Re: Coffeeshops with Bongs currently

Yeah I think most do but the only one I remember for sure from my trip last year is Bagheera.

Re: Koningsplein webcam

And in other bad Amsterdam web-cam news, the guy who ran a great cam with sound right in the RLD passed away, and along with him the cam stream...from what little ai saw of him (he did several live streams of walking around town and venturing into coffeeshops) he was a real character, so sad news in...

Re: Koningsplein webcam

Unfortunately it's been taken down...which really is too bad. It was great! (There's a clip still up on YouTube bit it's just not the same...)

Re: RLD smoking ban

I suspect that the real impact this law is intended to have is the message it sends ahead of the full fledged "stay away" campaign...they put this out there and media outlets--many writers of which had no idea that public cannabis consumption was already forbidden--just pick it up and run ...

Re: Softland

Oh man I hope it's still open... Amsterdam Live did a live stream where he stopped in for a bit about 5 months ago... really made we want to stop in on my next visit! (https://youtu.be/FhLAeJFMql4 it's at about 1:26 if you're interested...)
Fingers crossed!

Re: The Plug (formerly Utopia)

Shame Rusland has become another Plug as that was a cool shop whenever I visited it, I personally do not like all these shops becoming one brand as prices can be controlled and are normally more expensive than other shops by a few euro etc and they all have the same type of feel inside them, not a ...

Re: Tourist ban (again)

So add Green Place picking up a location on Haarlemerstraat by taking over Amsterdamed as another coffeeshop that doesn't seem to be banking on a ban coming into effect anytime soon...I mean, right? I always go with the saying if you really want to know what's going on, follow the money--and so I'm ...

Re: Dog-friendly coffeeshops/bars?

I've only ever seen a dog in a coffeeshop once (that I remember), it was at Voyagers, although it was run by different owners at the time.

Re: Tourist ban (again)

To me the most distressing part is that even though there's no appetite for this in the city council, Halsema can impose it anyway upon deeming it "a necessity". Hopefully the shops can present a united front, along with the parties that oppose it, to make the move too politically risky fo...

Re: Christ are we doing this again? Tourist ban??

Bumping up my least favorite topic, but just wondering if there's anything new on this...There was a spate of scary-sounding headlines a few weeks back, but reading the articles made it clear that those publications were still running on older reporting. I kind of feel like when the mayor didn't sec...
