The
Kashmir Lounge is located in a nice neighborhood outside
the center between Vondel Park and Kinkerstraat. It
is a local shop but many tourists have already discovered
it and come back again and again. The big attractions
to this shop are its laid back atmosphere, full bar
and large seating capacity. (70-80 people) The interior
of this shop is alive with a very real Indian feeling.
The walls are stuccoed and adorned with several large
Ganesh sculptures.
The seating is floor cushions with an abundance of pillows
and low floor tables. You can definitely chill out here.
As you go toward the back of this room there are 2 more
seating areas with big pillowed couches and ornate silver
chairs. They have a DJ every night from 9pm until closing.
Every Sunday the party starts at 4 pm with a DJ and
free snacks. The Kashmir lounge has a full alcohol bar
as well. On the menu you will find 10 weed varieties,
including Bio Skunk and 10 Hash varieties. The favorite
here is their Nederhash "Dutch Delight" which
won the Dutch Highlife Cup in 2002.
The clientele at the Kashmir Lounge is a diverse as
I have ever seen. All ages, all nationalities. A terrific
mix of people and a very friendly atmosphere. I always
meet new people there. This is their first time in the
Cup competition
