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.

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.

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 😉

If I could leave zero stars I would. This place is a scam ordered an Affligem and an americano and was charged 14 euro. Asked for itemised recipet and saw was charge for 6 euro for the coffe and 7 euro for the pint even though menu states 3 euro for the coffee and 5.8 for the beer. Talked to the bar maid Jemina and was told some donkey excuse of how the coffee was a large and the menu price was wrong. Also questioned the one euro and they stated as service charge! Be warned they will scam you!

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.

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 .

Large number of bulldog bars around this area. We went on a Friday night. You pay 50c for the bathroom, and drinks are not cheap in any way however we had a booth which gave us service to the table. Girl serving was amazingly friendly and helpful with local knowledge also.

Regularly in the Mac,on a Amsterdam trip, very chilled and good beers 🍻 one of my favourite places...y.b.y

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)

Avoid this place at all costs we definitely got scammed, but if you have to go demand a price menu first before ordering! We visited July 2023, and it was the only bad experience we had in Amsterdam. We were finally served by a blonde waitress after a long wait and asked for a menu, but they “ran out” - we wanted to order soft drinks only, but she said they don’t sell soft drinks, so we ordered a couple of gins and they somehow had the tonics for them. We then asked can we at least have tap water, then all of a sudden they had bottles of water to sell! We also noticed other people had soft drinks. Rather than argue, we thought we’d just pay and go somewhere else, but then we got the bill of just over €50, which she confirmed was correct! That didn’t seem to be the norm in Amsterdam, all the other places we went did not charge these prices.

The Bulldog Mack cafe is an absolute gem in Amsterdam's vibrant scene. The atmosphere is inviting, with a perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort. The staff are not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about their offerings. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax or a lively place to meet friends, The Bulldog Mack cafe has it all. I can't recommend it enough!

As a tourist customer service is always an important factor. The female waitress was lovely but I got charged €10 for a €5 portion of chips and a €3.50 Bulldog energy drink by a male waiter. Tbh it’s disgusting to tip yourself €1.50 when I have basic maths. I didn’t question it because I was in confusion but I hope this is not a reflection of how they treat all tourist. Experience would’ve been satisfactory had I not been overcharged.

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

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.

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…

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

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

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)

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.

Gin, Royal Bliss tonic - 12,50€ but you actually have to pay another 3,50€ for the tonic. SCAM :)

Short: Do yourself a favor and don't go there. We ordered 3 cups of coffee, that were priced at 3.5 euros on the menu and a bottle of water. The waitress tried to charge us 34 euro without showing the bill. The coffee was "large coffee" so it turned out to be 6 euro per cup, and 0.5 bottle of water was 4 euro. An extra 10 euro were just her attempt to get advantage of tourists.

This burger?? Make my day.love it

The 40+ latina waitress with lots of makup will charge you for a double if you ask for a coffee. I ordered a simple black coffee ended up paying 6 euros for a half cup of so called "double" i never asked for. It is the second time in 3 months, so there is not a mistake or doubts left. Management may want to have a look around, she is using the Bulldog fame to overcharge tourists, it's a shame. As a regular of Amsterdam, i won't be back and I'll make sure to let know as many people as I can of the scam.

The better terrace for take a rest with your drink. The merchan is a bit expensive but you know , tourist place...

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.

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

A bit over priced and terrible customer service. (the bar) they were very rude.

Very good breakfast. We tried english breakfast and spanish breakfast.

Really good burger, i recommand

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 stuff was really unfriendly. They told us, we aren‘t allowed to buy non-alcoholic drinks, because it’s a bar!! You have to go to the real coffeeshop next store. But when you still allowed to smoke, minimum a water would be nice. By the way, the Prices are veery touristic.

The place is cool, but if you see the price on the menu you’re actually paying it double. The employee was super kind but she just told us only in the paying moment. Coffee was 3€ and we had to pay 6€. Terrible experience.

Total sham. Not open until 03:00. I got refused at 02:45. Get your rules in line. Bad coffeeshop for sure it they cannot adhere to their own opening times. Not that they would care as coffeeshops don’t care about customers most often. But if ur a tourist go there for sure for your overpriced weed ;)

The best spot in the town. Recommended to everyone who is coming to Amsterdam, you need to come here. Staff is AMAZING, service is BRILLIANT. I will definitely come back here every time I am in Amsterdam.

Jojo is the best, warm hearted and even i came tired and all she cheered me up, not just Jojo the whole staff was so polite and cool. But Jojo is the finest woman ive spoken in a long time. Much love

So we stayed at the bulldog hotel . To start with the staff of the hotel were absolutely amazing, friendly and professional . The whole experience was 10 out of 10. Having sad that, every evening we always paid a visit to the bulldog Mac bar. Let me say it clear . AMAZING staff . Special shout to JASON and JOE . 2 fabulous people with a big heart and professional people . Love you both guys and thank you for the entire week .

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!

Great place to share a beer with friends

I came in to this place because the first bulldog was so packed. and they serve alcohol here definitely a lot more space compare To The last place drinks are a little over priced food bland and tasteless chips were under Cooked . that's probably why it isn't busy here

Everything you can ask for, all in one place ...

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.

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.
