twstd cafe is an awesome place to grab some drinks and here some good music, nice pre-party spot, and also has afterhours every now and then on sunday mornings
www.twstd.nl/

club 11 has great lineups, nice crowd and setup. just be sure to buy tickets in advance for whatever night you're going, either on the website, or at a recordshop like outland
www.ilove11.nl/

flexbar is a nice place also to hear some music and grab some drinks, awesome location too in the westergasfabriek
http://www.flexbar.nl/

powerzone is a nice club, great crowd, cool warehouse vibe, always a nice place for house music.
www.thepowerzone.nl/

and, outside of amsterdam, club poema is AWESOME, located in utrecht like TE, only 20 minutes from amsterdam.
www.clubpoema.nl/

your best bet though for finding the perfect party is to check out www.partyflock.nl and click on agenda to find dates

and if you're adventurous, talk to people at any of these places and see if you can find some of the more semi-illegal and underground warehouse parties all around the city. you won't see them advertised, but nothing beats them

have fun

Cool man, some good info there! Wot time do these places close at? We'll be wanting to party right until 6am!

i just stayed in a hostel when we went down but it was hard enough to find a room that didn't have holes in the doors (no joke)..during a "slower period before the summer"...let alone during Trance Energy... but a bed's a bed.


edit: reading>me. I thought we were talking about hotels and places to stay I know nothing of clubs! All i remember was hanging out at the Bob Marley "bar"

Meh - worth it to see once, but definitely nothing at all special.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Edit: Go to Anyday (Korte Kolksteeg 5), ask for "Stella Blue", enjoy.



It's the red dot on this map (technically on the Spuistraat):

Shitty, shitty weed though. Some of the worst in Centrum, and that's an accomplishment considering the number of tourist shops there


Posted by Sungod on Jan-03-2008 22:12:

Where did you get the best weed?

Other favorites were the Kali Mist at Barney's (very much "get ya going" pot), the blueberry @ Betty Boop (which may not even be around anymore), the Ring had some nice Jack Herer while I was there, and as far as place to chill I enjoyed Abraxas (although their weed was pretty inconsistent as well).

This is all just for Centrum though, some of the best weed in the country isn't anywhere near Amsterdam.



Fuck can I not wait to go back...

as far as coffeeshops, i'd say the best weed in the city is at either rokerij or de dampkring (altho dampkring has gotten really touristy), love chillin upstairs at abraxas, and barney's does an awesome breakfast

clubs in the city close usually between 4 and 6am, but that's why you have to search out the underground afterparty places and twstd cafe opens back up at 7am on certain sunday mornings

Just a minor addendum to this post - Dampkring has probably the best hash in the city, but the majority of it is to be found at their second (actually, I believe it was open before Dampkring) shop, Tweede Kamer.

It's located pretty close and I believe they still have the same selection as the Dampkring, plus quite a few more varieties of hash.

Definitely worth checking out though.

I'm also fairly sure there are still 3 Rokerij shops, but didn't spend much (if any) time at any of them, so maybe Myra and I will have to check them out when we're back in March.

Sketchball Rasta shops and some of the most foul looking women I've ever seen.

No thanks.

Just look at it this way, there's a chance that someday I'll want a baby, but there's also a good chance that after giving birth to that baby, I'll want to eat it.

- The Dolphins is a good coffeeshop

near the Leidseplein (Leidse square for y'all)

Never been to that club, but it's a pretty small club from what I've heard.
