[DANDOM-NYC] Danfan Meet-ups - DanFests - WingDings

[Fionna Kazanow]

We've used the Amsterdam Ale House for Danfests the last couple of tours.  The food is really good and it's a short distance to the Beacon.  I would let them know what dates and approx. how many.  There is also a Danfest page on Facebook as well.  Looking forward to 21ST Century Dan on Sept.23!

Everyone, 

Earlier today I called the Amsterdam Ale House for some additional info. The capacity is about 150. They do have a full bar for those who desire "a pool of margaritas", or something else stronger than beer. They usually get a lot of Beacon-related business; the manager I spoke with specifically mentioned patrons of shows by The Allman Brothers Band. 

This establishment seems like a good place for Danfests, but I am not sure if any of the local fans who know the area better have commented yet. So are there any other ideas, or do we proceed with The Amsterdam Ale House?
