We regret to inform you,
The mayor of Amsterdam Mr. van der Laan decided today that Abraxas should close its doors for an indefinite period of time from Tuesday 17th of February 2015 at 13:00hrs.
We will keep you informed on the current status of Abraxas.
went in once, asked if they had upstairs seating, they said no and I never returned. Too small IMHO.
Any shop closing is a sad day. Sounds like I missed out on a good one.
RIP
Due to a not so clever employee bringing in coke + mdma apparently.
By order of Mayor Van der Laan Tuesday coffeeshop Abraxas to Young Roelensteeg closed indefinitely.
During a routine inspection was a commercial quantity of hard drugs (cocaine and MDMA) was found in the coffee shop. "Hard drugs in public establishments has a very disruptive character," says the municipality. "Moreover, it is found at a coffee shop. Separation of hard and soft drugs is a core idea of the coffee shop policy. This dividing line is strictly and therefore any violation thereof is sanctioned. "
The property would be closed yesterday at the beginning of the afternoon, but the operator had applied for a preliminary injunction. This is later in the day rejected by the judge. Then proceeded to closure.
"Bland"
The floor manager of the coffee shop tells AT5 that the drug was found in an employee who worked there briefly, who stated that the drug was of herself. She was fired immediately. "It's really quite faint. They say that my staff should screen better, but I did and I can not search my staff. The case is made for about 25 years and there's never been such an incident. "
In about two weeks, come under the floor manager talks with the municipality which will be discussed if and when the case may open again.

Didnt like that shop , shitty spacecakes and unfriendly staff.
But BOY would I be PISSED at that employee, if I was the manager. CS licenses are near priceless.
I highly doubt, they will be allowed to reopen. I think they will use this case as an example.
FFS, how stupid can one person be? Especially a coffeeshop worker who should know better!
Fingers crossed they're allowed to re-open, but it's not likely after this
That's definitely a better reason than "we just realized there was a school gym nearby. You gotta close tomorrow. Kthnxbye." That really sucks, though. What a stupid, stupid employee. I have to wonder though; how did the cops find it? Do they usually pat down CS workers during an inspection?
Abraxas to close today
