Friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere. A good English feel. Easy to find - right in the heart of the red light district. It was quiet when we went in there and the second visit there were more people in there. My husband and I felt relaxed in there. We would definitely go back there.

As an Englishman it's how you'd like your local pub to be - there's a pool table, they show the footie and you can enjoy a spliff of your favourite tipple with a glass of your favourite tipple - perfick! Sat in here for an entire Sunday afternoon with 7 of my mates, watching the footie and having a great time. Highly recommended if you want to drink and smoke in a lively atmosphere.

Spent a wonderful night there on a quiet Wednesday night around the area u can smoke in there and the staff and one or two of the regular customers are wonderful. Buy a pre- rolled, light up, have a drink and enjoy, I did. The barmaid was most friendliest of all I met.

Our 1st impressions on walking into this place was "let's not stay too long", but we were so wrong about this place. Female staff behind the bar was very polite and friendly. Even though this place does not have a license to sell weed they are more than happy for you to smoke your own gear in there as long as you purchase a drink, lots of seating, long bar serving beer, pool table in entrance and popular with Brits. Would definitely return on our next visit

Last year, after an early morning flight, an afternoon boozing and no food (here's a salutary lesson for us all) I took a whitey in Stone's Cafe upon lighting up my first spliff of the day. I'm a twenty stone fat bastard with a shaved head and look like something recently released from the Scrubs (that's prison to the rest of you). The staff were great. They picked me up (no mean feat) got me outside into the fresh air and handed me a glass of hot sweet tea. In 30 secs I'd revived (very embarrassed). No hassle, no barred from the cafe, no reproaching looks at the idiot tourist. Can't praise their professionalism enough. Nice people looking after an oaf who should have known better.

Wow wow wow. This place is amazingly chilled, funky, has fab music that makes you feel all warm & fuzzy. Decor is superb, seating is ultra comfy. Drinks are lush & the gear is wicked. We brought some Orange Bud as it was our last day & so we were smoking what was left & decided to add some orange bud to our day. Oh my god. Hours & hours later I landed in London, got home, had a shower & was still stoned! I cannot sing enough praises for this place. As a group of short Asian girls we usually get the "oh here we go again & what the?!" looks when we walk in somewhere as people often assume that we're giggling teenagers (though we're late 20's & have been going to The Dam every year as a ritual for a while). We had been into a few places & got quite a shitty attitude from the people & staff. 3 of us girlies went in here & the staff here (especially the pretty lady with big hoop earrings) came over & joined us, taught us a few swear words that she thought we should know, brought our hot chocolates over, gave us biscuits, extra cushions & made us feel so so at home. 3 hours later we were still sitting there & just didn't want to move anywhere else. I swear if it hadn't been for the fact that we had a flight to catch home, we'd still be sitting there. People in here joined in our conversations & jokes, everyone in this place had grins on their faces as standard. The lady here & Stones gave us the best coffee shop experience ever. It was our last day & as we happily got through our last tokies. Stones just topped off a perfect break in Amsterdam.

Hung here mostly for the air conditioning (only place around w/ it) and cold bier on hot, muggy, afternoons. They did let us smoke our own stash though, and that was nice as they only sold two grams or more at a time, guess they have recently lost their weed licence though? They have big screens w/ football and rugby prevailing, and they play rock or trance music. Nice bar, good bier and alcohol selection, friendly wait staff, free papers and tips on the counter. It is styled like a British pub, lots of wood inside, central bar and nice window seats, darts in the back, clean bathrooms. Fairly large place compared to others, relaxing and cool on those long, humid afternoons. (2-1/2 stars)

What a great atmosphere, great looking bar staff too! It's a shame they don't currently have a license to sell weed, but this did remove the guilt about rolling your own in there. We came here primarily to catch up with the football scores but ended up staying about 4 hours. The tall bald guy was hilarious and really added to a already great vibe. It was easily big enough to accommodate all 8 of our party.... when we eventually got it together to meet up. They sold bottled beers too which made a nice change from all the draught around.

This place rocks unfortunately they have lost their licence to deal (the manager is confident they'll get it back soon) but you can still smoke there whilst enjoying a beer and letching over the bar maids.

Good smoke, good beer, good atmosphere, most bodayshus babe behind the bar, good music. Free papers/tips on the bar.

Some of the sexiest and friendliest barmaids in Amsterdam. I have only bought white widow here which was very good and very mellow. One word of caution they quote prices in grammes but minimum sale is 11/2gm. The place is a great hangout serve nice beer and play mellow tunes and stay open late the toilets are clean and free which is always useful to know.
