One of my favorite coffeeshops that I visited in my 7 night stay in Amsterdam. The dealer/barista was friendly and sweet. Very warm and festive atmosphere.

A white, small shop. On a good day, the shop can probably hold a max seat number of 20 (counting the 4 seats outside). There is nothing special in this shop (gambling machines, fussball table or pool table); but it's just a nice little cosy shop, with a nice bartender, good prices for weed and it's not far from a school, so you have a lot of little Dutchies going by it. This coffeeshop is a nice place to sit down with a baggy of stach, and just look out the window, smoke up and enjoy the moment :) I wouldn't say this shop is a must, but if you're in south Amsterdam, you should come across it.

The service is fantastic, the bearded counter guy is one hot boy and the weed was excellent. Great atmosphere!

A gay coffeeshop just off the Leidsestraat, the best coffee in Amsterdam, was also able to get Purple Haze which I hadn't got anywhere else.

Another nice coffeeshop with a good atmosphere and great ambient music. The ginger guy working in there looked a bit like the singer from Queens Of The Stone Age, and he seemed really friendly and cool. Great selection of gear on the smoker's menu, and big windows for people watching! Bought some 'White Widow' in here (one of my personal favourites) and got me suitably smashed. The prices here were good too, I have to add. Great value, great staff, cool place!

Amsterdam's only gay coffeeshop - hetro friendly. The perfect pink joint can be found in this bright, modern, friendly place.

Gay friendly. Wanted some info on the chick only bars and picked up a bag of Purple Haise. Awful weed, but thanks for the info, found the bar!

My favourite coffeeshop in Amsterdam which I've been visiting for years ! The Otherside is the only named gay coffeeshop in Amsterdam, although it always has a really good mix of gay/straight, locals and tourists. It's quite small (approx 25 seats). Usually plays dance/techno sounds, the grass here is really good, especially the Superskunk (46€ for 9g).
