Barney's Uptown

Barney’s Uptown solves a very specific Haarlemmerstraat problem: buy across the road, then move somewhere with a proper bar and room to sit. The interior feels much more like a dark modern bar than a coffeeshop, with booths, bar seating, drinks, food, screens and a small street-side patio. Barney’s actively positions it as a place to relax with a drink and a smoke.

That makes it particularly useful for groups where the session is meant to last longer than the purchase. You are also in one of Amsterdam’s densest Smoke corridors, with Barney’s Coffeeshop opposite and the Jordaan, Westerpark and Centraal all easy to reach afterwards. Choose Uptown when you want the social bar part of the evening as much as the cannabis part.
