Description

A cafe-coffeeshop. That is, one where alcohol is available alongside cannabis. It has simple cafe-style furniture and decor. The drinks bar is at the side and the bud counter at the back. The shop has a stoned dogs theme in the artwork and was playing the latest Chemical Brothers album quite loudly when we last visited. Ruth and I love the Chems so this was cool.

This place rocks! I went late one night, stumbling around town, found this place finally, and I was very glad that I did. A very clean place with an impressive menu that also serves alcohol. They had several Haze choices on the menu and after the friendly budtender's suggestion, I tried the "Super Pollen" Moroccan hash which was top notch, definitely check it out. The budtender was nice enough to show me the entire block of it, then he cut a nice chunk off right there in front of me. There is a nice bar to sit at, several tables and booths, some right in front looking out nice big windows to Warmoesstraat. They were playing some trance music on a very nice sound system. The weed counter is in the back by four internet terminals. The drink prices were very good, 4-5 euro for alcohol, and cheap bier prices. Very diverse crowd here, makes for a very nice ambiance, all the different languages being spoken etc. They also have good munchies, apple pie, nachos, etc. Great place to hang, give this place a visit!

The best I've found on the "strip". High quality smoke, good service and the perfect place to wait for your laundry to go around and around next door. If you are in the red light district head here.

They just remodelled it. I got what turned out to be my fav weed of the trip there. My buddy Chris from Rotterdam turned me on to it. It's called Lavender very sweet and kinda of purfumy. I also got some real good hash there for € 30 well worth the price. The Budtender was real nice even let me take some pics standing behind the counter. I put this one in the top ten prolly around 7 or 8.

Hunters Bar was the first bar I went to when I arrived in Amsterdam since it is one block from Centraal Station. I asked the seemingly Jamaican lady at the bar what I should do to get weed. She told me the dealer was with a client and pointed to a walk-in closet, but that I could be next. As it was early in the day, there was no one there. I waited for his client to walk out and then went in. I asked what he had and he offered me some Super-Skunk and took out a Tupperware container and opened it. The smell and look was overwhelming and I proceeded to buy 25 guilders worth. I went back into the bar, ordered a Guinness from the tap and sat down and rolled a big joint and smoked it by myself. I got so high, I didn't even want to go outside because I was so paranoid. Since they had the coldest Guinness I ever had, I started going there every morning at 8:00 a.m. for two cold Guinnesses and a joint for breakfast and to start my day. There are televisions in the air with MTV international playing. I highly recommend this bar for the first timer as it is not busy and the staff is very accommodating. Big, huge thumbs up for this place.

Not as visually pleasing as a lot of the other places I tried, however it was a chilled atmosphere, bar staff friendly and helpful dealer. Even though Holland were playing against the Portuguese at the time and he was clearly wanting to watch the game he still took time to chat and advise on the weed. Nice.

Cool vibe, relaxed. DJ spinning, not too loud, good beer. Did not buy grass. Decent prices.

Very chilled, very good vibes with a DJ too. All types of music played. Bloody good weed, Silver Lady, Buddha Sister (or something like that).

This bar is new but definitely worth putting on the menu. Situated just up the road from coffee shop 36, this coffee-shop/bar offers a diner-style theme, with comfortable seating, and a funky layout. The menu at the bar is astounding, many different spirits and beers for the alcohol drinker, lots of soft drinks and excellent coffee, light snacks and an awesome marijuana menu, this place offers both indoor and outdoor grown weed and a wide selection of dark and blonde hashish. We got 1g of Skunk II here and it served us well for the journey home. Internet access was available here and was more reliable than some of the other shops.

This place was located right next door to my hotel on Warmoesstraat. We checked into our room at The Old Quarter, dropped our bags, and went next door for our first indulgence of this trip. Amazingly I had never noticed it in all my previous haunts of that area. It's a past favorite of The Smokers' Guide crowd, and I wanted to see what it offered. This is a comfortable uncrowded place with good seating and street views, a full bar, and four or five coin-operated Internet stations (15 minutes=1 Euro). Friendly barmaid and dealer. Good prices on their draft beers. I had not yet purchased a bong, so I asked for a pure pre-rolled. The dealer recommended their 6 Euro joint from the menu (can't recall the name for certain, Techno Haze or Chronic Haze??), and he practically guaranteed our satisfaction. He even pulled out a whole container of it for me to eyeball and encouraged me to take a whiff. That sold me, and sure enough it turned out to be the strongest buzz of the trip. We went back to the room to freshen up from our journey, and my girlfriend said it felt like she was in an earthquake all the while she was taking her shower - potent stuff! We liked it so much that we made this our last stop and last smoke before hopping the train to the airport a week later. Strongly recommend this place and their gear.

My 4 friends and I liked the place and were very relaxed, I regularly go to Amsterdam and I can honestly say I enjoyed being in Hunters Bar. The weed was good and the staff were friendly apart from one night when there was loads of English in there pissed up and that's the only time the bar staff showed any resentment, but in my view Amsterdam is about the smoking not the drinking.

Seemed OK but we did not buy anything as the menu was quite limited to things that were cheaper in other shops.

The atmosphere was relaxed and they have regular DJ nights which is cool. You can have a beer or a wine and get some great weed. We thought it was fab.

A nice small shop, with a dark decor.
