I used to like Amsterdam's when I was younger. There was usually a fun crowd, decent music and I would recommend it to my girlfriends as a great place to get our dance on during the weekends. The drinks were decently priced and poured, and more often than not the bartenders were friendly.
Most of that seemed to have changed. I went in there for St. Patrick's day to meet some friends. The place was DEAD, there were about 8 of us in there until well after 10 and the music was awful. The real kicker though? I ordered a club soda which they used a single (low ball, small glass) to squirt some fountain club soda in to and then charged me 3 bucks.
I've never in my life been charged for club soda that comes out of a fountain. When I asked about it the bartender was pretty rude. And he really bad hair, like he had stuck his finger in a light socket. Maybe they think they are in Snottsdale now? Maybe being decent to your customers is going out of style.. Whatever it is they won't be getting any more of my business.
