I can only tell you how it was in May.
Anyone who's been before will know that it was a spacious shop. However on my last visit only the front section of the store was open, selling weed and drinks. they has a few chairs out front but mainly it was closed for refurbishment with takeaway weed being sold. You were welcome to smoke a J out front, but had to roll inside

Christ! I can't believe it, I completely forgot it had another section. When I went there after moving here a month ago I thought to myself that I remembered it looking it different, I hadn't been there in 6 months or so but just thought I must have got mixed up.
moronic.
That back section has been closed for a good while now, hurry up!

Amnesia disappears up its own arse
It has re-opened now so i'm sure you are all wondering what has been done to it. I was hoping that there would have been somewhere to smoke tobacco but there isn't, it is just simply a refurb.
Anyone been in Barney's Uptown? Amnesia now looks exactly like that inside. Slick, trendy, black chic - which seems to be all the rage. It does look nice and everything but the whole look is a bit generic really, its so in fashion so it is a shame that there was no imagination put into it really. The best places look a little different- look at Dampkring or even somewhere like Route 99 both have great decor. Amnesia looks like a cafe bar now and is trying to look classy- i.e. Amnesia is up its own arse.
Don't get me wrong I have always liked the place, it was even my favourite place but I can't say that now. It is a great place to hang out BUT...
-For all intents and purposes Amnesia is now a Barney's. It goes under a different name and the menu differs slightly but trust me, it is a Barney's at heart. By this I mean that although it is a nice place to hang out it is pretty commercial, also despite the fact that their weed is high quality, they do have some nice smokes- the entire menu is over-priced, very much so. For the last few weeks I have been sticking to dampkring to save money which really made their prices stand out when I went to Amnesia last night- drinks n cakes etc are very fair prices, weed is over priced and I won't buy from here anymore.
They have a coupla new strains. I bought some Chocolope Haze after being cajoled by the budtender slightly. It is very, very nice to smoke- nice taste, texture and pretty nice effects- good weed. 14 euros a gram though and my original plan had been to buy 2 grams of whit russian from Dampkring which would've been a killer deal for about 15 euros for weed I really liked- should've stuck with that really because buying weed at Amnesia will clear me out and fast! The deal really didn't seem great - as I said nice weed but simply over priced.
They have the tobacco substitute in bowls (same stuff as Barneys). Gotta say I think the staff are great and very friendly, quality weed and good menu of reasonably priced drinks and it also a great hang out BUT it is kinda turning into a Barney's, the decor is nice but a bit too generic and up its own arse for me. I don't think I will be in there too much any more which is a shame, it has always been my favourite place but I can't afford it to be anymore.

Kind of a shame as the decor was one thing that I used to attract me to the old Amnesia (certainly wasn't the cheapness of the weed!). But I will refer judgment until I have seen the place myself since the change. Please tell me that they still sell the milkshakes.....!
Appreciate the update anyway. Nice one.
