I know the place and visit it for some years ago. Last Sunday afternoon i was in for a drink around 5 h PM. There was really NOBODY! Did the public and the bar change?
Bar Arc is a large trendy and stylish bar and finger food restaurant in the Reguliersdwarsstraat. It's popular with the trendy gay guys and also a good place to bring your female friends.
During the week, this is the perfect place to have a coffee and a few drinks with friends from Amsterdam.
In the weekend it gets really busy at eleven.
In the summer there is a popular terrace on the street. Every day Happy Cocktail Hour between 17:00 and 19:00 and Wednesday cocktail night.

i was meeting friends at arc on thursday night. i got there early and thought ill have a drink. ...big mistake.
i was very surprised by the attitude at the bar. not being served or being rude to is the last thing you want to experience when you go out. especially over the PRIDE.
maybe i was not wearing the right t shirt, didnt have the "current" haircut or maybe wasnt waving at the barmen with 200 euro note. i dont know what it was but i will not recommend this venue to anyone from now on.
The Arc is my bar-of-choice to meet up with my friends before we go to parties. It is quite large by Amsterdam-standards and has a very open-minded atmosphere where many people (not just gays) will find themselves at home. Pre-conceived people will definately feel threatened. :)
FYI, in NL is it really common that you pay for toilets. That is not just Arc or Soho, it is (almost) everywhere.
