Café Hill Street Blues, the legendary cannabis smoke-friendly lounge in Amsterdam, closes its doors. Reports confirm that Hill Street Blues closes its doors and employees confirm they have been let go.

Café Hill Street Blues was a former coffeeshop, which turned into a cannabis friendly bar and lounge. Here, you could order milkshakes, gourmet coffee, alcoholic beverages, and smoke your coffeeshop purchases. You could expect to hear a solid selection of Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Reggae, UK Garage, and other broken beat music genres while visiting Hill Street Blues. It is obvious why this lounge was a staple among locals and tourists alike.

Will a new smoke-friendly lounge open here? We are unsure, but of course will keep you updated of any new cannabis friendly lounges, restaurants, or cafes open in or around Amsterdam.

Café Hill Street Blues was a regular hang-out for tourists and locals alike. Today, the doors to the graffiti cannabis lounge, Hill Street Blues remain locked. It is surely a sad event for lovers of the Amsterdam cannabis scene. This lounge was not only a hit due to allowing cannabis consumption, but also for the music played inside, and its iconic graffiti decor. For years the cannabis smoke-friendly lounge hosted intimate DJ sets and open-mic nights including Vinyl Thursdays, Queen Of The Street, and Ill Street Sessions.
