Can't say anything about the shops myself but if you check the old west map/listings these shops are in the area of vondelpark, i think ? Blue Lagoon & Tuintje are both on Overtoom which runs along the north of the park .
If you do visit any of them , please post something about them , me and the misses are planning to stay in the area next year , any info would be great, have a good trip :-)

Katsu and Club Media are not far from the Heineken Experience. Mellow Yellow is close also. I usually stop by Noon or Rookies before heading to Vondelpark.

Mellow Yellow ain't far either. I've been to the tour, and wouldn't recommend it. I wasn't that impressed. Go to the only actual brewery in Amsterdam and you can see a windmill too.

I agree with geoffk. Brouwerij 't IJ it is not near Vondelpark, but it is worth the trip.

Click and drag this map to the Heineken Experience then click the little blue paddles in the area.

If you want to go farther afield than that, this map covers the entire Netherlands.
