Barney’s Coffeeshop

Friendly staff, nice service and good recommendations!

barney’s is what’s up. they have vapes in the main coffee shop, they have beer next door, and they have a full menu and an almost tarantino vibe across the street. also– a purple dinosaur owns it.

Great bud, crazy expensive prices, medium service. Part of the problem is that it is always busy, and the staff aren’t very friendly on the account of all the tourists that come in here who seem to be busy with everything else, other than buying the product. This causes an agitated atmosphere, but its a great place if you want to score some prime bud!

MAKE SURE YOU BRING ID
— My favorite coffeshop experience
— You can purchase pre-​mades and smoke next door
— Their low grade is better than some of the other coffee shop regular grade
— Cookie kush is the best (as was recommeneded by a ‘professional smoker’)
— Staff makes great suggestions
— They will run out, if you get there too late

I have had much better experiences on past trips to Barney’s.
I was on a «treasure hunt» to get samples of the 3 top winners of the 2014 Cannabis Cup.
This was the only disappointment.
They were running low on Cookies Kush so the buds were small and not impressive.
As far as potency, I would not have judged this strain to be worth the trouble.
Pretty mediocre gear.

Best place in the city period. The downside is that it’s small and like a dungeon, so I rarely hang out here, but you do need to stop in to stock up and go hang out in a park, on the canal, or at the Barney’s seed shop next door where you can enjoy your purchases.

Barney’s ist eine Art kleine Kette hier in Amsterdam, die Läden sind alle immer sehr schön ausgestattet und auch gemütlich. Hier wird Wert auf Qualität gelegt und auf eine Gute und freundliche Beratung. Die Preise sind etwas gehobener aber dafür ist hier der Service sehr gut!

Amazing place. Small but comfortable and chilly. Stuff is really good and also you can find the winner of the CC 2014. Team very kind and friendly. Ready to answer to all your question. Really impressive about it compared to the standard in Amsterdam. You can find vaporisers on any table. Definitely one of the best coffe shop in Amsterdam and I’ll surely come back.

Good menu but very unfriendly customer service. Didn’t even offer to help even once and made snarky comments about how «amateur» we were

Staff was very helpful. When I asked for a strong Indica, I was given Vanilla Kush, which was top shelf. I went across the street to Barney’s Uptown to smoke and have a beer. Very enjoyable atmosphere, and the best stuff in town.

As a first time smoker with limited expectations and know-​how, I was apprehensive when I first entered the coffeeshop, around suppertime on a weeknight. In my prior research, several websites had recommended Barney’s and we couldn’t have picked a better first time place. I explained to the dealer that I had never smoked before and had no idea what to get or what I was doing. Not only did he help me make my selection based on the kind of experience I wanted («happy and high» vs. «relaxed»), he also came to our table and gave us detailed instructions and tips. He put us completely at ease, in a completely non-​judgmental way, and we were excited to return a second time on our week-​long trip to Amsterdam. As far as the atmosphere goes, it’s pretty small, so even when not many people are there it can feel crowded; otherwise, it feels very intimate. The location is great – maybe a ten minute walk from the Centraal/​Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal area and the Prinsengracht in the other direction. I don’t have a comparison for prices among cannabis products in the Netherlands, but theirs struck me as reasonable, just based on the costs at bars for alcoholic beverages. They had a good selection of non-​alcoholic beverages and appetizers to enjoy while smoking, and each table had a small monitor playing just the kind of movie you can get wrapped up in when you’re stoned (e.g. think Charlie Chaplin or Harold & Kumar). Staff was very friendly. Our one regret is not trying the vaporizers. They seemed advanced, when in fact they probably would have been less corrosive-​feeling on our lungs than smoking. Barney’s has one at each table and they will explain how to use them if you need that. I highly recommend Barney’s, especially if you’re a first-​timer.

Used to come here before they put a vaporizer on every table and attracted the worst tourists of all, crowding the place and driving the prices for an eighth to around 60 USD-​70USD. Avoid this store and go to the other Barney’s on the outskirts of the city which serves breakfast as well as weed

High quality products are sold here. Probably some of the best in Amsterdam but you will pay for the quality.
Each table has a volcano available for use. Just ask behind the counter for a bag and mouthpiece.
Its a cool shop and close to Central Station but visit other shops for bargains

Yes, I am a fan of the Barney’s empire. Whenever I am in Amsterdam it’s one of my first stops. The quality is extremely high and it’s typically a line to wait in. The line moves fairly quickly and the guys that work there are knowledgeable. It’s always very warm in this shop, I recommend that you wear layers as you will likely need to remove a few throughout the course of your stay. If your in the mood, there are volcano’s on each table, definitely worth a try.

the place was 4 star… but the year i did the cannabis cup barneys won. so i give his hash a 5… and his g-​13 is pretty amazing also… good times

I came to Barneys for one reason and one reason only. After glancing at the menu my friend and I made a quick decision and we weren’t disappointed. This place wasn’t too crowded when we came in the late afternoon and coffee and other fare will run you a few euros. The downside is that due to it’s name and maybe location it is a bit more expensive than other coffeeshops but the product is good. Next door, they have a sister venue that has a much much relaxed ambiance as well.

I was there on what turned out to be it’s only slow night — meaning it was near empty when I arrived and packed when I left. The atmosphere is pretty chill with a wall that you’ll try to pull open. There are TV screens and volcanoes at every table to keep you more than occupied. The coffee is decent and has a separate station for ordering which makes that process easier. There is an easy menu to read and a large bar for ordering what you need, with plenty of Cannibus Cup winning selections, which can get pricey. That’s the good stuff. On the bad side, if you’re looking for a good space-​cake, of which they have only two stale flavours, be prepared for a less than enjoyable experience. People don’t flock here for space-​cakes. Lastly, the owner is a bit of a douche. He was fairly decent with me, but after listening to him talk to a few other customers I realized I was getting the nice side of him. Not a bad spot if you’re with friends and don’t mind a crowd. Not a loner’s kind of place.
