Party Earth Barney's Coffeeshop Review

The Scene

For over twenty years, the small but hip Barney's Coffeeshop has offered a welcoming bohemian feel and remains a genuine staple of Amsterdam's smoking culture.

Nieuwe Zijds, Amsterdam –

For over twenty years, the small but hip Barney’s Coffeeshop has offered a welcoming bohemian feel and remains a genuine staple of Amsterdam’s smoking culture.

The vintage wood trim and smiling sun logo invite patrons in, where they find a rustic tavern with a rather exotic décor featuring golden yellow walls with brick patches, smooth carvings and ornately-painted wooden tables, emerald and crimson counters, and a collection of souvenirs from Southeast Asia.

Customers slouch contentedly on wooden benches and chairs to take a breather from the busy streets, chill in an easygoing environment, and of course sample the high-quality marijuana.

Winner of many Cannabis Cups for its rare strain selections of weed and hash, Barney’s enjoys a solid reputation for offering reliable products in a sociable and open-minded atmosphere.

The coffeeshop’s philosophy and ambiance attracts a laid-back clientele of hippies, while the sometimes overworked staff is always friendly, approachable, and ready to offer suggestions.

Since its original concept as a coffeeshop and seed supplier, Barney’s has expanded into a diverse chain of establishments, most located on the same block and all worth an extended visit of their own.

Tip from Jonah:

Barney’s strictly enforces Amsterdam’s coffeeshop rules, so whether you’re 18 or 45, you’ll need to show an ID or risk being denied entry.

  • Crowd

    Casual and open-minded local hippies, expats, and travelers, 20s to 30s+.

  • Entertainment / Music

    Relaxing tunes with smooth beats and bass.

  • Food / Miscellaneous

    None at Barney’s Coffeeshop, but Barney’s Uptown across the street offers a popular English breakfast as well as lunch and dinner menus.

  • Prices

    Weed €12–€17/gram, hash €12/gram. Coffee €2, fruit juices €3.

  • What to Wear / Dress Code

    Casual.

  • Hot Nights / When to Go

    Busiest from 10:30am to 2:30pm, then again from 6pm to close. For a mellower vibe, go between those times.

  • Close By

    Barney’s Coffeeshop, Barney’s Uptown, and Barney’s Farm are all on the same block. Barney’s Uptown is a sleek bar and café with an extensive food and drink menu and DJ nights. Souvenirs and seeds are available at Barney’s Farm. Barney’s Lounge at Reguliersgracht 27 is a posh and modern coffeeshop.

Barney's Coffeeshop User Reviews

Alan Condon May 1, 2013 2.0 stars When in Rome? When in Amsterdam! A regular tourist attraction, you won't find too many locals basking in the 'ambiance' of Barney's. If you're like me and love to talk to the locals and try and understand their experiences and way of life I would DEFINITELY steer clear of Barney's. Although if you're with your small clique of friends and like bumping into your travelling counterparts, pop in for a smoke and a chat - also relax and enjoy the many, many...MANY (I can't stress this enough) 'greeners' that are imminent in a popular tourist coffee shop like this. Let's hope your not one of them! Giggles will be plenty - but this great city has so much more to offer!
Colin Jones Dec 5, 2012 1.0 stars The best coffee shops are the quiet ones were people play a bit of backgammon and chess. I liked the choice of smoke, but being carded at the door takes a little joy away for me personally. I love the coffee shops in this city, but the quiet ones out of the way are much better than the big tourist ones. Though it is entertaining watching a whole group of tourists come in, order the strongest weed, and then turn into silent mumbling green zombies! Enjoy your joint, but don't be greedy! Though it has a big reputation, it isn't one I would prefer to visit.
Audrey Sykes Nov 30, 2012 2.0 stars Lost its cool I don't know why Barney's is such a hit actually, I think it's one of those coffeeshops that's been written about so many times in guidebooks people just think they HAVE to get there. I'll admit it's been around for a while, and before they remodeled it there was a reliable hippie vibe to the place, but that's all changed now and things don't really feel the same. Plus they're one of the few coffeeshops that card people right at the door, which is unusual, and kind of kills the buzz or makes people feel more uncomfortable.
