One of the worst of Amsterdam’s bad coffeeshops, considered a rip off by locals, and now permanently closed.

Hunter’s Pub
A ‘unique’ Coffeeshop with newly redone dealer’s bar and full beverage bar makes this a great hideaway in the Red Light District.
The latest addition to their menu was Sour-Bubble, and it’s much better than something more famous from a more famous shop down the road…
Always convenient for me to stop in on the way to the office, the Hunter’s Bar had a really funky dealler’s bar in the back, dingy to say the least; but now it has been nicely redone with a more welcoming feel. The menu here has always offered some favorites like Buddha’s Sister and Kali Mist, but my new favorite as I said is the Sour-Bubble.

Cafe del Mondo
There are some coffeeshops in Amsterdam which experienced campaigners will recommend for the quality of the grass or the variety of the menu. Delmondo is not one of these smoking establishments. Situated on the periphirals of the Red Light District, Delmondo is a somewhat chic venue which offers a well stocked bar and a decent, if limited selection, of hash and weed. The prices or quality are not exceptional, but this is not the kind of place you go to for a bargain. The vibe is much less seedy than most of it’s contemporaries and you could almost think you were in a French brasserie if it wasn’t for the rich smell of cannabis in the air. With genuinely laid back staff and an area outside to smoke on a sunny day, there is possibly nowhere else in the city which is more relaxed to light up a joint in.

Homegrown Fantasy
Reported as permanently closed, the Homegrown fantasy was a unique favorite for many years. The review below was posted in the past.
Coffeeshop on the Nieuwezijdes Voorburgwal, recently redecorated and known for organic grass. I highly recommend the Apple Jack (if available). It’s possibly the best organic smoke in the country! Not far from the Dam Square.
