Barney's Breakfast Bar Coffee Shop

Many time cannabis cup winner Barney's Breakfast Bar is a very popular coffee shop serving full English breakfasts (including veggie and vegan versions) accompanied by large mugs of tea. The standard breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, beans, tomato and toast (€9.50). To aid the appetite or the digestion there is a good variety of cannabis on offer. Both the eating and the smoking menus are extensive and the staff work really hard to look after the stream of blitzed and/or hungover tourists who pass through every day.

 

Ten years or so ago, Barney's was a friendly transport 'caff'-sort-of-place with good, cheap, food and smokes. Back then it was mostly used by locals and a few people from the British Isles. In recent years, Irish owner Derry has been working on the coffee shop aspect of the shop. First he began stocking more top-notch varieties, then he entered the Cannabis Cup. In the winter of 1999 he had the place completely refurbished.

 

It's now very popular and attracts a predominantly American and British crowd. During the morning it gets very busy. Expect to be encouraged to adopt the Dutch tradition of table sharing. You are also requested to stay in your seat (except when visiting the dealer's counter) to leave the narrow gangway free for staff. It's a bit quieter very early in the morning and later in the afternoon.

 

 

Barney's Breakfast Bar has a Volcano vaporizer.
