I wonder, were you always so dripping in sanctimony or only since you stopped smoking tobacco? I will say I agree that this is a habit best left behind but there's a touch of the sophomaniac about this post.Comus wrote: ↑Mon 7th Sep 2020 10:39 amif the yankie doodle dandies mixed tobacco with their ganja then there would be no states where ganja consumption is legal ... medically or recreationally
fuck tobacco .... it's shit pushed onto weak minded folks by multi-national multi billionaire scum suckers who don't give a fuck
but saying that, if the weak minded want to harm themselves then they should be free to do so, as long as they aren't harming those in close proximity
and before anybody starts to fell agreived by what i have posted then i'll just point out i used to be one of the weak minded too

Has this place been renovated during lockdown? Doesn't sound good...
It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate - it takes guts to be gentle and kind...
Re: Cafe Batavia 1920
It’s still the best place to chill at the weekend in Dam but the downstairs smoking room seems permanently closed. So it’s pure only in theory upstairs unless you go outside which if you like hash is a bit of a pain. Still good food and beer and in Dan terms good value

Re: Cafe Batavia 1920
Just to add I was here at the start of February 2023 and downstairs was closed. Smoking area is same level as bar but via a corridor at the back.
Signs up saying only weed no tobacco but a few of us were still doing it. Just don't make it obvious/leave tobacco out etc.
Tbf the ventilation was amazing as there must have been a dozen people blazing and the room didn't feel that smokey like other places do.
Friendly staff and locals. Would definitely recommend even as a solo traveler.

Re: Cafe Batavia 1920
I quite liked the upstairs smoke room. You still get the same view from the windows only a little higher. Also avoids those dodgy times when you're a bit worse for wear and trying to carry a tray of drinks down the stairs.matty223 wrote: ↑Fri 17th Feb 2023 12:03 amShame the downstairs is closedRaoul_Duke wrote: ↑Thu 16th Feb 2023 11:08 pm Just to add I was here at the start of February 2023 and downstairs was closed.

Re: Cafe Batavia 1920
Saw in the chat a couple weeks ago that this place had closed or was at the very least undergoing a major overhaul. Anyone seen/heard anything to that effect since?

Its been taken over and the staff told me on Sunday that they don't allow smoking inside or outside anymore.

Can confirm; smoking room is gone. A goddamn shame.
