Fighting? Amigo's? Did you really show up to review this bar?
As I read the bar reviews today, I was stunned to see the review on Amigo's listed a, "30s and 40's crowd who drink, smoke, and fight". And the next line (??), "a biker crowd in a wannabe Orange County Cantina". My first thought was obviously Shellie Branco wasn't at Amigo's. Her assessment was so far off base. I wondered if she got the picture from a friend and acted like she really showed up to do the review. If so, bad choice. Amigo's is a family owned restaurant with great customer service and a friendly staff. The bar atmosphere is exceptionally friendly. I have been to Amigo's almost every Friday night since February. My husband is the lead singer for Elevation 406, the house band. There has "never" been a fight, nope, not even one. I have also been there some Saturday nights to watch Elevation 406 or to check out other bands. Again there has "never" been a fight. The crowd is a great mix, consisting mostly of 30-50 year olds, however, there are a few 20, 60, 70, and occasionally 80 year olds. There is one gentleman who comes in that I believe to be in his late 70's to early 80's, he dances almost every dance and has an awesome time. I also take my 82 year old mother occasionally. I would not take my mother to a place that had fights or even a rowdy crowd. Amigo's is a great club, perhaps like those in Orange County, I wouldn't know because I'm not really a bar person. I do know, when people from the southland come to Amigos, they always comment that they don't get to see good bands like these in their cantinas or bars. Personally I go to watch my husband perform and to socialize with nice hardworking, intelligent people who also enjoy good music and listening to a band who knows how to captivate a crowd. The customers at Amigo's are from all walks of life. I have never seen any of them be disrespectful to each other. There are probably 1-5 "bikers" who show up on Friday nights. When these people aren't dressed up in their biker gear, most are dressed in their uniforms protecting and serving our community. That could be another reason Amigo's doesn't have any fights. 3 comments from 3 users

In the past 3 years I have been there 10 times and I have seen about 5-6 fights. Maybe the owners have gotten their customers a little bit more under control.

Thank you for actually blogging about something that has to do with the subject. Before blogging, I spoke with one of the owners, and several regular patrons, they were as surprised as I was about the fight story. They all gave me the same answer. ...no fights period for a very very long time. What happened before I began going there I couldn't tell you. Perhaps its the change or split in ownership that has made a difference. The owner is on top of the business at all times watching from the inside and out, and thankfully there have been no fights.
