Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Does someone hear some strange noise in the background - keeps repeating itself over and over again. It's like a droning sound. Most annoying.

I don't think either their web site or their FB page is run by the staff in Grey Area. It's run by fans. Certainly the web site is - not so sure about the FB page. As for 2015 I was hearing that all through 2011 until that visit over New Year when they're singing a completely different tune now. Th...

You're all missing the one vital point i hav made No law has passed that tourists wont be able to by weed in amsterdam Boner mentions the 1st jan 2013, but no law is coming in on that date. it will be discussed this year but nothing has been agreed.

""I work for an airline and see who goes to Amsterdam - there's absolutely no doubt stoners are in the minority" So you can tell by looking at someone if they will use a coffeeshop? Of course not, stoners come in all shapes, sizes, ages etc. But you learn about a lot about people whe...

Slip and Sal, You wont be going to amsterdam if you cant by smoke, neither will anyone else on this forum nor 1000's others. This is precisely why this weedpass will never happen in amsterdam. Stop believing the hype from people who are just trying to get hits on there websites . Politicians will a...

Peter Lunk dedicates his life to spreading info about cannabis in the Netherlands and keeping tokers across the world informed. I would trust him much more than some shit Dutch tourism site, the author of which has probably never even entered a coffeeshop in his life and writes articles on the back...

Do we really need another topic on this? :/ I believe we do, because on the other threads everyone is saying "it ain't going to happen". Unfortunately it increasingly looks like it definitely "IS going to happen". Nol van Schaik and Peter Lunk are in a position to know far more ...

Worst coffee shop in Amsterdam. The bud tender and the staff were all dicks. That's an opinion 'cause I think that as far as staff this is one of the best shop in town I agree, the staff in Amnesia are really, really nice and friendly. They've never been rude to me in any of my dozens of visits. So...

To us as strong smokers the warnings may seem dramatic, but to those who smoke little or never they're valid.

I work with some people who went to Amsterdam and wanted to try the cake. They were very, very unwell as they ate the whole thing in one go not realising what effect it would have.

Any idea when the new owners take over? Disappointing not to see James again as my next visit won't be until the end of March and I'm sure he'll have gone by then. As some of you know my last experience there was less than great (James' son being unfriendly and rude) but I wanted to give it another ...

I won't let it put me off and will go again when I'm back in March. But if the boy is there then I'll just ask for his father or leave! And I also agree that kids grow out of attitude, but it's not good service to have them projecting it to your customers. I'd been in Basjoe before so knew they were...

I did wonder if it was the owner's son. And to be fair it was close to midnight and things were very manic outside so maybe they'd had a bit much by then.

Thanks peeps - I'll give it a go when I'm back in March.

Went to Basjoe on Saturday (New Years Eve). Firstly when I passed at about 11am they were all shuttered up so I guess they don't open until midday. Later in the evening (about 11.15/11.30 pm) I passed there on the way to Nieuwmarkt with some friends and popped in as there was no queue, though the sh...

I always travel on my own, though meet up with friends over there. Just take a book with me if I feel lonely in restaurants, but you often find people talk to you anyway. Travelling solo is great. (Oh and I'm female if that makes any difference)
