AMAsterdam | Dutch Bar & Store (2024)
“There is a little piece of Holland right on Front Street and it’s filled with the sites and sounds of Amsterdam.”
As you turn into this quaint alleyway, you encounter an authentic trolley car that was operational in early 1900 in Amsterdam. It is fully restored and perfect for capturing that Dutch selfie.
Don’t miss a single detail; the rod iron balconies, the Dutch windows, the cobblestones and archways, all transport you to the capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam.
Amasterdam’s bar serves up cold beers and cocktails, accompanied with Dutch cheese, while the shop sells everything from cheese to jewelry, to toiletries and luggage. Top European designers in clothing, handbags, and knives can be purchased in this Dutch haven.
When shopping check the ceiling for the largest collection of collectible tins on the island.
Drop by during the day to say hello to the owner, Arun, he has plenty of great stories about the Island and the downtown core. In the evening you will often find live music and a unique mix of locals and tourists enjoying an escape to Amsterdam complete with Hookahs and Heineken Beer.
After some drinks, you forget to be in the Caribbean but don’t worry, you won’t have to cycle back home. The staff is happy to arrange a taxi for you, or arrange one here.
Before you leave be sure to pose in front of the I 💗Amasterdam sign and climb inside a giant wooden shoe. (#wearesxm)
AMAsterdam | Philipsburg, Sint Maarten, easy overview:
I cannot say enough good things about this place. They have the most fantastic Dutch beer or local SXM Beer, also very tasty hookah's ;) The staff was incredibly helpful in recommendations and suggestions for my wife. Great atmosphere and service. Worth a visit.
I visited AMAsterdam recently. It's a nice quiet bar which means no rush. The people are friendly and the arrangement is impressive. In the evening they were playing live music and a unique mix of locals and tourists enjoying an escape to Amsterdam complete with Hookahs. I love it there!
We sat outside in a beautiful setting, having elegant drinks while my husband enjoyed the hookah. There is outside and inside seating and the bar feel is so lovely. Although there were many other people there, the setting allows for privacy for each seating arrangement. No one rushed us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
Arun and his staff are always friendly and helpful. This place is super to meet with other locals, especially in the weekends in can be nice and busy. When visiting Philipsburg (which is a MUST) make sure to pass by AMAsterdam, it's worth it :)
How to best spend your day in Philipsburg, rent beach chairs at Holland House, chill for a little bit and have lunch there. After go shopping, walk Front street and check Old Methodist Church, Courthouse, Old Street and have a drink at AMAsterdam. Lastly you can either keep drinking here or go back to Holland House and chill in the beach chairs or enjoy a sunset in the lounge.
