I was smoking a spliff this afternoon going through the directory looking at pictures of Coffeeshops and saw a lot of the closed shops had websites that are now defunct.
I thought I'd put a url or two through the Internet time machine to see if I could get any results and I'm happy to say I got a few hits!
Haven't gone through them all but some good ones so far are:
Blues Brothers Coffeeshop - 17/05/2001 - https://web.archive.org/web/20010517030 ... others.nl/
De Rokerij - 23/03/2007 - https://web.archive.org/web/20070323020 ... /index.php
I never got a chance to go to this next Coffeeshop but from my reading of the forum 't Nes Cafe was a forum favourite!
't Nes Cafe - 07/02/2005 - https://web.archive.org/web/20050204032 ... home.shtml
Coffeeshop The Other Place - 2006
I found this one interesting as it seems to have a farewell message but also it says 1977, so hopefully may help Bedge in his thread https://coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/view ... hp?t=22217 - Coffeeshops pre 1980
There are some that aren't much but a wall of text like Coffeeshop The T-Boat but in that text it says "The T-Boat had to shut on 1st April 2002 because the local water department made up a rule that didn't allow us to run a coffeeshop on the canals of Amsterdam." - https://web.archive.org/web/20130714111 ... story.html
