Amsterdam Restaurant and Tapas Lounge

Amsterdam Restaurant and Tapas Lounge used to be called Amsterdam Cafe or AmCaf for short. It also used to be awesome, but now it's terrible. You can find it on Amsterdam Avenue at 119th St.

In the days of yore prior to 2004, Columbia students could get pitchers of cheap beer from 6 pm until closing time, making it a hangout on par with the West End, which has since undergone its own unfortunate metamorphosis into a Cuban restaurant. Recently unearthed historical evidence has demonstrated that Columbia students enjoyed Am Caf at least as far back as 1983. Now, you have to put on neckties just to enter the damn place so you can pay $11 for a fruit-flavored martini. As you can expect, no one goes there anymore.
