The Happy Corner

It used to be a good shop back in the days, me and my friends would stay long after closing hours with the owner and the bartender. At that time they didn't sell from behind the counter, you had to know who the dealer was in the shop in order to get the stuff. Always good weed and big bags, fully stuffed! When the Meram opened things got even better, they started to compete with each other meaning the customer would get extras like a blunt or a piece of hash. Unfortunately the Meram had to close due to some other business they had which proved to be illegal. This is where things turned ugly, smaller bags and no respect. No more small talk or even a simple "hello goodbye have a nice day" anymore and when you say something about the quality or amount, you get barked at. I'm a customer for over 15 years now and never have I been treated this way before in a coffeeshop. This shop is going down the drain, people should avoid this shop at all costs (better get it in Groningen or Emmen). For all you folks out there who like to come to Assen and enjoy things like the TT-races with a blunt; you better take some from home with you or buy it on the way to Assen but whatever you do, don't buy anything at The Happy Corner!

This is the worst coffeeshop ever. They try to scam everybody with their small bags cos they are the only shop in Assen. You can only see one bag at a time you used to see a handful. Now why is this? Cos they only have small bags. You pay 6 euros for something that's not even worth 5 euro. My advice is go to Zuidlaren or Groningen. But stay away from this shop, bunch of greedy motherfuckers. I wish they would close the Happy and open the Meram again, they had good bags but this is unbelievable. If you buy a pack of chips it ain't normal if it's half full so why would this be allowed. pff bunch of losers the Happy are. And you wont be treated with respect here you say hello they say nothing. Avoid this shop.

The oldest shop in Assen which is still running. It has been redecorated last summer, nice shop, quite for locals, but if the Meram is lacking quality you can come here, the quality in Assen always shifts from Meram to the Happy and back again, it is difficult to say which shop is the best. The Happy has a buy-counter for grass and hashish and prerolled blunts and sometimes space cakes. You can hang there, they have internet last time I was there, a pool table, some arcadegames, tv, music ranges from reggae to r ' n' b to rap (urban I believe it is called today) it is overall an okay shop!
