Fireworks at Fair Park tonight!

As always we will be open regular hours for the Fourth of July! Today is a perfect day to relax in our beer garden and enjoy a few cold beers before heading over to Fair Park to enjoy the fireworks!

The video above is from last year's celebration. Getting this year's celebration off to a good start at the Amsterdam Bar!

Great write-up on the Amsterdam Bar

The Amsterdam Bar has received a great write-up over at the Dallas Observer:

In a town that pays actual respect to the glitteriest, shiniest new thing on the block, it's easy to take the classics for granted. I generally regard my distaste for nostalgia as a positive thing, but the test of time is not easy to pass and must therefore be honored. Like a worn-in t-shirt or a faded old denim jacket, there are some nights in this town that will wait for you, welcome you back with open arms and cold drinks as if you had never left to begin with.

Dallas always looks its most beautiful on these early Spring patio days. That nip in the breeze at night makes staying out past sunset all the more enjoyable before the melting summer begins. We could cover Dallas' variant patios in a million different categories but when I imagine an evening under the fuzzy North Texas stars, I immediately reach for The Amsterdam Bar.

Rush coming to Superpages.com Center in concert April 25th!

Progressive rock super group Rush is coming to the Superpages.com Center (formerly Smirnoff Music Centre) on April 25th. With some luck, you may still be able to get tickets. Rush's live shows are legendary.

The Superpages.com Center is located at 1818 1st Avenue Dallas, Texas 75210, just on the other side of Fair Park from The Amsterdam Bar. This means that we are a great place for you to have a couple of beers before the concert or, even better, to wind down after the concert on our huge outdoor patio. The Amsterdam Bar is a great place to finish a night of music at the Superpages.com Center and Fair Park.
