keep away from the bulldog coffee shops, they were full of tourist thuggy types when i went. I'd recommend...
rookies : one of the few i was in that sold beer as well as dope, it had good quality weed and pool tables
the grey area : run by american guys with their own unique strains of weed, the greyberry was good, they were also playing deerhoof and sonic youth when i was there. very small though
mellow yellow : further out that the others but definately the friendliest i was in, the owner sat at the table with me and my girlfriend for a while chatting, good mix of floyd, hendrix and pysch. they have pinball tables and good munchies
dampkrieg : seemed quite cool but quite strict, they asked us for id even though we were 20 at the time. It's popular cus they filmed a bit of oceans 12 there
other things : vondel park is great if it's sunny, good place for a smoke too
ajax's ground, the amsterdam arena for good football (need a tram to get there though)
the cobra museum (again a tramride away) for fantastic art
gigs at the paradiso
theres a tour round the heineken brewery and the liedsplein is good if you're stoned and want to gawp at firethrowers/breakdancers/magicians
