Now permanently closed by the City of Amsterdam, all three locations are gone. This review is for historical purposes only.
I tried to visit the Rokerij during the 2002 Cannabis Cup, and found it next to impossible to find a seat. This place is very popular, thanks to the dj spinning cool tunes, really good smoke and a nice large room in the back to chill and be seen by the hip set.
The crowd during the cup seemed to be an interesting blend of Americans, other foreigners and Dutch locals. If I could’ve found a seat perhaps I could tell you more. I even returned the day after the cup ended, and still found no place to sit and would’ve waited, but the thick cigarette smoke drove me out.
There are two other Rokerijs open now. One across from Central Station, the other at Amstel 8. All had nice interiors.
Been going to the DAM for years and this is still one of my best. A++++++++++++++++++
we found this place to be very cool, it was pretty close to our place and was the first coffeeshop we visited. the people that were in the shop were very helpful and liked to share info.highly recommended
Hot half-naked women worked here, at least during our trip for CC 2001
Cool relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, great music and pleasant time was had by all
Great atmosphere. We went to the one in the Leidesplein and it wasn’t too crowded. Awesome DJ and we didn’t find the staff to be rude at all. We went back and forth between the Alto Jazz club and Rokerij all night.
the best coffee in dam

We went to the rokery i think the Hash was was quality i was completely wrecked off a joint of white widow and the staff said it was policy to buy a drink when smoking weed in their shop and i thought that was boolacks but apart from that it was cool !!!
GREAT SHOP. GREAT LOCATAION, GOING BACK FOR THE 3RD YEAR IN A ROW. YOU CAN BET ILL BE AT THERE.
Pretty sweet place but the staff could do with a bit of a personality injection. Found them stuck up their own holes!
We went to the one up at the leisplein good chilled atmosphere. Sells beer and got a pool table. If you want a tune putting on just go up to the bar tender and if he’s got it on file he’ll whack it on. Saves putting money in a jukebox.
Just the best place in town, great weed, which you can but 1 grams (great for a short visit), the best tunes and the sexiest bar maids, and i’ve just found out there are three others, one on the Singel and one near Rembrandt Plein, not sure about the 4th one but it’s there somewhere….can’t wait to try them all.
HAPPY SMOKIN’
when i first seen this place i was very excited. it had an eastern look to it. velvet pillows were everywhere…well we buy our weed and an assortment of beverages and take a seat. meanwhile the guy that we just bought $40 worth of goods from comes all the way across the room to us because my boyfriend had a bottle of water under his chair that he wasn’t even drinking because he had just bought a juice. he wasnt even touching it and the guy was harrassing us. he told my boyfriend to either throw it away or leave. we left. i get that they dont want carry ins bought we bought drinks and bud what more does this place want? my advice : stay away!
Everything about the place near Leidseplein is great except for the smoke which was average.
ok here goes, i saw it, i went in, i got stoned, i cant remember nothin so i gave it eight as if it was bad i would remember. nice sign lol
saw,went,bought & smoked……………
…, i remember because i took a picture 🙂
chilled out grooves from cool dj’s definatley worth a visit.
My personal favorite place in Amsterdam. The interior is funky w/wood carvings on the wall. They play e-music and the lights change w/the beat. If you are smoking, it really messes you up. Tried the Mor. Hash with some skunk I bought earlier. It was a great, trippy experience. It is my favorite place to go and my first stop I will make when I go there again next year!
it’s woth the visit ’cause of the very well done decor in- and outside (u’ll always sit dry!!!). good e-music, all kind of tstyles… very nice stuff, prices ok.
A REALLY NICE CHILLED PLACE FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS FROM SMOKE , TO HOT AND COLD DRINKS, GREAT MUSIC
dunno if someone’s mentioned it but the best part about the rokery for me are the slow turning fans in the back room… turning at the slowest of speeds.. excellent must for the easily amused tourist
Ahhh the Rokeriij. As soon as I saw the Rokeriij on leidesplein I knew I had to go there. I walked in and got a bag of the super silver haze, but when I was walking in the guy tried to make me take my hat off. He wouldn’t let me keep it, saying that it was like a church, so eventually I caved, and I was very happy I did once I got inside. The waitresses were totally bangin’ and the weed was pretty good. The service was not that friendly but it was a good ambiance, and I had a fun time smoking there.
The best
I always found this place very nice. Service was a little slow but more than made up for that with bar staff girls being very nice looking!
It can get crowded at times due to its poularity, staff very friendly and had pre rolled aswell which i always found to do the buisness!
Will be visiting again in November!
—————————————————————————————————-Cool but a little ‘dark’ during the day and too touristic!! the doorman always with a bad face asking ID for people in their 30’s it’s not good and makes one not welcome! the service is not very nice due to the number of people inside.
The (re)decoration and the music it’s the best!
Cesária Evora and some Gotan Project !
The djing at night it’s cool 🙂
