Bad Ass Jazz at the Amsterdam Bar

Amsterdam Bar Bad Ass Jazz Mondays - Tonight featuring Jason Davis - saxophone with David Zoller - piano, Jonathan Fisher - upright bass and Andrew Griffith - drumset. Hope to see y'all there for some serious spang-a-lang. And beer, of course.

Tonight! A benefit for Dyrk Burcie

From James Bristo, our favorite neighborhood policeman:

Dyrk Burcie is the four year old son of a Dallas Fire Fighter and is suffering with stage 4 liver cancer. Come help us raise a little money to help offset the growing medical bills that the family is going through. It’s tough enough to watch your child hurt so let’s help where we can. Join us for an evening of music with some of the area’s best artist. I will be hosting and would love to see you there.

Come out tonight, September 23rd at 7:30 pm, enjoy the show, and contribute to a great cause.

Tonight's Jazz Night is a benefit for Esther Phelps

Tonight's Jazz Night at the Amsterdam Bar is a benefit for Esther Phelps. Esther is the wife of North Texas bassist Drew Phelps, and right now she is battling breast cancer without insurance. Shelley Carrol and Brad Leali are dedicating tonight's performance to Esther and Drew.

The guys who play the jazz and the folks who run the Amsterdam Bar, along with all our fantastic regulars, would like to help this family that has been so good to so many people.

There's no cover and no fixed donation tonight, but every little bit that you can spare will help Esther and Drew at this critical point in their lives. Hopefully our little community can pull together and make a difference for them. So come out tonight and enjoy the jazz and the beer, and share the love.

Art Opening: "PASSENGER (reloaded)"

Tomorrow, April 27, 2012, a friend of the bar is having a major gallery opening, and we thought we'd pass that information along to all of you. Tomorrow, David Quadrini invites you to attend the official opening for "PASSENGER" at the Angstrom Gallery, located at 3609 Parry Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75226--just a hop skip and a jump from the Amsterdam Bar. "PASSENGER" will be open daily through May 3, 2012.

Come out for the gallery opening and when you've sated your appetite for post-modernist dialectic, you can swing by the Amsterdam Bar and discuss the semiotic dissonance over a cold draught!

Jazz Night with the Three Lions food truck

We're looking forward to having the Three Lions Truck out front tomorrow night for Jazz night.

When Cameron Bonfield, came to Texas he did not anticipate starting and running a food truck concept in the emerging food truck scene of Dallas, but fate dealt him a hand he had to play. Joined by his brother Scott in in the fall of 2011, the two worked hard to bring flavorful tacos with a bit of South African spice to the DFW Metroplex. They were able to create a cult following, but something always bugged them. The food they were serving was great, but it didn’t say anything about who they were. Tacos? Englishmen? What is the connection? They began to serve some more traditional English fare along with the tacos and saw demand for the food quickly grow. So, early in 2012 they made the decision to start over and Three Lions food truck was born. A concept that was wholly about their heritage and a higher calling to represent English cuisine in a positive way to the DFW Metroplex. They now run and operate the Three Lions food truck bringing fast, delicious English fare to America.

So here's the value proposition: some of the best authentic English style pub grub paired with a beer from our award winning selection and topped off with the very best jazz in Dallas, Texas. How can you resist? Trick question; you shouldn't resist. Get here early so you can order dinner and get a table for jazz night.
