You can drink alcohol here. They were not very friendly and their Dutch Gold was good but ordinary. Barney's is closed early, so we test the Blue Velvet. I' m not recommending this coffeeshop, go to the Barney's if you are in the docks quarter.

Barney's was always packed, so we entered the Blue Velvet. And it's dim inside, with blue lighting. I liked it. Got the Mr. Nice Guy, and there were no complaints. I'd recommend this one if Barney's is too packed.
I did not like the Blue Velvet, at first I didn't mind them because the person I went to Amsterdam with liked 'em. But he is an idiot and so are the people in the Blue Velvet. They told my friend that I wasn't welcome because of my negative vibes and told him to tell me that because they were scared of me for some reason. I can't stand being judged by coffee shop workers I spent barely anytime in there and to be quite frank, it is a severely dilapidated shop, with the ceiling rotting and chairs are rickety not to mention uncomfortable. And their White Widow was harsh on my throat, prolly cos it was loaded up with chemical fertilizers, I got a gram of the Royal Jelly and it was also potent but bad tasting, and 30euro a gram is expensive. I liked Felix and Renea, the barmaid and house dealer, even if they didn't like me.
Me and my girlfriend have visited the Blue Velvet Coffee Shop twice now and have found it to be one of the friendliest Coffee Shops in Amsterdam. The lady behind the bar is really cool and on this occasion of visiting (23/10/03) someone in the shop even rolled a spliff for us which surprised me. We bought 1g of White Widow which blows your ed off and 1g of Mr Nice which is exactly what it says it is, (NICE) LOL. I would recommend this Coffee Shop to anyone who wants to chill in a warm environment.
