| - The gay bar that you'd feel comfortable bringing your mother to.
Ambiance:
The decor is elegant and sophistocated while the lighting keep things young and energetic, music is the typical techno that all gay bars play.
Drinks/Food:
Tasty, inventive drinks with fun flavors. If you like "girlie drinks" they can stasify you. Also has a wonderful appetizer and casual dinner menu with things like pita and hummus, tomato and mozerella, pizzas, sandwiches, but with really fresh ingredients.
Crowd:
I tend to go on the slower weekdays with friends, so meeting a big group of people would be better then, when you can actually hear each other talk on the patio (which is also beautifully designed). On the weekends, I believe it's crowded and more mixed (lots of straight girls dragging their boyfriends). Also tends to be younger and trendier. Although people seem nice enough, the crowd does tend to feel fashion/appearance conscious. I know that if I were single and looking, I would definitely feel intimidated in this bar.
My recommendation, go out and bring your friends. You'll feel like a fabulous trend setter. Though you can pretty much wear anything, it's also a nice place dress up a little and make a night of it.
Though beware the Light Rail parking woes...
P.S. One plus...many gay bars will not let you open a tab. They will cash out money for you to pay with and usually charge you a fee. Amsterdam WILL let you open a tab for the evening.
