That's interesting--and I gotta say, pretty good reasons. I only ever went to that Rokerij once, early in the morning on the first day of one of my trips. It was maybe our 3rd stop (we got in early). We sat and smoked and watched the early morning bustle and declared that every trip would henceforth start there...and then they got shut down. But it was a brilliant place while it was there.

There,s still patio.s if your not in the middle of side walk ,roof top terrace and outside eating on there property,
Batavia was under gun for patio since the beginning ,church and historical society.
Must always remember Amsterdam is on UNESCO World Heritage list ,so they will always try and save the origanal look, Faust of the old buildings.

It does not fit historically ,and they have started cracking down on structures witch take half if not all the side walk. City,s changing boats to electric motors and always working towards a living city not a car city.

This week:

Read about that change on here and wanted to see what all the fuss is about.
So on arrival we immediately entered there while visiting the usual suspects in that area ; especially since due to location it's handy for the last session before boarding.

However, they don't have bongs and the place is average(Rokerij even though a boring chain used to have sort of unique setups at their shops at least) so we just left. Bummer because their patio would have been lovely considering the nice enough weather in recent days in town.

Yes easier to identify, even more on google maps just taping coffeshop :D

Barney's has his "uptown" this is the "coffeshop amsterdam" café.

That's quite cute in its way. By renaming Dampkring II 'Coffeeshop Amsterdam', they not only get found easily by those who google the words, but get to put the word 'coffeeshop' in the name of their non-coffeeshop bar/café.

Sorry for not responding i was away last 2 days,

the ig is @coffeshopamsterdamcafe



I like the couch we can see on the other picture but the downstairs tables aren't really great me thinks...
will still check it out anyway, the tables outside would be nice for a beer.

say its open 10 am to 1am for the moment and will be open later on weekends.

I don't think it actually said 'bar', because I remember thinking that it was supposed to be one, not a coffeeshop, and wondering whether to check it out. But I didn't.

I am also pretty sure that in the name was "Coffeeshop Amsterdam". Dampkring#2 is "Coffeeshop Amsterdam" now and maybe the name of the new bar is something like "Amsterdam Coffeeshop Bar" or they are a coffeeshop, too but I don´t think so.

No idea, but that's how I remember it as well. Though I didn't go in either.
