This wonderful coffeeshop is tucked away in an alley just a block from the Dam square. Excellent smoke, a beautiful, trippy interior, and live DJ make this a popular place with locals and tourists.
The Abraxas is an old favorite of lots of folks in Amsterdam. The buildings date back several hundred years, according to the owner, and are directly across the alleyway from the Supper Club.
One building was built originally as a coffeeshop and café to serve clientele from the neighborhoods many newspapers a hundred years ago. The scene abck then was filled with reporters out for a drink, a meal, or a smoke. Tobacco was king back then, not marijuana, but I’m sure a few crafty Dutch were smoking opium or hashish at the time. You can feel it in the Abraxas’ aura when you are there.
From humble beginnings a few years back, Abraxas has now gone upscale and classy, and has become even more of a favorite with locals and visitors alike. Three floors are decked out like hobbitland with beautiful custom wood and tilework. Great music fills the place as the dj or dealer pick a wide range of groovy tunes. Around the corner on the Nieuwezijds Voorburghwal are several hot nightspots (clubs), so there is a lot of club energy here. You can even request a song if they're not too busy.
Abraxas serves quality bud and hashish and is one of the few places in town that doesn't shake their buds. You can use the microscope to view the intact tricomes up close for yourself.

Bad points:
not enough women
Would you recommend ?:
yes
To find the Abraxas Coffeeshop from the Dam Square, look at Madam Tussaud's Building, and notice the alley to the right of it called the Kalverstraat. Enter this alleyway, and look for the very first right-hand turn into the tiny alleyway named Jonge Rollensteeg. Keep going... it's down at the other end by the Nieuwzijdes Voorburgwal on the right. There are several large neon signs
Love the decor, really friendly staff and great music.
Bad points:
I vaporise and they only had one Valcano.
Would you recommend ?:
Most definately recommend!
Abraxas was the first coffee shop I ever visited, I've been to Amsterdam 7 times now and this place never fails me. Great selection of weed and fantastic hash brownies! We normally eat at the supperclub over the road so in between courses we nip over to Abraxas for a quick vape and then back to the club for the rest of the meal. Check this place out.
