Tips for a weekend away in Dam.

 

TIA

Anne Frank's gaff

Van Gogh museum

Ajax game if you can

Sex show (casa rosso)

canal boat tour (couple of cans and a tour)

 

If you are looking for decent scran you won't go wrong by dam square down the street which takes you from the clog that everyone has a picture in to the red light district. Loads of competition so get a decent feed for about €15

 

Susies Saloon

Red light bar

Cafe remember

Generic spliff in bulldog

 

Amsterdam is fucking ace

Bloedstraat :)

Black alley

i went to the sex museum

 

england holland friendly

 

then got pissed, cost me a fortune

Red light district, coffee shop, mushrooms and cake - its the only way forward.

 

Avoid the Grasshopper unless you have loads of money

Theres a pub called the Jolly Sailor in the red light district.

 

The toilet is basically just a small cubby hole at the end of the bar with a hole in the floor for your waste

 

If you miss the hole, it's ok because the barman will chase your poo part down the hole with a hose pipe for you.

 

The bar smells funny most of the time.

 

Apparently.

Grasshopper is nicesh though

Heineken experience worth a visit.

Get talking to the japs in the hospitality bar - they don't use their complimentary drink tickets.

Buy a box of Philosophers' Stones. They taste like shit, but munch half the box and wait a couple of hours, then keep topping yourself up throughout the day. Travel to an alternate dimension.

Biercafe Gollem on Amstelstraat ......30 ales on draught ...250 bottled ales

They were top of the list in the shop! The guy wouldn't sell them us because we were English. We went for the Mexicans and some others I can't remember the name of.

 

By far and out the most wrecked I've ever been in my life.

 

Things melting off the wall, some weird netting appearing all over the place, dolphins on the bathroom tiles dancing round in circles, pool balls gliding across the table with trails.

 

Remember looking at my phone and all the letters drained down my hand.

 

Crazy tackle.

I'd rather sup ale!!!!

 

Whiz, Amsterdam??? Thy wants grow up.

We got them from a shop just outside the Red Light District. Asked the fella what was best and had a bit of a conversation with him, so maybe he thought we were sensible enough to have them. We were probably just lucky.

 

Funny you mention pool balls, because we found a coffee shop that had ladders going down to a basement with a pool table in it. I'm 6'2" and had to spend all our time in there crouching down because the ceiling was less than 6 foot high. Anyway, when we started playing everything was normal enough, but after a couple of games we all agreed that every single ball on the table was now purple and had become the size of a basket ball. Not only that, but when they hit each other, they'd release a shower of sparks. Obviously powers of suggestion were at work, but all 3 of us swore we were seeing the same thing!

 

Also saw a man on a bicycle riding along the water in the canal, and at one point I was talking to my mate when he suddenly sunk into the brickwork behind him, with just his face sticking out. A long time ago now, but I'll never forget it. Not sure I'd want to do it again. Probably too old for that sort of shit these days.

Had a couple of very similar experiences on Mexicans. I was walking round and every fucker had the same face of one of our lot who had gone home. I was walking round giggling, saying 'Look, everyone's Nick' Lasted a couple of hours.

Had some descent trips in Amsterdam (pun intended)

Last year after a couple of spliffs I went through every emotion within a few minutes

One minute laughing my tits off then wanted to be left alone then cry and so on

After it wore off I thought thank fuck for that

Only for it start again 10 minutes later

Then after that wore offf 10 minutes later the fucker went for the hat trick

 

Fucking brilliant though

There's a great bar on Herengracht called T'Arendsnest, and Belgian restaurant next door called Lieve that does interesting food and beer and has good atmosphere.

De Zwarte Zwaan is a decent restaurant

 

 

Bit short of jazz in Amsterdam, but plenty of live music
