Description

The new Willie Wortel HQ replacing the old Workshop at Raamsingel, which closed in May 2002.

It's a big space with a small entrance. The shop is upstairs and includes an outside roof patio area.

The main picture shows the terrace. Note the orange statue of liberty from the old shop now standing on the roof. The top picture is the entrance and below the big signs on the main road.

Sinsemilla is a definite 3 star shop for the weed, hash, and knowledge. But the day I visited; it lost two stars, one for the lousy tea in the dirty glass, and it's funny tasting coffee too.

A great place to relax and listen to excellent sounds, plenty of room and a good menu although again I was disappointed that the Dutch weed was not thoroughly flushed and tasted metallic. The black hash was quite good, but not over exciting.

Our first visit to this one. It's located a little out of the centrum across the big canal/river from the pedestrian shopping street. What a treat though. Spacious, with nice outdoor terrace decorated with Statue of Liberty and nice rose garden. Pool table, internet computers (2 Euro per half hour). Lots of comfy seating.

Possibly the best of the 3 Willy Wortel shops - and after my visit to the Indica I thought it would not be possible, but this place really has it all. Great terrace to sit out and enjoy the sun and a smoke, 2 large pool tables which only cost €1 a game, internet access, virtual jukebox, comfy seats all around, great decoration and lighting - and all this before I walked up to the dealers counter. I bought a gram of Shiva Ice for €23 and finally found something I could not smoke all day long (without collapsing that is!). One of the best highs I have ever got from any smoke was only topped by a very welcoming stay.

We heard about this place so took a trip to Haarlem one day to go. Be ready for the long walk (no trams) but its an easy and beautiful, very picturesque and worth it to see something untouched by tourism. The shop itself was very large with comfy airplane seats, pool tables, internet access and very weird bathroom stalls. We were obviously the only Americans in here (Haarlem is not a tourist section at all) and the customer service is poor (kinda rude). The weed was good, we had PowerPlant and Sage Haze. Overall an ok review. Only worth it to see Haarlem.

Really big shop with a nice terrace. They have 2 pooltables, a kicker and some PC's. Menu is pretty big and the prices are ok! I bought 2 grams of "Powder Sense" which was very resinous, taste and stone was ok.

The Williams Medieval Madness pinball machine is now retired, replaced by a brand new Stern Lord of the Rings.

Now firmly established in its new first floor home, it's easy to find this barn of a just-south-of-Centrum shop if you look out for the carrots at first floor level; it literally overlooks an Irish pub (which incidentally sells meals until 2230, should you be stuck for a meal in that part of town after 2130...). Note to the super-paranoid: the shop has an always-on webcam, which principally overlooks the table football and Internet area (check their website). The meat-freezer style plastic 'door' strips halfway up the stairs can be a bit troublesome if one is temporarily clumsy for any reason (!) but no doubt prevent the reek from reaching the street. Inside, this is undoubtedly the biggest shop we visited, with four Internet computers (coin-operated, yet!), large separate dealing counter diagonally opposite the door, drinks bar that wouldn't be out of place in a club, and large selection of paraphernalia for sale. Oh, and two pool tables, a Photoplay, and a William Medieval Madness pinball in excellent condition, owned and maintained by the same chap who owns the pinball at the Empire (q.v.). And a LARGE number of tables. More commercial feel somehow compared to the smaller shops, but still seemed busy despite its size. Good place to visit if you're a crowd, or just want to melt into the background.
