BarFly's Review of Amazon Sports Bar and Cafe (CLOSED)

This place has apparently been renamed the Red Eye Lounge. Absolutely freakin' surreal is about the easiest way to describe it the Amazon. The Brazilian wood laden entrance suggested a carefully crafted rain forest theme. That whole feeling stops at the top of the stairs, where the Amazon forest logs give way to a totally nondescript room, filled with a potpouri of vagrants, hippies, haggard barflies, and queens. A totally overly amplified open mic assures you that your conversations will be kept loud and short. Why it's a sports bar is a bit puzzling, the total lack of televisions and sports memorabilia suggests the opposite.

It's a bar...

I've been there and had a few drinks. The service was fine, not great, but fine and the crowd... is or was a very sordid bunch of hippies, old drunk guys, strippers and punks. Go for a cheap pint of PBR at happy hour and open-mic if you like loud music...also, since the owner changed it has been better!

Tweak much?

I think you aren't welcome in here unless you're a meth head. The clientele and the staff sure the hell are.

Kickass CLUB

The Amazon Cafe is a CLUB, not a sports bar. The atmosphere is friendly enough with lots of intelligent people to talk to. Sometimes the open mic gets a little loud but that is because sometimes they have to turn it up so we can hear it over the cheering of the crowd. The cops patrol EVERY bar in downtown with a vengance, not just the amazon. The review above must have been written by someone who came in on a not so happening day, or it wasn't their scene. If you like music, cheap beer and chicks who like to have fun stop on by and kick it.

Lame...

Noisy... watch out for the owner... cops patrol this place with a vengence. I'd rather drink with bums who mill about at the bottom of the stairs.

Maybe it's meant to be an AMAZON sports bar, rather than an Amazon SPORTS bar . . . do you see bow and arrows and blowguns about as you look around?
