Conclusion

Amsterdam’s sports bars offer a perfect blend of international charm and local warmth, catering to the city’s growing interest in American sports like NFL and NBA. Whether you’re enjoying the high-energy atmosphere at Coco’s Outback or the intimate vibe at Cafe Belgique, there’s no shortage of fantastic venues to catch a game. We are in the early stages of refining our database of great sports bars around the world. As an American who spends part of the year in Europe, I am constantly researching new places to watch the NBA, NFL, and other U.S. sports leagues. While I have been to several Belushi’s, I have not been to their Amsterdam location. Every Belushi’s bar that I have experienced is GREAT for US Sports (English Premier League too).
