    Chillest atmosphere in town.
    Joy M.

    Barney's Uptown is the "hippest" of all the Barney's branches in Amsterdam. They offer up a full bar and a scrumptious menu. Their staff is incredibly friendly and chill (shoutout to Ana), and they'll always make you feel at home. Whether you're looking for a mean cocktail, an ice cold beer, or really appetising dishes, Barney's has recently expanded their menu with great attention to quality. Pop in for lunch, dinner, or enjoy their late night snacks until closing. Their burgers are THE bomb.com - try any one of them! Some evenings, their resident DJ mixes up the funkiest tunes, and there's also a big screen for showing major sporting events. Barney's was definitely our go-to place for delicious food, good vibes, and great people during our trips to Amsterdam. Note: This place is stoner friendly.

    Barney's Uptown is a really nice place overall. It has a hip vibe to it, with a lot of dark colors and low lights with the bar being the centerpiece. In LA, this place would really pop. Since it's Amsterdam.. well nothing really pops like it does in LA. It's not a bad thing.. it's just something you have to accept in coming to Amsterdam. This place has great drinks and really awesome food to match. Over the years it seems like they have used chefs with fresh and new styles. They do a good job in presentation and flavor. I would compare this place to Krave in LA, but much cooler. Note for the hippies, you are free to enjoy your greenery here. No special section needed. Note for the non-hippies, note the above if you can't stand the smell.

    Yogurt with muesli and fruit. Served with honey on the side :)

    I love this place, truly. Take note of the other reviews that you will likely be in for a wait, so not a good place if you're in a rush. Also, this place is friendly to consuming greenery indoors, so it's awesome if you're into that ;) We went around 12-1pm on a Sunday and were happy to find a table easily! However, they only have about 2 waitresses for the whole place, so we had to wait a while to put in our order. No problem because you can roll one up and enjoy that in the meantime! Hehe. I got a latte and my boyfriend got orange juice. Both were good! We also shared the Irish Breakfast and the yogurt with muesli and fresh fruit. A little pricey, but it is tasty food and you pay for the ambience/experience :)

    If you are trying to find a spot to relax and smoke, get delicious cocktails, AND amazing food... THIS. IS. THE. SPOT!! You can purchase your smoking goodies at the shop right across the street and come in here to enjoy. The cocktails on the menu are very traditional (piña colada, tequila sunrise, etc) but rest assured that these are not the traditional cocktail recipes you're use to; all the cocktails are made with natural fruit & juices - hands down the BEST piña colada I've ever tasted! And the food? Get the appetizer sampler! Highly recommend for anyone going to Amsterdam looking for a good time.

    yummy!!

    Across the street from the more casual Barney's, this place has a much nicer atmosphere, modern interior, a full bar, and table service.

    After a late dinner at Coco's Outback, my bf and I decided to for a walk around Rembrandtplein…read moreplaza. Most of the establishments looked pretty quiet and dead except for Smokey and the club next door. Since we weren't in the mood for clubbing, we decided to go to Smokey. The moment we walked in, I noticed that it totally lived up to its namesake and was totally... smokey. Too smokey. It almost seemed like there was a fire going on inside. The place was pretty packed and busy, but we managed to snag a little bar table by the door. It was next to the vending machine for ciggies and under a large clock, so I could keep tabs on exactly what time it was. :) I sat on a high bar stool by the wall, while my bf sat with his back towards the room. It wasn't the best position for him to be in, as people kept bumping into him as they were walking by. He got a beer, and I ordered a mint tea because I didn't feel like drinking any more alcohol. I loved how the mint tea came with tons of fresh mint leaves. Totally awesome. They also gave me a Pickwick English tea bag with it, which I didn't bother to put in, as I didn't want any caffeine so late at night. We left after only one drink, as we were tired and the place was too smokey to hang out for long.

    Don't get the wrong idea, y'allz. I was an OBSERVER, not a participant…read more I've actually put off writing alot of my Amsterdam reviews b/c I don't want my "good girl" image to be tarnished (Hi Mom!). Let's just say I observed certain recreational activities in Amsterdam that I think the world should know about. Amsterdam is brand spankin' new to Yelp, after all. So they need all the reviews they can get. Smokey's is smack in the middle of Rembrandt Square, which is a haven for tourists. The inside resembles an above ground neon-lit cave. Pool tables in the back. Music videos playing on the flat screens. Every time I hear Kid Cudi's "Memories", I think of this place. Everyone stopped what they were doing to sing along :) Tables are communal. Most patrons are college-aged. They have a zig zag vending machine and they sell pre-rolled or bagged product. According to my traveling companion, their merchandise was much more pricey than at neighboring coffee shops (like Rokerij, which is awesome), but since Smokey's is a better hangout spot in a more central location - you pay a bit more. The quality is mediocre, though. I enjoyed a 4 euro pineapple strawberry smoothie at the bar. They don't serve alcohol here though, only smoothies, which I found to be quite common in the coffee shops of Amsterdam. The folks behind the counter were pretty nice folks, too. Overall, I would recommend Smokey's for the younger crowd.
