ACD Page: Nightbar The Bottle

Honourable mention for The Bottle, Oudebrugsteeg, which is a small (cozy) smoke friendly bar (no tobacco) which benefits from late opening (at least 3am) and cool Dutch staff.

Beer 5€ pint (500cl) which is about par.

Very central.

When did they stop allowing tobacco? They formerly gave zero fucks about cigarettes in plain sight.

Since the Dutch national government made the mandate that Horeca (hospitality/food & beverage service sector) establishments should be smoke (re: tobacco) free in 2020 with the soft introduction per 1 January, 2020 and hard enforcement per April, 2020.

So far it seems places like Batavia are attempting to skirt this by saying joints only, in theory weed only, in practice spliffs are being burned. But they're being more heavy handed against those in obvious violation - i.e. checking for people blatantly smoking actual cigs or with cigarette packs/rolling tobacco pouches on the table.

I remember 't Nes catching a €1000 fine shortly before reverting to the current owners. I knew about the impending "changes"; if The Bottle is taking it seriously it must be real. Perhaps really real

It’s happening

Definitely no tobacco or skinning up outside. But that normal everywhere now you just need to be discreet much more than before

so u can get away with smoking ...just not be seen to make it ? i suppose it nxt to 420 so the smell is not the issue

High all the rule in the bottle is no skining up in or outside.only pre rolled joints allowed.
best wishes all

so if I went here with my Js already rolled up good to go? basically just need to have them ready to go like cigs are in a pack but for joints/

High yes just take pre rolled and you are good to go.

Now re-named De Kroon Bar apprently. I had no idea.

This small, late opening bar is like an old friend who you can drop in at, late in the day and they won’t be annoyed.

And, they’ll sell you beer AND let you smoke a pre roll.

I’d read on the forum here, that it was now De Kroon, right opposite Snoop Dog’s CS (I don’t like RAP).

Happy to report that yes, it was now Da Kroon, but they had a bit of a disagreement and it’s reverted right back to being:

This is the clock behind the bar

No, you’re not looking into a mirror.

Don't they have a 'no smoking after 1am' rule now though? Even on the street outside?

don’t think so
