What sort of cuisine does Pompstation Amsterdam serve?

Pompstation Amsterdam is a steakhouse and grill with international influences: premium steaks, grilled fish, oysters and smoked vegetables, much of which is cooked over a charcoal fire, complemented by vegetarian and vegan dishes. We also offer an extensive cocktail and wine list featuring homemade syrups and fresh herbs.

Are there vegetarian options on the menu?

Yes. Although Pompstation is known as a premium steakhouse and grill, we’ve expanded our menu to include the most delicious grilled vegetables and fish dishes. So you’re also in good hands with us for vegetarian and vegan dishes — think burrata with roasted San Marzano tomatoes, aubergine parmigiana and a vegetarian seasonal menu as part of our group packages.

Can I visit Pompstation just for cocktails and live music?

Yes. At Pompstation Amsterdam, you can also take a seat at the bar without having dinner to enjoy cocktails, a glass of wine and live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Bookings aren’t compulsory for the bar, but are recommended on busy evenings.

02 · Music, terrace & atmosphere

The evening itself

Is there live music at Pompstation?

Yes. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening, there’s live jazzy background music – usually instrumental – played by artists from, amongst others, the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. The regular genres include jazz, soul, singer-songwriter and bossa nova.

You can always have a chat and catch up, as we ensure the music is always kept in the background. You can also ask for a table at the back of the restaurant, where the live music is a little quieter. The acoustics in our venue are renowned for being excellent — which is why so many musical events and parties take place at Pompstation Amsterdam.

Does Pompstation have a terrace?

Yes. Pompstation has a large, sunny terrace in the courtyard — a popular spot for drinks or dinner in the summer and on warm evenings. You can even book a table on the terrace, which is unique in Amsterdam. Terrace tables for groups can also be booked in advance; please contact us by email or telephone to arrange this.
