Charcoal-grilled steak at Pompstation Amsterdam

Bar Restaurant Pompstation is housed in a former water pumping station dating from 1912 on Zeeburgerdijk in Amsterdam-East. We serve premium grilled steaks, locally sourced fish and vegetarian dishes — always freshly prepared on our charcoal grill.

All this in our industrial venue with a New York vibe, combined with live jazz and soul music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Our live music always plays in the background, creating a genuine experience and a great night out — perfect for a date night or if you've got something to celebrate.

At Pompstation Amsterdam, the focus is on food from the charcoal grill: premium steaks, grilled fish, oysters and smoked vegetables, complemented by wagyu specials and an extensive cocktail and wine list. Thanks to its spacious layout and high ceiling, Pompstation is just as suitable as an event venue for corporate drinks receptions, company parties and business dinners as it is for a romantic dinner or drinks on the terrace.
