What People Are Saying About Amnesia Bar Inc

In Short
Blood-red walls, curtains and lighting saturate every inch of the one-room venue, while a hodgepodge of hanging mesh and metal lamps add a medieval air. An old, stripped-down piano and miniature iron gate that borders the stage further execute a haunted feel. Bar stools abound, but smart barhoppers arrive early to nab the best seat in the house--a lone booth accompanied by cushy armchairs.

I love this place, now and when it was the Chameleon too. It is relaxing, not fluffy and stuffy, the beer selection is priceless, the music is great and the staff, well...you rock!

One of the best and most diverse happy hours in the city. I think they have $2 microbrews till eight. Here is a clue on how to get a good review from me, $2 microbrews till eight good review, $3.50 budweiser till six bad. They also have live music.

Found this place over a year ago and I've been debating whether or not to share this red gem with the world. Amnesia rocks! I've seen some of the best bands there in my favorite type of setting, intimiate and unpretentious. With the high stage you can see easily and the room sounds great. I'm hard pressed to pick my favorite night though: the free jazz on Wednesdays is unparralleled, Thursdays are what's hot and new in folk and rock and Sundays are a consistently amazing variety of music. Plus, it's a great place to shake your ass on the weekends if you like soul, 80's and hip hop. Although the drinks are cheap and tasty this place will bankrupt me!
