The Bulldog

The life story of the founder of this place would be perfect for a movie. Throwing out the items from his father's sex shop into a canal and opening his first coffee shop (using his savings from selling marihuana on festivals), Henk de Vries did not choose an easy path in life. He and his customers had been arrested hundreds of times, but that did not stop Henk from buying a new place for their cannabis experiences. This one used to be, ironically, a former police station.

Today, there are numerous Bulldog coffee shops, hotels and cocktail bars all over Amsterdam, Europe, and Canada.

You can come here to smoke, have a beer and chat, or buy various cannabis-related products, from t-shirts and other clothes with the Bulldog brand to seeds for later use.

You can get here by trams 1,2,5,7,10 and 16.
