Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

I'll be in Amsterdam for a week in a few days, havent been for about 6 years. Still read this forum often. Just wondering if there are any decent shops round the leidseplein area where I can pick up a decent value glass bong? I dont intend to bring it home with me but something i can use in my apart...

I certainly headed up to 137 after an hour in Paradox on the last day but ended up stopping along the way for a bite to eat and then forgot where we were heading when we came out after lunch, ended up walking back the way came and we were back at Paradox before we realised. Typical me though, follow...

Just getting over the worst of the 'leaving Amsterdam' blues after arriving home yesterday after 5 brilliant days in the city. Decided, what with all that is going on, that the wife and I would treat the trip as our last which meant sticking to our fave places to smoke and generally just chilling ou...

Good answer that - you won't need many more I'll just reiterate what was said about the guidebook, the cool guide is an exceptional book written by someone that loves Amsterdam as much as us lot, not some suit from Lonely Planet. I didnt have this book for my 1st trip, but I did for my 2nd, and the ...

Can't wait to revisit this place later this week. Only been in the once didn't get much of a feel for it as it was extremely busy and I was on my guard a bit as it was only my first trip I think.

Definitely worth a re-look I think, on the way to Papillon from the apartment

Anyone else have any experience with this place?

Looks a bit tacky, but the food menu isn't too bad from what I've seen. Might be an ok place to go for a burger and a smoke.... if that's allowed of course...?

Anyone been recently?

Those coffees look impressive - but something about those empty ones make me feel a little queasy... I dunno what it is, prob just me

I think the importance lies in ensuring you appreciate your next trip more than your last. What did you learn on your last trip? What new things can you do on your next. If all you're doing is going to sit and smoke weed and not 'appreciate' being in Amsterdam - then there's really no help for you

10-15?? I'm racking my brains trying to think of somewhere even when empty.... Man.... those places are small? When are you going? If the weather is ok maybe you can find a quiet corner of the vondelpark??? :) Otherwise, you could try Rookies... possibly Rokerij off Leidsestraat, and dare I say it, ...

they do indeed taste better than they look in those pictures, the one bottom left looks like a charcoal briquette on an oversized, extremely dry bread roll

3 days!!!!

Well from my experience the more local orientated bars are nothing near the prices of the centrums more expensive rip off bars but Amsterdam isn't an especially cheap place and it also depends what your drinking. High end Belgian beers aren't gonna be the same price as a vaajse of Brand or Amstel, b...

I dont get the point in going to amsterdam..just to buy beer i didnt drink a drop on my trip..dont like alcohol to be honest cant beat the good old coffeeshops Yep, same here, but everyones different eh. Some people like a beer with their joint, some don't. Some people go on stag do's just to get l...

Talking to a mate of mine last night and he was saying he went on his brothers stag do in Amsterdam last September and they were paying €8.50 for a bottle of Magners in the RLD - that's plain wrong - but if people are paying it....

Where you're staying the best place to smoke is paradox in my humble opinion. Good weed, good drinks and they some nice food too. It's very laid back though, not built to accommodate large groups but in no way are large groups unwelcome, the staff are extremely friendly. If you catch it in a busy da...
