New AMP
I'll be honest here: I went to AMP in many different states of mind, with no small amount of people and I seldom had a bad time. If push came to shove, it was my... gulp, favorite bar in St. Louis, though please don't tell anyone this. Have only been to the new AMP, still at Manchester and Boyle - just on a different corner - and I've yet to make a reaonsable determination, despite the obvious "having problems with change" first impression.
Longtime FO52C (Friend of 52nd City) Rocky McCalla notes that the ol' Alternative Music Pub is celebrating its official debut in the very near future. Here's the missive:

From Gritty to Pretty!
The new and improved AMP is going to be the hottest place to hang this summer.
Head down to AMP at 4200 Manchester in “The Grove” on Friday, June 1, 2007 from 5:00 PM to 3:00 AM to celebrate their GRAND OPENING at the new location! There will be fabulous flavored rum concoctions served up by Bacardi and scrumptious treats to nosh on. Don’t do rum? AMP still has a full bar and just added New Belgium draft beers: Fat Tire, Sunshine Wheat and Skinny Dip. DJ Blublood (of Velvet, Rue 13 and Creepy Crawl fame) will spin 80s favorites and then some. There will also be free give a ways!
Everyone’s favorite bar, AMP, moves across the street and gets an upgrade! Still in “The Grove”, AMP is a bright star in the Restoration St. Louis Project. The new space is bigger, brighter and better. AMP now has two bars, a game room, an expanded menu, and a secluded outdoor patio. With its modern design, hip paintings by local artists, its spankin’ new drink menu, and did we mention the private patio-- you’ll love it even more than the old space. Don’t worry--not everything has changed. AMP still plays the best alternative and underground music in Saint Louis, offers the finest drinks in the city and has the friendliest bartenders around.
