Smokey

They do sell alcohol here, in the form of kronenbourg beer, which I am a fan of! It is the only coffee shop I have been to that sold alcohol, which was cool. The weed was pricey, as is everything in the touristy area. It was tasty and fairly strong though. The inside of this place felt divey, which I liked. It was a little crowded but not problematically so. Bumpin classic rock, pop, and reggae jamz

My favourite coffeeshop to visit in Amsterdam without a doubt!
This place has an incredible laid-​back, welcoming vibe that some of the other coffeeshops lack. The staff are exceptionally friendly and the ambience of the place is perfect for smoking and relaxing with one of Smokeys hot chocolates and cream (GET ONE OF THESE!)
Fairly cheap, however much of the bud only comes in 2g bags which does make it a bit more expensive. Having said that, they sell great pre-​rolled for those who are beginners or are on a budget. This place is great, I love it and I will certainly visit again as often as I can! 5*

Very few coffee shops let you lounge without purchasing green. Here at Smokey, I can just order a tea and smoke what I already have. I really appreciate that. Plus fun environment. Remember to tip the bartender.

After a late dinner at Coco’s Outback, my bf and I decided to for a walk around Rembrandtplein plaza. Most of the establishments looked pretty quiet and dead except for Smokey and the club next door.
Since we weren’t in the mood for clubbing, we decided to go to Smokey. The moment we walked in, I noticed that it totally lived up to its namesake and was totally… smokey. Too smokey. It almost seemed like there was a fire going on inside.
The place was pretty packed and busy, but we managed to snag a little bar table by the door. It was next to the vending machine for ciggies and under a large clock, so I could keep tabs on exactly what time it was. :)
I sat on a high bar stool by the wall, while my bf sat with his back towards the room. It wasn’t the best position for him to be in, as people kept bumping into him as they were walking by.
He got a beer, and I ordered a mint tea because I didn’t feel like drinking any more alcohol. I loved how the mint tea came with tons of fresh mint leaves. Totally awesome. They also gave me a Pickwick English tea bag with it, which I didn’t bother to put in, as I didn’t want any caffeine so late at night.
We left after only one drink, as we were tired and the place was too smokey to hang out for long.

My little sister and I were «tired» and wanted to try some local «coffee».
She had never had a cup of coffee before and thought being in Amsterdam with her older brother was the perfect occasion. We had a blast!
The staff is super friendly (and why wouldn’t they be? Their customer base is always happy and never violent), the music is off the hook and the vibes are perfect.
We went on a very quiet week night so I imagine the vibes are different when it’s packed. Still, a nice little touristy spot to get your coffee fix.

Don’t get the wrong idea, y’allz. I was an OBSERVER, not a participant.
I’ve actually put off writing alot of my Amsterdam reviews b/​c I don’t want my «good girl» image to be tarnished (Hi Mom!). Let’s just say I observed certain recreational activities in Amsterdam that I think the world should know about. Amsterdam is brand spankin’ new to Unilocal,after all. So they need all the reviews they can get.
Smokey’s is smack in the middle of Rembrandt Square, which is a haven for tourists. The inside resembles an above ground neon-​lit cave. Pool tables in the back. Music videos playing on the flat screens. Every time I hear Kid Cudi’s «Memories», I think of this place. Everyone stopped what they were doing to sing along :)
Tables are communal. Most patrons are college-​aged. They have a zig zag vending machine and they sell pre-​rolled or bagged product.
According to my traveling companion, their merchandise was much more pricey than at neighboring coffee shops (like Rokerij, which is awesome), but since Smokey’s is a better hangout spot in a more central location — you pay a bit more. The quality is mediocre, though.
I enjoyed a 4 euro pineapple strawberry smoothie at the bar. They don’t serve alcohol here though, only smoothies, which I found to be quite common in the coffee shops of Amsterdam. The folks behind the counter were pretty nice folks, too.
Overall, I would recommend Smokey’s for the younger crowd.

While in Amsterdam, my son and myself stopped into a number of Coffeeshops. This one appeared to have everything in the way of keeping yourself entertained.
