On our most recent visit they were playing UB40's "1 in 10" and "Sing Our Own Song".

They got a pretty cool area downstairs they only open sometimes or on demand. For me and my boys, the Double Reggae is an absolute must and highlight on each trip to Amsterdam. All in all: right next door to Jah!

A great place to knock back and expand! The staff was friendly and very helpful in choosing some special buds to take the sting off of the ejection from Ukraine. Nice menu at the time, enjoyable chunks of Red Bud and stinky wads of White Widow, good value, cold beer and of course the Marley, the nonstop reggae. Although the bar is a bit narrow (but hey, who in the hell can bitch about that, one is in Amsterdam, right?) the scene is laid back and plenty of room outside, if you can lean a chair back.

Myself and my brother visited Double Reggae yesterday the 13th of July at around 3pm, my brother had been suffering from chronic diarrhoea and spent some time formulating a large stool in the toilets at Double Reggae. When he came out of the toilet there he was barely able to walk or talk and had some difficulty sitting down. At this time the waiter from that bar who looks like a toss up between James Brown and Marvin Gaye with a bit of Apollo Creed thrown in for good measure came up to my bro and was seemingly accusing him of peddling cocaine in their area! This is outrageous we thought! We are only a couple of Irish boys on hols kicking back, he was pretty rude and abrupt and generally ruined an otherwise perfectly good afternoon. Walking around Amsterdam after feeling like a couple of Cuban drug lords did not help!

It's noticeable for one thing - the sign on the window - "Over 18 - And Don't Fuck Around" - unwelcoming though it may be, we had a smoke in here (didn't buy any) and the guys were really friendly - it looked a bit dark and dodgy but has loads to stare vacantly at and the drinks were reasonably priced.

Got stoned on the best White Widow ever and AK47 while looking at the mural of Bob and Jim coming out of the clouds at me ab fab.

A very tidy shop with some great weed on offer. Worth a visit.

I have visited Amsterdam quite a few times
and spent many happy hours in Double Reggae listening to Bob Marley.

Stumbled upon this place by chance. The last time I arrived Schipol it was at 7:00am. By the time I made it to my hotel it was only 7:30 and my room was not ready. I took the tram back from the Spui to Central Station looking for Barney's. Didn't find it right off but as I walked down the busy street parallel to Central Station a bight neon "reader" sign caught my attention proclaiming the hours of this place to be from 7:00am-1:00am...perfect.
It's a corner shop that does have a lot of space but again is used rather poorly. The large windows on the front are all done up in different images like Jim Morrison, Bob Marley and landscapes of Jamaica or tropical paradises. The place is narrow but long with the huge bar taking up most of the front left side of the shop and plenty of seating as well as bathrooms towards the back. The tables are pretty cheaply made and secured but the floor is real 2x6 wood planks! The bartender helps you out with the pre-packaged weed and hash from the rather extensive menu and gets you a drink to boot. I bought the K2 and was very happy.
They collect foreign currency (mostly American dollars) for some reason and tape them above the bar is some crazy scheme. One guy did it while I was in there.
