Barney's owner (Derry) is also the owner of Amnesia, so you might expect to find the same weeds at both places. I dont go to Barney's and dont make it up to Amnesia very often, so I couldnt say for sure if the quality of weed or menu is the same at both shops. Peace n Love.

Hiya Puffin!

To be honest, I haven't been into Barneys on either of my last two visits, and wasn't impressed by the prices and food on the visit before that, which is a shame because I used to come here all the time. Things change.

Amnesia was my second favourite hangout before the re-furb, which was when I read that Derry now had a hand in the shop. I still like Amnesia, although the vibe is a little different to how it used to be. I'll still continue coming here, unless things change again.. Basjoe's also struck me as having a nice little vibe going on as well, which I shall definitely explore further.

Fortunately, the majority of contributors here are able to express their views in a way that is more likely to make me want to try out these little places I have never had the pleasure of visiting, rather than just bluntly decrying them in favour of less-than-exciting venues...

As far as I'm aware, the menus are still different - looking at FlyByNite's link here http://www.black-arts.org/~reatta/menus.html - so you can still get quite a nice varied selection at both of Derry's places...

Cheers!

I only went to barneys once while i was in amsterdam....which was on the last night of my trip.

I bought 1g of red dragon and it was both great weed and overpriced. its hard to work out if it's better to buy a 2-3g of regular bubblegum/blueberry or 1g of red dragon

I find thats its better to go to a barneys/dampkring/420 to get your REALLY strong weed @ €12-14 and then go to a smaller (but better) coffee shop like mellow yellow, basjoes and buy 2-3g of blueberry @ €7 then mix that shit up. you get more weed for your money plus you still get a nice high.

I remember at one point i had 10 different types of weed and i couldnt remember where i bought most of it or what i had even paid for it...thats what holidays are for....lol

Know I've been to Basjoes, on my last trip there bonglord gave us some terminator, but can't remember the budtender or shop itself!

Having looked at that fan website I now have a vague recollection of it. I didn't buy any weed or hash there though. How is the quality compared to say Grey Area?

The hole is gone??..................................................................

service took a long time despite me being the only person at the counter, drinks are pricey compared to some places, didnt like the interior much, the outside would be nice - the roadworks were still up when i went in october though. Got some white widow - decent but nothing special.

felt slightly let down after the great reviews i read on here

Awesome shop, cool atmosphere & budtender, have been going in almost everyday since moving to the dam. Prefer their hash to their bud though, prefer going up a hundred meters and score some weed at green place first. Then back here for some terminator, morrocan soles, temple balls.... But if you want gear under 12€/gram, better here than GP then. Got a couple nice stuff at around 7 - 8/g.

Def a top 4!
