I'm not sure if you'll have heard of this, but in England there is a new "niche" craze for smoking shisha/hookah pipes. I think they're Egyptian and use coal to burn mollasus soaked tobacco in what is basically a huge bong. Typically they are fruity flavours and burn for about an hour - the reason I mention this, is that I have mixed in some weed at home with the mollasus and had an amazing time! Would love to try this in Amsterdam, does anybody know if such a place exists?

Thanks for the pancake recommendations too! Roger - do you have an address for Barneys?

I also enjoy smoking the Shisha. I know there is a large Arabic population in Adam. So I am sure if you find some Lebanese bars you will find the shisha. However, I do not know if you will be able to smoke pot in these bars.

Wonderbar.

They charge 5 euros for the rental and they'll put whatever you want in there. It's great place to hang. I don't remember where it is though, I think at the end of niewendijk.

Wonderbar is at Niewendijk 3

End of the street. It is across the canal from the Rojkerie.
