The Texas State Fair ends tonight!

The State Fair of Texas ends tonight, October 17, 2010. We are really looking forward to seeing all our old friends and regulars back on their favorite barstools. The parking situation will drastically improve, and as always, our Monday night jazz scene is the best in Texas!

Barack the Vote!

On March 4, 2008, Texas Democrats and independents are going to have the opportunity to do something they haven't done in decades: impact the outcome of a presidential campaign. A quick glance at the title of this post reveals that this writer already has his favorite. The photo above is from an Obama rally held yesterday in Fair Park, not far from The Amsterdam Bar. The time has come for a change, and on March 4th, Texas can deliver that change.

Hurray!!! The State Fair is over!!!

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but the Texas State Fair 2007 ends tonight around 10:00 PM. That means we get our parking back! That means we get our regulars back!

We've missed you; please come back and visit us tomorrow night for Jazz night! The weather is cooling off and it's a great time to hang out on our patio.

Hah-ha-ha!!! I love the holiday season!

Only two more weeks of the Texas State Fair!

With yesterday's Texas-OU game over (a tough loss for Texas) and behind us, there are only two more weeks of the Texas State Fair. Here at the Amsterdam Bar we always greet the State Fair with mixed feelings. It's an exciting event and the Texas-OU game is one of our biggest days of the year, but overall the fair depresses business by taking up all the parking in Exposition Park. Many of our regulars stay away and business slows down accordingly.

We are looking forward to welcoming all our friends back on October 22, 2007 when the State Fair ends. This Fall looks like a great season to visit the Amsterdam Bar. Our patio is looking better than ever with new lighting and many parties and bands scheduled.

We'll you see you all soon!
