| - Amsterdam was the bomb up till what? 2006? 2007?
The bar was a lot smaller back then before they started renovations. I guess it was bad timing cause as soon as they were done, the light rail construction began. I think this did some major financial damage to the original bar.
The first time I've been was back in 2001. Freshly 21 and I tended to like it. The bartenders knew how to pour a drink and got it out to you fast. The music was pretty much like every other bar. It wasn't that bad though I hate gayish dance music. The door chick (I forgot here name) older mama type, was always very nice and friendly as hell. So were the bartenders. Hell, most of them at that time remembered what I had to order the weekend before. Even one who I didn't see for well over a year remembered what I used to drink.
That was then...
Now...Parking is a bitch, back then you had options, now...forget it. Door guy, probably some random straight guy. No biggie. Walking in, depending on the night, can be completely crowded or completely dead. There's no in between...
Bartenders got progressively worse. From what I heard from the previous cocktail servers, bartenders, and managers, the new owners fired or squeezed out the previously employees who had been there for years. Most usually called the new owners a "straight douchebag". I never met the guy but if 5 different NICE people said the same thing...*shrug*
The bartenders there are slower than shit.
1. Completely empty, wait, 15 minutes for a rum and coke (yes I timed it).
2. Completely crowded, wait, 23 minutes.
3. Completely dead, wait, 17 minutes, we ended up walking out cuzz the straight bartender was talking to his groupies.
4. Completely busy, wait, 15 minutes in line, another 10 waiting for the jackass bartender to take my order, another 10 for him to come back with my drink, 5 to run my card. That time I left a nasty note and no tip.
Since I end up waiting most of the time for a drink, I can say the music inside sucks, the music on the dance floor sucks. However on the outside dance floor is good on occasion.
However, the overall attitude being that I know a good chunk of gay guys there is like night and day. Botox and bitchy at Amsterdam, nice at Charlies. I don't know what it is but that place makes everyone grumpy.
I wish the old owners would come back and fire all the tards that work there.
