Barney's Coffeeshop Coffeeshop

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.
