak was a little under but close enough. My steak was raw in the center. I should have said something but there wasn't so much it was inedible for me. Better under than over! The seasoned fries were good and the whipped potatoes very good were delicious. The fresh spinach was cooked perfect, but under seasoned. All in all, good sides. We finished with Irish Coffee and vanilla ice cream. Kudos to the staff A special thank you to our server Laura-Beth. You were spot on friendly, courteous, attentive, and made our evening great and not just good. Overall, a good place, A bit expensive but where isn't these days. Well worth a try if you haven't.
