Sunday night we went out for Belly Dance Sass and Wild Gypsy Brass at Amnesia. The entertainment was great, one of the belly dancers in particular was absolutely amazing and Brass Menazeri, the Balkan Brass band that came on after the dancing rocked.

The bar was really nice and the event drew an interesting looking (and large) crowd. The only down side was the bar offerings, which the bartender told me was limited to beer, wine, vodka, and gin. No problem, I thought, and ordered us a couple vodka martinis. When we got them though we both thought they tasted a little strange and very weak, which I chalked up to being due to the fact that they only serve one vodka, some Korean one I had never heard of. Now, however, from what I’ve found on Amnesia’s web site and a few other places, I’ve realized it wasn’t vodka at all but a low alcohol content, vodka-like, Korean distilled beverage called soju. So they lose major points for telling me I was getting vodka when I actually wasn’t, but the bar was nice enough that I’m grudgingly willing to forgive it. I think I’ll stick to wine next time though.
