Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

.... On a side note, my wife has serious back problems and sometimes sitting at The Doors on Singel is the best thing for you. It takes a minute to get adjusted to the straight up posture of the stadium like seating wood benches.

They have picnic benches outfront also. They have a 3 person couch like seating thing if I remember correctlyin the corner in front of the window which actually is not to bad and bar seats. Not a bad shop overall.

Big comfy chairs around the tables in Spirit

Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate it.

Will you be in Amsterdam in April?

My words about you are true Dra! You are the man buddy.

We had a place booked for may 2nd thru 17th and my our 11 year old english bulldog is getting a bit looney.
We are not sure if she is going to make it till then but if she does we would not feel good about leaving here for a couple weeks on her own.

... Post poned for now until she passes, surely then we will make an impromptu trip. I will be looking forward to your videos and posts surely to ease the pain ;p

In Order of my personal Best Seats.

Paradox: Seats right under this Artwork.



Club Media: Seats right in front of the chair massage machine.



Voyagers: Seats in front window over looking canal and street.



420: Stools along front window overlooking De Kroon and the Sweet shop across the alley.



1e Hulp: Upstairs in back corner just a very comfy couch to lounge and toke up on.

Some great shots their Dan! Cool pics too. I have enjoyed every one of those views for myself.

I was just thinking back...

I always liked the seats at the now long gone T-Boat, a real coffeeshop ON A BOAT, which was located on Oude Schans. I remember sitting in the booth and watching the ducks swimming right outside the window.

Was there ever an ACD page for this shop?

Here's a look at the all but forgotten T-Boat from March of 1999 during my second visit to Amsterdam. We chanced upon the T-Boat while out on a walking tour along the scenic Binnenkant when we eventually took the turn down Oude Schans. We were ready to sit down and have a cold drink and a smoke when Finatic spotted the T-Boat and directed us on board.

This video was a spur of the moment presentation and was completely off-the-cuff and unrehearsed:



The last time I was in Amsterdam and looking at post cards, I saw that there were still cards available featuring pictures of the T-Boat.

Yes, that's me in the video...

DRA

Nice DRA! I like the cat in the background.

Wish that place was still around, sounds awesome...

Excellent reporting as always, thanks for taking the time to share man.

Great post BDH been in all of those seats except 1ehulp. Usually sit in the front. Like the light, the view and chatting to the BT/owner. The seats really are nice.
