Quick heads-up
Before you walk in

No alcohol or hard drugs
Cannabis is the story here. The rest stays at home.

Five grams a day, max
Per person, per day. Not our rule — Dutch law.

Everyone’s welcome
Aggression, discrimination, or general nonsense isn’t. We’ll politely show you out.

No cameras inside
Not everyone wants to be in a photo, and some really don’t. Respect that.

Listen to the staff
Our people keep the place pleasant. If they ask something, just go with it.
