Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Paradox without a doubt. Sat in there will the wife to show her that coffeeshops are decent (as we were going to the Ann Frank house I thought going in stoned / high would be not appropriate) Anyway -in our enjoyable coffee break there - a large % of customers came in and only bought their cakes. Sa...

Excellent write up - flows nicely and a very nice sense of observation , the city and characters.

Daytime -you can get a decent enough breakfast , evening you can have a drink upstairs in a liberal atmosphere which most cities would die for. Do not understand the feelings against this place Anyway - when staying a few years ago locally - and refusing to pay around 18 or so Euro for a "hotel...

The journey from Amsterdam to Berlin is one of the "classic" routes left - old school trains , comfy enough ,with an engine change at the border - which takes about 20 mins or so - (handy to nip out for a cigarette) - done it several times. Odd in this Schengen era (and I write from Britai...

Excellent , slightly different and informative report. Thank you.

I really empathize with the concern over checking and double checking your bag contents , bad enough over here on a day trip - can get really worrying over there when in a "relaxed" mode.....

I have in the past watched football upstairs in the Bulldog Palace. I know people get a bit sniffy about this place , but what is there not to like for a comfy seat , a beer and a few spliffs.?

Good company too , and of course I brought my own weed.

Excellent , well presented and illustrated report.

How was your Hotel Abba stay earlier on ?

No offence intended Matty - I think you are a New Yorker (or close to) and I love the city - but have always been told that in the event of a Nuclear War or similar - guaranteed survivors would be the cockroaches. :D I am sorry you seem to be running into problems with AMS accomodation - good luck -...

Hell of a lot more bedbugs in NYC one gathers

Do they still have "roach motel" (they check in - but cannot check out" adverts on the subway.

Light hearted comment BTW..

Increasingly busy , tricky to get a seat last night - so left) , an absolute quality place and very "democratic" - always enjoyed a modest pint or two with a a smoke , much as a couple of glasses of red wine after a smoke, keeps the enjoyment going. Batavia is a very special place , - dece...

Much kudos for their (yes I am boring) - SSH - a superb uplifting smoke - especially for the first time after a bit of a break - and 10E a gram - very nice in a joint , and even alone in a wooden pipe.

Well for an European flight at 1500 today - it took about 5 mins , - quite superb really - my scan was somewhat amused by my very relaxed position , which I think they picked up on with a very jovial stance.

Plenty of last min joint smoking going on at the outside smoking areas ......

Dropped in Tuesday as I wanted a g of Lebanese Red - nostalgia time - 8E and a lovely, soft , dreamy smoke - ate the last of it on the train to Schipol ! Bought a g of their Super Silver Haze (having enjoyed Amnesia from Voyagers - which is world class) The SSH did not dissapoint - their strongest, ...

Just back an hour - stayed in "The Abba" - Monday to today for 135 Eurs for bright , rear single room with shower. Standards great , warm , clean and comfortable - friendly young staff and no problem too small. Dining room has had a makeover and the new Ginger cat is friendly . Room cleane...

I took a chance (could have been drug tested at work any time) , after a very long and cruel "non smoking" period with paying a quick visit to the now closed "Glory" coffeeshop. Circa 2010 .... Bought a pure pre-roll , got absolutely zoned out , such that the 100 metre walk to th...
