Kooi (formerly Old Amsterdam)

I see that on the menu they have this 115euro deal i wonder if they would sell ya the 12gs for 115 like marked http://coffeeshopmenus.org/Old%20Amster ... erdam.html

I think they will say no, the price is 115e for 3 grams of ice at bottom f menu....likely a spread sheet with a formula that defaults all entries in that column,,,or maybe they dont give a fuck since they may be closing soon and are just selling ss much as they want

[Kermit]

Na, its for groups, like hsb in the market, imo

And if no one is looking just like most places, they will

[Adamster]

I loved Andy's Life Report - the passage below has stuck with me.

I got off at Hobbemastraat again and did the reverse walk to home, picking up another pre-rolled and a lighter, so I could smoke the rest of that earlier joint. I did this and cheered up remarkably on my way home. I was just starting to feel good about the day again, so I sat on my window silll and sparked the other pre-rolled gazing out on my canal - the Oudenzijdsvoorburgwal, the first canal in the red light district.

As I sat smoking a spliff, a busker playing a saxaphone struck up a beautiful soft melody, the noise crescendoing, then dying off so softly. Part of the way the way through a man came out of the pub, and started singing randomly, making up words to a song as he got his mobility scooter ready. He had a beautiful bluesy soulful voice, and it was a beautiful way to spend the evening. As he drove off, his voice trailing into the distance, leaving only the saxophone playing, I realised something...

This is why I came to live in Amsterdam.

Every time I visit Dam I always manage to witness something truly memorable and special. Maybe its the Nevilles Haze that makes the mundane seem wonderful - but I like to think that its just Amsterdam and (of course) the talented posters and travelogue'ers on here who keep reminding us.

I miss loads of the original members - Blueberryams ("hi this is Blueberry reporting from Amsterdam" videos), Islandgurl (she introduced me to NYCD @ de Kuil), Boner (for everything but especially for telling us about de klos ribs and t'nes) and the guy that ignited my interest in alls things coffeeshop - oldhippie dave (google his crazy videos). Where are they now?

Blueberry is on Facebook, doing much the same.

I've seen IG on channels

Went in here for a buy n fly on Saturday night, served by a freindly old man who informed me there was no red deisel left so plumped for the blueberry which was really really good

Went back at 11.45am on Monday to see if there was some RD and was told I could only buy to take away as she was closing ????
We left without making a purchase

Glad to hear it’s still in business – the opening hours even in the good old days were to say the very least erratic. A shop I would always use to make a 5g purchase, quality was always consistent and prices fair and often negotiable at quantity. Good place to chill when Marco was on shift, the girl was always a bit offish at least to me. They often had some specials under the counter for regulars.
BTW still in contact with SR, he is back in the UK now when we wrote on FB a few weeks ago, tried to convince him to go the CC but he could not make this time.

I was 2 times here in the past... never bought something
because the bud tender (a woman) was so unfriendly... both times...

Furthermore everything i wanted to buy from the menu was not in stock

Spent the whole evening here getting baked and watching out window.
Had the amnesia which was really strong and fresh.no fresh coffee
