Amsterdam Restaurant and Tapas Lounge used to be called "Amsterdam Cafe" or "AmCaf" for short, and the moniker of Amcaf continues to linger. It also used to be awesome, but now it's less awesome. 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 known as Havana Central. Recently unearthed historical evidence has demonstrated that Columbia students enjoyed Am Caf at least as far back as 1983. Now, the place maintains a strangely classy air, and serves overpriced (but tasty) food. The titular tapas are horribly overpriced. Drinks are unsurprisingly costly as well, but the place offers a decent happy hour deal: $6 cocktails from 3-7 on weekdays.

The lounge space remains a somewhat popular destination, especially among grad students and engineers due to its location. It hosts events on occasion, but not frequently.you have to put on neckties just to enter the damn place so you can pay $11 for a fruit-flavored martini.
