The huge sign outside means you can't miss 36. Inside is a long, narrow, place similar to the nearby Hill Street Blues. There is a long, woody, bar and the ceiling is decorated with stars lit by UV. At the back is a chill out area with a good view over the Damrak. The plastic-covered, padded, seats are quite comfortable, if a little slippery. Nice pictures on the walls covering themes from Easy Rider to Hindu and Buddhist images. Average prices for this part of town and cool music. |

Spent a great afternoon sat in the back by the windows overlooking the lake by the Damrak, bought a bag of Edelweiss and sank into the chair, the staff were polite and the service was good. Returned a couple of days later and sampled the isolator, the dealer guy watched us and shook his head as we put the whole lot into 2 joints (apparently it's supposed to be too strong to do that). This is a coffeeshop we will return to during future visits and hopefully the seats at the back will be unoccupied. This shop is a must for anyone who enjoys a good smoke in nice surroundings.

Visited 1 time for a Space Brownie and Pepsi. Nice place with friendly people.

Nice friendly place - it was my first stop after getting off the plane and settled into my hotel, so I was happy to find some nice weed, Bubblegum and Northern Lights, I think, and somewhere to sit and skin up. I'd been past this place many, many times and never went in, favouring the "connoisseur" places more, but it turned out to be a very pleasant oasis on this very busy street.

For my wife and I this was our favourite coffee shop 3 years ago, and we were looking forward to visiting again. Once again it was right up there with the best. Lost my wallet in there last time, went in and the guy had locked it away behind the weed booth (can't fault that for honesty). This time we found the staff on hand over changing shift, so didn't get a drink! But weed guy was friendly, bought some Apple Jack for 7.5 euros which was my favourite of all the weed I smoked, good music, plenty of seating which is comfy, view of the canal also at the back. Definitely in my wife and I top three coffee shops!

Very friendly dealer in the back, with a nice view of the Damrak. We went here right after getting off the plane from Boston and checking into the hotel. It was surreal at the time and we were so tired, but the adrenalin was kicking in. The Techno music helped get me feeling excited.

This place is in my top three. Friendly staff, cool views, good music (a little on the loud side, though) and absolutely the best Bubblegum weed ever. I mean, really, it was so sweet tasting, and such an incredible uplifting high. This place, and the Bubblegum in particular, are highly recommended.

Great times passed in this coffeeshop, that August week in 2004, it became our usual "hole", even because we always found seats near the "wonderful-view" windows, in every hour of the day. Inside the 36 is a very nice, little place, with a good pool table, good sound, good weed. But the best thing is the hash, best Ice-o-lator we ever bought in Ams.

We asked for 1g of Jack Herer and the dealer weighed it out on an electronic scales and gave it to us along with free papers and roach, and we were lucky enough to get the great seat at the back of the shop over-looking the Damrak. Good times.

Seemed to be very crowded and struggled to get a seat, Good old skool pin ball machine which is very addictive as you walk in.

This was my first experience of a coffee shop in Amsterdam and I have to say it was one of the best shops in the city. My smokin bud has been going to 36 for years and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The 1g of Jack Herer that got rolled into about four joints was a most welcome smoke after 3 hours without. We followed with 2g of crystal skunk and I enjoyed the chilled out tunes and the view across Damrak. Returned to 36, 6 or 7 times during a two day break and out of all visited it had the most chilled out and un-tacky feel.

Update of my previous review. Since I was staying on Warmoesstraat very close to this place, I wanted to see if the Bubblegum Polm was still as good as I remembered. It wasn't. It was hard and dry and had no noticeable effect. Sorry. I still like the place itself, and they probably have better gear that they can steer you to, if you ask.

Due to the music, atmosphere and comfortable seats at the back with a view
of the canal this is one of my favourite hang-outs. The music is great but
do expect the Dutch Trance/Techno or funky house!! It's one of the few
places I can smoke listening to the latest uplifting dance and everything
else to come with it is spot on! Good weed, average prices, friendly people
and well worth a visit.

Excellent ...our 1st time to the 'Dam, this was the 1st shop me, the wife, and my mate visited, the staff was really friendly and helpful, we tried the space shake, as we were all thirsty, then tried some recommended mild smoke, had a walk to get the wife off a white one, went back there quite a few times over our 3 day stay. Going again soon and 36 will be first on the menu.... if it was up to me I'd stay in there all weekend very helpful and friendly for new triers like my wife, she loves the cake washed down with some space tea...

My wife and I encountered the Coffeehouse 36 mostly due to its large outdoor sign. We had seen other coffeeshops along the Warmoestraat -- and being from Boston, you'd think I'd like to try the Hill Street Blues -- but we decided upon the C/S 36.
The dark wood panelling appealed to us instantly and the bench by the window has always been free to sit at whenever we're there. This is good, because true pot connoisseurs don't like it too light!
We both agree that the coffee is pretty good and they always serve it with a graham cracker biscuit, and as for the marijuana -- I've smoked both their "hasj" and "Thai" pre-rolled joints. The hasj has a real kick. By the time I'd smoked only half the joint, I was plastered to my seat! But then, Amsterdam has probably the strongest stuff to be found anywhere in the world. The staff is tolerant and the man behind the hash bar very knowledgeable.
We have had nothing but good experiences at the C/S 36 and it has become "our" place to visit and relax at whenever the two of us are in Amsterdam.

One of my all-time favourites, nice staff, top-notch smoke (Crystal Skunk & J. Herrer a must). Would be better if the music was a bit more chilled but you can't have everything.

This was my favourite coffeeshop as it was really friendly and right near to where we were staying. Nice selection of grass and hash on the menu along with great comfortable seats and a pool table. Great view from the window and friendly staff. Definitely a great place to visit!

For famous space cakes, prefer the "coffeeshop 36", at a few meters from Kabul Hotel, ( Warmoesstraat 36) and try the " bonbon" : not very strong but very very good !
Mark from USA. Sent 28 Jan 2003.
I really like this place, the atmosphere is good, you can sit down right next to the canal and watch the boats go by, the staff was nice, had to wait for the pulpit guy to come back, 5 min, so I chatted with the waitress who told me about the
muffins they sell, herbal muffins packed with good stuff, cakes cookies too.
When the guy returned ordered 2g white widow for think 14 euro, it was just great, nothing hits the spot on a cold winters day like a cup, and white widow.

This place hardly gets any press. Nothing fancy, but lots of room, and several distinct sitting areas. If they sold beer, I'd much rather spend my time in here than at any of the big-name sardine cans. Very friendly staff. I had read a glowing review of their Bubblegum Polm in The Smoker's Guide. I bought one gram for 16 guilders, but I guess the guy would have sold me whatever amount I had asked for. I'd put that Bubblegum Polm in the must try and best buy categories.
