This place is really nice on the inside, the staff is very friendly, and the prices are reasonable for games. Drinks are what youd expect for Manhattan, but not completely unreasonable. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

What a great place to spend an afternoon. We randomly stumbled upon this place and decided to go in and shoot some pool (billiards). The tables were very well maintained and the atmosphere of the place was really nice. In just observing others, there were a lot of great players. You pay per person by the hour and the rates do differ from weekday to weekend. Overall a great place to kill some time and sharpen some skills.

A happy discovery when after a late night supper, we were still too wired to home and just wanted a place to relax and hang out. Well-maintained and with great service even at 2 in the morning. For serious and casual pool players alike.

Amsterdam Billiards is a great place to grab a drink or some food and shoot a game of pool. Tons of space, clean, nice tables, as well as good food and drinks at decent prices. Friendly staff too. If youre looking for a place to have a game or three and hang out with friends this is a great choice.

The wait may take away a bit of the charm and character of the former (many many years ago) Upper West Side haunt, but frankly, once you and your friends get your table youll forget all about the wait and be ready to rack em up and see there is a Willie Mosconi, Minnesota Fats, or even a Black Widow (Jeanette Lee - and she is amazing to watch!)Pool, years ago, was played in smokey, dimly lit halls, usually off the beaten path, and frequently with somewhat sketchy characters in and around the place. But this place, founded by brothers Greg and Ethan Hunt (no, not the Mission: Impossible character!) and comedian David Brenner back in 89 really set the bar for a place that was accessible to anyone with the desire to learn or play and the time to do it. They host numerous leagues of all skill levels, have many patient and skilled teachers available for lessons, and run a very tight ship in terms of getting people on a table. It can be a bit pricey, but if you like shooting a little stick, this is a great place to go.

That a space this big exists in the village is damn near a miracle. That it has been here for this long is equally unique. No frills. Unpretentious. And a good spot on a cold and rainy day to stay inside and play some games.

Nice place, courteous service, more or less clean. And all the cue sticks that I checked were straight.

Review №12

I think I like playing pool here the most. I also like East Side Billiards but I have to admit that the tables are better at Amsterdam billiards. The cloth is smoother and the overall quality of the game is better if you care about your shots.

Best Billiards Club in NYC - Top players from all over the world play here.

Review №15

One of the great places to relax and chill with your buddies. You could even pick up some games of pool with others. They offer a wide range of games such as pool, darts, beer pong and table tennis but would have to pay extra. The bar and drinks in general are great, but most of all, the place is spacey!

If you are ever in Manhattan. You need to stop into this place. The staff, the atmosphere, and the drinks and food are all great. I come here everytime I am in New York City. My favorite place in NY.

Review №17

A good place to go for some billiards with some friends. Seems like they have events too. I was a bit surprised by the older crowd but I suspect it had to do with what was going on. Seemed like a lot of regulars there. Equipment is in decent shape too. Very big place. Biggest con is price. Pool was very expensive as were the drinks—even by manhattan standards.

I love this place for a nice moment with the friends to do something a tad different. I love their pool and ping pong space! There are various levels of players in the establishment, so be sure not to play for money! Lol

Review №20

The servers are b-u-s-y, so be sure to take advantage of their attention when they are able to speak with you. The drinks are overpriced and the food selection is *very* overpriced, but it is a pool hall after all, so how else will they stay in business. Overall if you have a healthy enough paycheck to afford to play, there’s really no competition so Amsterdam wins by default.

Review №21

Fun place with billiards, ping pong, and giant Jenga (and maybe some stuff I missed). We had a great server who remembered drinks even though we were a big group. Definitely will go back.

They have a large number of tables and serve all kinds of drinks. The quality of tables is quite good and we had a lot of fun.Weekends can be very busy and we had to wait for an hour to even get drinks.

Im a big fan of Amsterdam Billiards Club! Its the definition of a dive bar... very relaxed and chill atmosphere. It doesnt look like theyve changed the decor in 50 years, but it works.They always have a variety of good beers on tap and the bartenders are pleasant. If you are in the area and youre looking to unwind, socialize, and drink good beer, check out Amsterdam Billiards Club.

We visited on Saturday night from 7 to about 10ish. Good place, well maintained, clean, quite crowd. Everyone pretty much interested in playing pool, no fooling around. They have plenty of tables. $15 per person per hour. Min 1 hour, after hour they can count per min (based on the same $15 per hour). Drinks selection is so so, but acceptable for this place since its to play pool really.

Review №29

Me and 3 of my friends went today for billiards , my friend mentioned that there is going to be only 3 of them playing, so it was understood that the 4th person is not going to play, but at the end even after mentioning he charged us for 4 of us.That was very disappointing, I would definitely recommend others that if you are not playing make sure the person who is at the counter should write it down somewhere, because he tends to forget.We just felt that we were cheated!

Super friendly and great place to hang out and play pool. The staff is super friendly and the drinks are actually very good especially considering the prices. Theres more than enough tables that you dont have to wait and youre guaranteed to enjoy yourself. The atmosphere is very relaxed and theres no pressure and nobody gets in the way of each other while theyre playing pool. Highly recommend a good place to relax.

Review №31

I recently came here with a friend to play some pool late at night. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait before we got a table, which was fine because there were plenty of places to sit down and chill. The tables were in great shape, and everything was in good working order. We had a great time and would definitely come back.

Review №38

Very relaxed atmosphere. Excellent for grabbing a drink to catch up with a friend as its not too loud to hear each other, but sufficiently busy that you dont feel youll be overheard.Small caveat might be hard to get a table for every long if you go there in league night, but the bar is still a good spot to hang out.

The service here was really good, the tables were maintained well, and they let us order food from outside places they had established relationships with. The prices werent too expensive and the environment was really nice. This is our new pool spot.

Review №42

The atmosphere is fun but was surprised to find that even though the entire bar was empty at a non peak time they were charging $12 per person per hour to play... So instead of staying for 2 hours to play and buying many drinks, we left after only one drink and no games... Business model seems a little off?

Very cool place to hang out and shoot pool. The hostess is an Asian woman who was very sweet to us and makes you feel very welcome. The waitress service is great. They have a full bar and it is a very large billiards hall. Price for playing an hour of pool is great for the city. Nice friendly environment. I took my 11 year old son and his friend and they had a lot of fun. No pool hustlers here, lol!

Review №52

They take advantage if you’re drunk. I had an “open tab”, but they closed it on their account. They forged our signature and gave themselves their own tip. We never received our receipt. After we tried to sign for our account they told us we had already “signed” even though we hadn’t.

This is probably the best place to play pool in Manhattan whether you want to sharpen your skills, spend time with your significant other or to have a fun night with your buddies.... Its big and very dynamic. Full bar and great service are definitely a very nice addition to the pool experience. Sometimes its hard to get a table in the evening, probably because the place is super popular, but still Id definitely recommend to anybody.

Review №66

My home away from home! One of the few classy pool halls left in NYC that doesn’t feel like a nightclub where you can’t even hear yourself speak. At ABC, you can shoot a mean game of pool, play darts and beer pong by the bar, enjoy your favorite libations or try a creative cocktail from the talented and beautiful mixologists, or just throw a great company party. Yes, there is often a wait for a table because the vibe here is just that chill. The food here is catered so be ready to order ASAP upon arrival if you’re walking in hungry. Want to meet people and improve your pool game? Join their Leagues :)

Staff is ok. Bartenders at the bar are so so. However the ladies that serve drinks to the tables are quite polite and friendly. Some of the staff issuing the pool tables are not as friendly. This place was a 3/weekly visit . On twice of visits there were competitions going on which is understandable however the inconsistency of the staff for estimated time were off. Found a better place in BK with better drinks and tables. Need some service recover Amsterdam.. you lose customers this way.

Review №68

Good prices on pool tables. I only stayed a little over an hour. My lady friend and I had a blast. The server was friendly and courteous. The drinks were ok a bit pricey but not too bad. I would come here again with more friends. This place seems more fit for large groups than couples.

Review №69

We decided to visit last night my husband and I, and we were looking forward to a game of pool and a couple of drinks after our busy doing tourist stuff day. We were shocked that they tried to charge us $60 dollars for the hour, seriously is that for real absolutely ridiculous, when you can pay €2 per game at home. Needless to say we didn’t play, it was bad enough that we paid $30 for 2 drinks. I know we are in NYC but this is day light robbery.

Review №70

Huge pool hall with solid tables and good quality sticks. The staff is reliable with drink orders and the fees are pretty reasonable (we played about 9 games for around $60. I booked a table during league night by showing up a couple hours early and putting my name in and left. This worked and I was able to get right on when I came back. Seems tedious but if you have to wait all night to play youll go crazy, better to see what demand is like in advance.

Probably the nicest pool hall I’ve been to in my life. Lots of wood, nice bar, waitress was VERY nice and considerate, took good care. Tables in above average condition, balls polished! Music got a little yuppy. Little pricey for the table. Really polite staff. Love the Amsterdam!

Review №79

I am not a pool player, so I cant speak to the quality of the tables. I can say that the beer was cold, the staff was friendly, and the service was excellent. Apparently, it takes a long long long time to get food, so if you want it, order immediately. Its convenient to Union Square, but if you are reading this, you probably already know that.

Still standing- I knew this place as Corner billiards -appropriate with its geographic location. Management is much better now though place looks nicer and prices are still decent. Added plus -its open in the afternoon so you can play casual games in a virtually empty pool hall, and hear some good tunes

Certainly one of the best pool hall in NYC. With more than 20 professional billiard tables, dart games, and an overall smooth vibe, both experts and amateurs can go and play there. Although the hourly rates for the tables are higher than other pool hall or bars, its worth the difference of quality. However, the personel tends to monitor the customers too closely,
