Coffeeshop The Otherside

Typical wait

The Otherside is a compact cannabis coffeeshop open daily 10:00–00:00. Seating, not a door queue, is the practical constraint; the operator says there is usually room even when it looks busy. Bring legal ID and expect product-service checks.

Best time to visit

Daytime or early evening is best for the room, music and conversation before Reguliersdwarsstraat nightlife peaks. This is a cannabis coffeeshop, not a DJ bar; visit late only if smoking and a short pause are the actual goal.

Locals vs visitors

Locals, cannabis regulars, LGBTQ+ visitors from the surrounding street and tourists mix in a small room. Its location makes it gay-popular, but it is not a dedicated queer community organisation or women-centred bar.

What people wear

Everyday street clothes are appropriate. There is no nightlife dress rule. Carry legal identification, consume responsibly and avoid combining products with a long club itinerary if you do not know your response.

Staff inclusion

The operator foregrounds friendly service, neighbourly seating and a long Reguliersdwarsstraat history; current testimonials specifically praise workers. That is service evidence, while queer inclusion remains contextual rather than an explicit specialist policy.
