Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory
10 Years 1998 to 2008
 Doody from USA. Sent 24 Jul 2008.Two years ago I tried to visit this shop, but they were busy remodeling it, so I am very happy to finally visit it now, and what a great coffeeshop it is! Located in a very picturesque part of town, right on the Reguliersgracht (canal), just south of the Rembrandtplein. It is also at the northern end of "7 Bridges," where there are seven bridges in a row you can see when looking down the canal. They have very limited terras seating, but if you are lucky enough to get a seat there isn't a much better smoker friendly, canal- side hang in town. As you walk in there is lighting made to look like stars above your head, cool effect, very effective lighting throughout, candles everywhere, other spot lights and hanging lamps. There is counter seating with stools here where you can sit and still have a glimpse of the canal. The wiet counter is half way in to the right. In the back is a lounge area with nice big padded seats and several tables. There are big, flat screen TV's with sports and music videos on them, they were playing James Brown, great vibe in the shop. The menu is the same as the other Barney's, amazing! I had the "G13 Haze" at 13.50e a gm, a little expensive, but well worth it, this stuff is a cannabis cup winner, and very very good. They also have a wide variety of pre-rolled joints available that are actually quite good, try the polm, and puur wiet. Overall a very relaxed and chilled environment, the wiet and hasj are amazing, and the location is very scenic, don't miss this place. Daytime seems less crowded. Jon from USA. Sent 21 Jan 2008.On my second visit to Amsterdam, I very much wanted to find a quite, small coffee shop - away from the cliché tourist coffee shops that I frequented on my first trip. Barney's Lounge has it all - high quality herb (Crimea Blue, and G-13 are must haves), pleasing atmosphere (two plasma TV's), and a friendly staff that is warm and receptive. They boost two Volcano Vaporizers (a little too worn out), and upon my request changed the bag and cleaned out the chamber. For any enthusiast looking to relax an make one shop their own - look no further. Matt from USA. Sent 16 Jan 2008.The walls are no longer red and the place has a more mellow feel. I did try the G13 Haze 14 euro and the Amnesia Haze 13 euro. I really liked the taste of the Amnesia. The Barney Rubble is now 44 euro a gram. No longer in powder/kief form, it's black and sticky. Very tasty and very strong. They had something on the menu for 65 euro a gram, I couldn't bring myself to try it! Zack from Canada. Sent 11 Aug 2007.Great little spot hidden amongst restaurants and souvenir shops below the Centruum. The budtender I had was very nice and accommodating. Glad I went during the evening though, when I got there the budtenders were changing shifts and the day guy seemed like a bit of a dick. Maybe he just needed to smoke a joint. The Willie Nelson is very potent but will knock you on your ass. The G-13 is the real deal as it got me buzzing for the entire day with absolutely no burnout. The Cheese was probably the best sativa I smoked, very strong though. Nice comfy seats in the back and always something good on the big screen. 8/10 Dave from UK. Sent 17 Jun 2007.I liked it here, bought some Honey B nice, sweet sativa bud. Quite modern with friendly bar staff, at the back there's couches and as you walk in it's like a walkway with long wooden benches at running down either side (for skinning up on), mirrors just above them, well lit and stools, defo go here again. Atxxim from Portugal. Sent 28 May 2007.Honey B - smooth nice weed, nice place, nice people. Jon and Shell from UK. Sent 10 Mar 2007.Fairly small place with friendly staff, always nice and airy. Good weed! Bubblegum: this had a really nice flavour and was quite a strong high, the smell was fantastic - a good smoke. NYC Diesel: very sweet smell, and a very warm and clear high, this weed had virtually no bad side effects and was really potent. Danny from UK. Sent 26 Sep 2006.This was my favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam, and suited my mates who were more into trendy bars than poky little coffeeshops. It was very quiet the two occasions we visited one on a Saturday night the other during the day. I still reckon it's a bit unknown which is a good thing. It's very modern and sleek interior has comfy seats and the dealer was really helpful and friendly. We tried the Volcano vapouriser with some Laughing Budda weed - OMG! We were all pissing ourselves all night - highly recommended! Jr. from USA. Sent 16 Sep 2006.Much less crowded than the other Barneys. Visited in April 2006 and dropped in many times. Was closest to the houseboat we were staying on. They have some great hash. I bought some Caramello Cream that was awesome. My brother bought some Barney Rubble for I think 40E. It was great but very expensive.  Enrico from Germany. Sent 26 May 2006.It's closed, re-opening at July 2006. Henry from USA. Sent 26 Apr 2006.The fellow behind the bar couldn't have been nicer, the atmosphere was mellow and calming, the music was perfect and the art on the walls terrific. Matt from USA. Visited Feb 06. Sent 15 Mar 2006.Same grass menu as the Breakfast Bar. On a quiet side street, not far from Rembrandtsplein. It's only been a few months since they opened, and not too many people seem to know about it, yet. Red walls (!), and techno music at a reasonable volume. I did not notice any food, just drinks. They have a Volcano. Maybe six tables, and a few stools, not a large place. It wasn't crowded the few times I was there, so I don't know if people share tables like they do at the Breakfast Bar, certainly a different vibe, and a pleasant place to stay out of the rain. They did not have many of the Cup winner's grass, so I focused on the hash. The Nepal Temple Ball (€10/g) and Mazar I Shrief (€14/g) ("Direct from the Taliban" the dealer assured me!) were great. Both were soft, and I could make snakes and roll them in joints. The Mazar would bubble when flame got near it. I also tried the Barney Rubble (€40/g). I only bought €10 worth. Took two hits and didn't move for a long time, outstanding! Terry from UK. Sent 28 Feb 2006.They have the same smoke menu as the other Barney's but they serve no hot food, bought the Love Potion #1, top smoke Willie Nelson ok but not the best. Nice relaxed shop not too busy either got the big table with the comfy cushions everytime we visited. Enrico from Germany. Sent 8 Jan 2006.This is a good alternative place to chill to the original Barneys. Lisa and Sam from UK. Visited 30/12/04 - 03/01/05. Sent 4 Jan 2005.[about Jamaica] Quite small and almost intimidating at first as was quite full! Got to the bar and just decided to get two pre-rolled from the Rasta behind the bar. Very happy spliffs and good Bob Marley being played very happy jet chilled went back a few times for quick pre-rolls but did not buy hash there. Dano from Ireland. Sent 8 Mar 2004.[about Jamaica] Selling neat dollar sized Moroccan in round plastic containers, stylish and strong. They were also friendly and cool.
