This place is great and has always been one of my favorite places to hang out, its huge with a long bar and now a seperate tobacco smoking area. All the guys that work there are totally cool and the hotel upstairs is awesome as well, nice rooms (all private facilities) and cheap rates.

HIGHLY recommended.

Check out these vids i made in April 2009 at Rookies

Take a little stroll and make sure you hit this shop.

Smoke the house blend, which is called Rohisa or Rosiha... 10.40e for a 1 gram, which is a great price.

The patio is awesome too... and the service was great as were the edibles and drinkables.

We almost booked them for our second trip, but ended up elsewhere... but in the future, Rookies will always be on the list!

ive been to rookies every time ive been to amsterdam and with good reason! Ive purchased northern lights from here which was a lovely smoke, but ive been here three nights in a row, without buying weed from there, and had a wicked time, friendly staff, good atmosphere. visit rookies.

Last night I was in need of a weed refill and, having been disappointed by Mello Yello's SSH, I decided to check out Rookies again, having bought some Cheese there last week too.

Bought some SSH, 12 Euro per gram. Was gonna get something for 10 but I was eager to try my favourite strain.

Nice nugs, not as dense as they could be. Signature smell of SSH. Ground up, lots of crystals and very fresh and intense aroma.

Smoked it and it was great, buzzing nicely. I had this also as my last J of the night last night, I have to say: this stuff ranks up there with Hunters SSH (my usual favourite) in terms of strength and quality. I need to compare them closely at some time.

Also was looking for a strong indica/hybrid. Found the Orange bud for a reasonable 9.10. Would definitely buy it again, excellent smoke for a good price.

As for the place, I like it. Yeah it's a tourist joint but I don't have a problem with that as long as it isn't packed. Good thing is that this end of the street (away from Leidseplein) does not get very busy, for some reason people don't make it further than the nearby intersection. Plenty of space inside, good tunes, good vibes. Good weed and good place - will visit more often methinks.

Try Basjoes for OB, cheaper at about €7 a gram as well.

I was here on Wednesday and bought a gram of the Buddha Cheese. Good taste and got me high, but of all the buds i've ever bought in the Dam, this was the first with seeds. Not big ol honkers, the super tiny white ones, but still a bummer.

I recently bought some Rookies Special and Buddha Cheese.

The special....ain't nuthin special. Smells and smokes like the orange bud they sell, maybe not as good if anything! High volume/fluffy buds.

The Buddha Cheese is great stuff. No seeds in mine. Smells, looks (that lovely bright green colour) and tastes like Buddha Cheese I have had elsewhere. Good smoke.

Didn't notice it last time I was there. Will check it out. I generally go for their 4 star weeds (in terms of strength) as I am often disappointed by lower strength weeds for not getting me stoned! I guess its just tolerance. But I will check out Romulan because I am a big Star Trek fan too! :D

Unfortunately, the Romulan was sold out and off the menu when i stopped by a few days ago, or as the bud guy put it "It went up in smoke."
