Rasta
Baby Prins
Hendrikkade 6-7 (624 74 03). Reggae coffeeshop near Central Station with jungle style interior and a glassed-in terrace, which true to style tends to overheat a little during summer. Rasta Baby serves alcohol. Open daily 9am-1am (2am weekends). |
Rusland Rusland
16 (627 94 68). A small split level coffeeshop, right in city centre but on a relatively quiet street, which opened in 1973 and at that time was one of the first of its kind. Besides the usual fare Rusland offers a selection of 40 different kind of teas and snacks. Music videos. Open daily 11am-12pm (1am weekends). Siberie Brouwersgracht
111 (623 59 09). Sixties sounds in a small Jordaan coffeeshop visited by locals as well as tourists, located on a really lovely quiet canal. Siberie's owners express an interest in arts & music, with for example exhibtions of local art, poetry nights and DJ's during the weekend. Friendly atmosphere. Open daily 11am-11pm (midnight weekends). Stones Warmoesstraat 91 (624 14 06). Not
a reference to the famous rock band but to the stone age, Stones is a coffeeshop
in the heart of the Red Light district with a distinct British feel to it.
A large room with two entrances, a bar in the middle, a pool table on either
side, and the English footy on a big screen. Packed with Brits of course.Open daily 9.30am-1am (3am weekends). La Tertulia Prinsengracht
312 (no phone). Small coffeeshop on a corner of beautiful Prinsengracht canal. La Tertulia is Spanish for a social get-together, and abundant flower and plants decorations definitely give this place a southern feel. Nice sidewalk terrace during summer, with a lovely view of the canal of course. Open 11am-7pm, closed Sun-Mon. Tweede Kamer Heisteeg
6 (422 22 36). A mellow little coffeeshop in a small street just off the Spuistraat, in popular Dutch 'brown' bar format; a bit smokey, a bit noisy and a bit cramped. Very popular with locals though. Good selection of imported weed. Open daily 10am-1am. Yo-Yo 2e
Jan van der Heijdenstraat 79(664 71 73). Spacious and airy coffeeshop near the Albert Cuyp daymarket, popular with locals. As it's a bit out of the center Yo-Yo tends to be a little cheaper than most other shops. Laid-back atmopshere. Live music on Sundays. Open daily noon-8pm. |
