How do you get there from the Swissotel (it's by the Krasnapolsky)? Can I walk?

It appears it's right down the street (per map quest). Sorry, Oude Brugsteeg was not on the map I have, time for a new one I suppose. Damn Frommers.....

Thank you my man!

from swissotel, go left and look for pizza m slice on your left(used to pizza usa before 9/11). take a left and it will be on your left.

Wonderful young ausie girl works the bar, if your nice she might make you a capacinno. But without a doubt you must try the super silver haze and then walk up to Dam square and watch the pigeons fly by. It is truly a wonderful visual buzz, enjoy.

I dug the Blueberry. They do need some type of selection of beer, Amstel was ok but I want choices! By far the most comfortable shop and decent clientele. Makes me mad I spent so much time at the Bulldog when I first started going over.
