Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

The laws on coffeeshops are way too strict. Their purpose was to reduce the number of coffeeshops instead of making sure the customers are protected by laws... I can't change those laws but I don't have to like em either. So until things change you can hear "can I see everyones ID, do you have ID on you, I'm sorry we can't serve you without ID" whenever some new guys enter the shop... a houndred times each day. I mean come on, that's like hanging out at the foreign office or something.

Well maybe there was some kind of check, bars have been fined recently.

who knows, but you maybe interested to know club media is having a fresh lick of paint/renovation and there is a sign up stating membership only from 1st September...
i was just passing so don't know if this affects tourists..
