Hi all,

We'll be in the Dam for the first time October 26th - 29th for my other half's 30th birthday

Was hoping you good peeps could recommend a few good CS to try? Thanks to badbone, who has kindly suggested Basjoes on a previous post, but am hoping other members could suggest a few more for us Amsterdam virgins?

Thanks folks!

Cheers Kingdoc, more than enough there for us to sample!

A few on your list were already in mind, but it's great to get a second opinion

Hey Honey B, be sure to try the Honey B, (a nice Sativa), at Barneys or Amnesia.Also, every shop has it's own flavor depending on: the kind of music you like, if you want a lively or chilled atmosphere, if you want the best quality Gear; or, if you just want to experience everything. Just specify what your looking for and you will get a lot of suggestions. By the way, you can't go wrong with any of King Docs suggestions, there all quality Shops

[xXEXCALABERXx]

I d recomend bagheera basjoe sheeba n katsu. And on the more touristy side barneys good bud tad expensive but worth it imo

[HoneyB]

Cheers for the suggestions folks.

Just looking for nice, chilled out places. I'm a major Pink Floyd fan so I'm pretty gutted that's not there anymore but anywhere with good tunes and a relaxed atmosphere will do for us!

i don't know whether anyone has suggested that both of you read How not to get hit by a bike ... for first time visitors to amsterdam it is very important to become aware how fast crazy and dangerous the bicycles can be ...

stay safe even when stoned/high/blazed/ripped/... and have a great trip

ps to the list i would add yo-yo and la tertulia, both run by women, both have a pleasant atmosphere, both shut early in the evening, both worth a visit

pps yo-yo has a great apple dessert

Thanks for the vibes guys,I could write another list of the WORST coffeeshops that shouldnt be set foot in! AT ALL .

Ok then i will write it on the basis of price & quality **drums**


1.Double Rasta Coffeeshop - Touristy ex bar kinda place that plays loud music & sells utter junk! avoid at all costs.


2.Any Grasshoppper Chain - weed is overpriced rubbish + claims of theft by staff from stoned tourists is another bad thing ive heard about in the past.


3.Rockland Coffeeshop - Minimum purchase/average quality/dingy/dodgy staff & outright dangerous steps are some things that spring to mind about this place.


4.Doors Coffeeshop - thou i smoke my own while here a couple of times each trip ive heard waay to much about there small menu & poor products from fellow explorers to ignore listing them here,Thou there drinks arnt as expensive as say "lost in amsterdam".


5.Any Bulldog Coffeeshop - unless your just wanting a seat/drink/surf/snack & to smoke your own! again small/poor & overpriced menu,"thou to there credit the bulldog palace lets you smoke your own while in there bar".


6.Coffeeshop Paradise - small dingy shop/stale overpriced weed,End of.


7.Black star Coffeeshop - terrible staff/average overpriced smokes.


8.Rastababy Coffeeshop - weed menu typicaly is or was swazi/colombian/jamaican,Typical touristy crap that dates from the early 80`s & to be avoided if you like the good stuff.


9.Lost In Amsterdam Coffeeshop - i could see what they were trying to do here but a coffeeshop that doesnt even sell weed/small tables/cushions for seats in the front window/expensive drinks & the other seats literaly at the toilet door dont go well with everyone.

I have not been to it, but ive been told by a few people the "Morrison Haze" at The Doors is exceptional.
I'd be curious to try and see what it really is, maybe a good SSH ?

Never scored from there! thou ive been about 6-8 times over the years,I buy a few drinks + leave a tip for letting me sit & smoke while watching the snooker for a bit,I have noticed there menu is like purple haze/white widow & K2! none of it jumps out saying "buy me" .
