Winston Kingdom
The Dommelsch vaasjes at the Winston Kingdom, a couple of blocks away from Getto, are smaller than elsewhere... What's up with that? And they still want €2,- for them as well? I'll drink Becks or IJ beer instead thank you... Nice place though... Little stage with punkbands playing, Betty Page video playing on the wall, nice people to talk with... A bit like a mix of Soundgarden and Maloe Melo. I'll definately come back here.
Getto
Went to Getto on the Warmoesstraat for some cocktails and some food. Every sunday cocktails are only €5,- and food ain't too pricey either. Great things on the menu like Kangaroo and Ostrich. They call themselves "a place with an attitude free zone for gays, lesbians, bi's queers and straights. Grolsch is €2,10 but who wants to drink Grolsch anyway, it's shit and gives me a nasty hangover. There's probably just one beer worse than Grolsch and that's Budweiser. Anyway... Getto has happy hours Tuesday's to Saturdays and on Thursday's they have something called a Beerball... Not sure what it is, but apperantly it's got something to do with special beers.... I'll have to go back and see what it exactly is.

Maloe Melo
After The Cave I still had the strength to go to another live bar in Amsterdam, on the Lijnbaansgracht, near Korsakoff and Soundgarden. No beer in glasses here... Just bottles of Leeuw for € 2,00 a piece... Pretty good price!! The big advantage of this bar compared to any other blues bar in town is that Maloe Melo has live music every night and it's not full of tourists who have too much money to spend... This place is for "normal" people, who like "normal" music and like playing pinball too :)

The Cave
After seeing a great band called Demia in Bitterzoet last week, I decided to see 3 more heavy metal bands... Only this time in a proper metal bar called The Cave, which is located on the Prinsengracht near Leidseplein... I'm gonna be short and simple...If you're in to loud music € 2,00 Heineken and very nice people.... Then go and visit the Cave...
