The Bulldog Mack

Great place to hang out with friends and have a bear. Music and atmosphere there is just great. I had a wonderful time there. Cost of a beer is 7€. It's a bit expensive place, but great for tourists. If you are visiting Amsterdam, I recommend this place to hang out with friends.

never changes still as it was when i first went in years ago. however prices have shot through the roof 4 pints & 1 vodka & coke £49.00. try elsewhere theres much cheaper & better places in the area.

The unique coffee shop where you can smoke and drink beer. Is the best!!

Good spot to have a drink and hangout. It's a much more interesting spot to smoke than most coffeeshops and you can mix it with a beer. Fortunately they don't allow tobacco, so it just works and is one of my favorite places downtown Amsterdam. Really good music too, specially at night and weekends. Service is decent, never had a problem any time I went. Just a good hang. Went in 2014 and came back late 2022, place was the same. And I'm glad it was.

Went here as soon as they opened on the morning of my 21st birthday as a way to wake and bake. We sat outside which is lovely. If I'm not mistaken we had gorilla glue here ( Don't know if we got it at this exact bulldogs or a different one). I had a Jamaican coffee which was a little bitter in my opinion but now I know to stick to chocomel when smoking :) (selfie was taken by the outdoor seating area so you can get an idea of the view you'd have)

Went here for breakfast here and it was lovely. Not the cheapest you'll find I Amsterdam but not the most expensive either. Definitely worth it if you ask me. Can smoke inside, (not tobacco) located next the first bulldog coffee shop. Very easy to find.

They won’t serve water. I’m more than happy to pay but that’s not an option. Seems very strange!

State exactly what you want, otherwise a tea of 1,90 becomes a fresh mint tea triple the price. Staff wasn't very welcoming, quick serve without friendly words, and it wasn't because of the hustle. Almost empty tables, - should've been a sign to just pass by. Decent sandwiches, decent coffee.

Visited in daylight, friendly staff, good breakfast and great location. A good "welcome to Amsterdam" I'll say.

We went to Bull Dog pub for the first time during our stay in Amsterdam, today at about 22pm. I had a very bad impression of this place. The male bartender, he may even be the manager, attitude was arrogant and disrespectful. We set down for a few minutes in a table that apparently was reserved and he came to us speaking really rude! We ignored him and left. However, This is not acceptable! It is a shame as most of the places I’ve been in Amsterdam everyone were fantastic! I definitely suggest to the management to take some action against this individual that walks in the bar like he owns it. . I would not recommend this place.

the food was very overpriced especially for the lack of flavor and customer service. we ordered a variety of food that took a ridiculous amount of time to come out and despite the variety, the flavors were bland and the food was very dry. our waitress had a very cold demeanor, and forced us to move tables for no apparent reason (it was empty the entire time we were there.) besides that, the interior was quite cramped despite it being almost empty which just adds more questions on the lack of enjoyable service. even as someone who isn't into those type of places, the bulldog coffeeshop was a much more enjoyable visit.

Terrible, woman sitting by toilet demanding 50 cent to go to the toilet. We rolled a joint and a lady came to take our order but refused to sell one person a soft drink, said it was alcohol or nothing, encouraging the mixing of weed and alcohol which can make some people feel ill. We left as thought this plus the toilet charge was completely ridiculous. Came and had a good time here in February so not sure why it has changed. We've been to Amsterdam 7 other times and never had this problem before! We visited a different Bulldog closer to our hotel that we'd never been to and it was lovely thankfully

Be very careful with the bill , I was in one evening , they charged the bill a lot , and when I proved them they called security . Do not recommend

The worst place in Amsterdam, the blonde waitress is the rudest we ever seen in the world. She is disrespecting religions, telling off people and generally acting like you should never do with other human being - especially when you are a waitress and you get your wage to serve guests and be kind to them (she failed miserably). I will never come back here and discourage everyone in general, and definitely avoid the blonde one.

There was no star option so I gave one. We have been discriminated in this pub. Despite they have a soft drink menu, they told we have to drink alcohol. Really bad place. I do not suggest it especially for the tourists. They just rip off people here, especially non locals…

Very bad place and service. We drink 3 beers and payed. 35minutes later the workers tried to recived the payment again ( the same person that we payed already) . After that , another worker came to us and forced us to consume another drink or leave the place… bad place, bad workers and bad behaviours.. Beer expensive ( we payed 20 euros for 3 beers)

Could not recommend - the service was just above adequate etiquette. I got ‘okay’ Gin Tonic. After setting my laptop and the drink at the tables that are with cow leather in the back, I was asked by the waiter to go to the front of the bar and sit on the high table by the bar. No explanation, just that I cannot sit there. There was no reservation on the table, nor there were more than 15 people in the bar. I does not have pleasant time here .

Stopped here for breakfast. I had the English breakfast and my wife had a cheese and tomato omelette on toast. Both were excellent and the place is the full on Dutch experience. Their coffeeshop is just a few shops down if you find yourself running low

Great night's out, good food, cheap enough

Very expensive, full English, a sandwich, 2 coffees and a beer, 50 euros. Food was nice though just very expensive considering it's a chain.

Touristic but traditional. The terrace in Amsterdam. Great food and freedom.

Reasonable place to have a drink. It was what I was looking for

Very busy but cosy and nice vibes, see photo for my friends review of the space cakes.

Nice people, nice place, everything nice

Amazing place ,great vibes ,great customer service

A few meters away from the 'Bulldog the first'. Also a nice place to hangout and enjoy a drink and a smoke. Cool vibes!

Was a very chill cafe you go to the coffeshop like 20meters away go there have a nice drink smoke one joint the bartender's are very friendly and polite

Great place to eat breakfast in morning or beer in evening with a joint

Smoke, eat, drink, play some music and enjoy! The girls from staff are awesome!

As usual, another place to be in Amsterdam!

Cozy restaurant with outdoor seating by the water. Very friendly staff and yummy food. We tried fish'n'chips, nachos deluxe and english breakfast - all recommended. Making this our go to place in Amsterdam.

Very bad experience. Very rude bartender. He directly smashed a couple of glasses before our eyes just becouse he had a bad mood. When i asked for a bill when he asked money, he looks like he want to kill me directly. Never again.

Nice place to smoke

Right in the heart of the red light district, price are normal staff not too gentle

Best quality,awesome place

Amazing evening

An Amsterdam institution. Friendly, laid back and fun.

Jeeeezzzz, the beer here is horrendous. A large party all had beer on taps and it was completely flat and lifeless. We didn’t finish the over priced drinks and got the heck out of there. Wouldn’t not go back.

Used to be a good place. Now it's so full with people its impossible to move. And will take you 25 minutes minimum just to get served. Much better cafes around.

I was there 2 times. Super place. You will have all in one place. But now i put 3 becouse the staff on 7.11 and 8.11 said me that no more such institution in Red District. And now here only coffeshop and hemp store... why? Where is show, food, drinks, and disco? Is not it profitable???

Do you want to chill next to one of Amsterdam’s canals to relax? Bulldog is really a nice place to have a drink, smoke a cigarette or joint, or to have a spacecake. You can buy this inside, it costs €7. Music there can be raucous sometimes

Very rude lady wanted to charge me and then wouldn't take my coins to use the bathroom, apparently 2 euro cents aren't valid here! We also asked for small Heineken and they charged us for 5 euro bottles rather than the 2 euro 80 cent size. Very bad tourist rip off establishment. Avoid, you'll have a much better time elsewhere!

Lovely place for a drink and a smoke whilst sitting next to the canal.

Rude employee with bold head ! they don’t accept visa nor MasterCard , wouldn’t recommended. Must teach them customer service first

Great bar with nice vibe and great music selection!

Its a nice cozy place where you can have a delicious meal and a good 420 with your friends.

First time in Amsterdam so I was surprised by the amount of pot smoking inside the bar but the mood was festive and I had a good time just having a beer!

Big enough place but not very welcoming Coffee lovely but at €6.50 it needs to be

The best place to have a drink and smoke joint only inside! Great music, great drinks

Great atmosphere

Very small and crowded. place to be. Great customer service. I love their coffee and interior. recommended.

It had a nice quaint atmosphere. They have space cakes that contain 300mg thc. Cost was 7 euro. They are right on the canal. The bouncer turned away some young blondes in front of me. I told him I was from Seattle and he rushed me inside with a wink and a nod. Will go back.

Dear Google, You guys do a great job with reviews, but trust me, the people who're looking to visit The Bulldog Coffee shop, wouldn't be checking a Google review, and I mean it in the best of ways. O:) Maybe this review'll help? Peace ;)

As with most franchises - you pay for convenience. These Bulldog franchises are on every corner but their products are NOT the best priced. You can definitely find better quality goods at much more competitive prices in other establishments. If you are willing to venture out a bit, visit the surrounding areas around the Heineken brewery and you will find many more local gems (Katsu) and better food as well. This is not to say that the Bulldog Mack's shouldn't be visited - it is a still great place to drink and smoke - just don't forget there are MANY other options.

Big fan of the bulldog. There are 3 I believe on the same street. You can go and get a smoke if you're into that from the one bulldog and come down for he other to have a beer. Seating outside. Very popular so always get into conversation with travelers.

I went in to simply buy 2 joints. When I got to the counter the lady started of by completely ignoring me for about a minute while I just stood in front of her. I asked for what I wanted and she told me they were out of what I was looking for. I then asked for a different strain and she handed me 2 joints I did not ask for at all. Then she told me I could get what I originally asked for only to tell me that they were out of what I wanted so I couldn't actually have it, again.. I was getting frustrated with her bad mood so I bought the joints she handed me that I didn't ask for and even gave a small tip because maybe she was just having a rough night. I got back home a smoked one of the joints only to not feel high at all. I smoked half of the other an still nothing. I put the joint out and rolled out the contents only to realize there was no cannabis actually in the joint at all. I don't recommend these places at all. Bad service and fake joints.
