any resturant by the lakes overthere is good, they have lovely food and it is a nice place to visit, but cold and rainy as usual.
Why would you bother to come to Amsterdam just to chill out in a coffee shop?
Stay home and some your own stash, it is as legal and much cheaper.
(Hash, weed or whatever you want to call it is also illegal in the Netherlands.)
If you take the effort to come to Amsterdam, explore the town, do touristy things and do things that are not available at home.
A good site with info about Amsterdam is:
Yes, they do also give info about drugs, but explore the site as it has much more, just like Amsterdam itself.
I honestly doubt you`d find a place that would welcome 8 British footie fans.
Sadly, groups of Brits have a bad name in and around Amsterdam.
Stag parties gone wrong, hooligans trashing the place – sorry mate – but others have ruined it for you.
You could get lucky, but i estimate you have about a 5% chance.
You would want a coffee shop that caters for Brits, the Bulldog should do you. But why do you want to sit in a coffee shop for 6 days watching footie? You could do that just as easily at home with your pals, just get in a couple of crates of Heineken, an ounce of spliff and a plasma TV and you are well away. I just do not understand some Brits, why do they go abroad and do the same things they could do just as easily at home? Strange.
John D, its your trip. And one paid for by you. I guess its your right to do any darn thing you want to do. And that includes watching footie in a coffee shop. And smoking up a storm.
Although I have never seen a CS have any sports on the TV.
What you want is a sports bar I think. There is one next to the main Bulldog on the Lidesplien Or Coco’s Outback, a food place, on the Rembrandtplien. Now you may or may not be able to smoke in these places. The rules have changed. What was OK a year ago may not be OK today.
And please they still allow Brits in most places. A loud, drunk, roudy group may get shown the door. But I have never seen any Brits being turned away from any place just for being Brits.
Good Luck and Enjoy
Good weed. Good place. Some sport on TV’s.
Try some respect for a change !
Edit : Cybercommie. Well said !!
They just do not get it ! Pub mentality on weed.
Brits will be the death of the coffeeshops.
Just look at what the mayor is proposing and has blamed them due to drunkeness every weekend like they do in UK. Its all they know !
Amsterdam is sick of it.
We would just rather you didnt. Go somewhere else.
Revolting scenes with you guys every time. Keep away !
