Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

EDIT.. SOLVED. 100 points to Balou who got it straight away. Turned out to be Highway. A big thanks to everyone for their help.

I really hope this is the appropriate sub forum to place this..... I'm really sorry if it is not, MODS please feel free to move if necessary.

I would like to know the name of one CS that we liked..... the only clues are two photos I have.

EDIT.. pics changed.




My guess is either "Free Adam" or "Pick Up The Pieces" based on roughly where I think it was,.... but looking at the directory it could possibly be 'T Ness Cafe???..... I just cant remember if we purchased any smoke in there or not though?

Any help would be much appreciated as we absolutely loved the chilled atmosphere and tunes.

Let's eliminate Nes right away. It is not Nes.

Ok,... thought not,.... maybe one of the other two I reckon it is then.

Hmmm.... I should just add a few of the other interesting pics I have from '09 that are worth sharing while i'm in the mood for sharing,.... they will not necessarily be smoking pics though...

1st - Our home away from home, H.Q, base station.





Tisfris - A wonderful little cafe, really nice cake, yummy!




Sex Museum - Some funny shizzle here...









Dam Square - aaah, pretty.....





De Hortus - Brilliant, money well spent!!!!!!











Argentina Grill - Pukka mixed grilly type thing...... YUM









Albert Cuyp Market..... + Bazar Amsterdam - Lovely chicken wings & humous









Random eatery on Raadhuisstraat?? - random reading supplied free of charge






.......... Sorry, no smoke pics or prices,.... nor any recollection of state of mind,.... will definitely be taking a note book to record all important info in Aug.

Ahhh, I recall this place myself cos we went there playing pool and recall the toilet door not shutting properly as like in the first pic. I recall as we loved the pool in there and not noting the guy who went in the toilet coming out. 10 mins had passed before 1 of us knocked dieing for a piss only for the knock to open the door to an empty shitter!.

Dont think it's even a coffeeshop for sure but my memory recalls it probably being on Warmoesstraat?. Did it have a motorbike inside near the front on the left as you walk through the door by any chance?.

Also can anyone id the sign on the door you can see accross the street in the second pic as that might help?.

Yeah yeah, and you had to take the key from the counter for the toilets maybe? Me and the missus don't seem to remember a motorbike, I reckon we would remember that if there was one. Not too sure though.

I really think it was on Damstraat as I seem to think we left there and then got Falafel from just up the road?

If I had to venture I guess, I'ld go for de Kuil ( 420 Cafe ) back when they had a pool table.

Enjoy

Now I'm well confuzzled!!!! ...... I don't think we ventured around by 420. But you guys are the experts, and 420 is on my list to visit anyway.

@FlyByNight,.... Can you please add me to the Who's In Town pages please?.... 5-8th Aug. Nice one.

It's not 420, the pool table was gone in '08.

Peace,
Balou

Dont think it's on Damstraat either as the only coffeeshop I can think of there is Paradise?. Funny thing is like the op I know I've been there cos of the toilet door staying slightly open and the candles on the side where we sat with a coffee 1 night.

Now thats bugging me as I'd almost forgot about the place. Like I said possable it might not have been a coffeeshop. then again dont know why we would have gone in a bar and had a coffee.

did u have to go down some stairs to get into this place?

Cant speak for the op, but I'm fairly sure there was no step to go down to get in. There might have been a couple to go up?.

I think that second pic could hold a clue. I've tried to enhance it to get the detailing off the door over the road to try and work out what it says, but cant do it with that pic. If the op can up a bigger\original file of the pic somewhere is might be possable to enhance to work out what the place over the road is in the second pic.

It was all on 1 floor as far as I remember, no upstairs, no down.

I'll get on to that photo now pal,.... sorry, never thought to upload the un-sized original. 2mins.

Original - ....................

.... Don't think it'l be of much use though!

the key to this is recognising the desgin on the front door of the building opposite. you can see it outside the door. once we've worked that one out, we can find out what bar/c's is opposite that place.

just had a look on google maps, and street view doesnt exist for warmoerstraat which is annoying, as i reckon thats where it is too.
