About

THE BULLDOG

The Bulldog Energy occupies a larger Centrum footprint on Oudezijds Voorburgwal — the same historic canal street as The First, a short walk south. Higher energy, bigger throughput, same Bulldog identity. A solid mid-route stop for groups moving through central Amsterdam.

The Bulldog The First

The original location of the world's most famous coffeeshop brand, open since 1975. Founded by Henk de Vries on Oudezijds Voorburgwal — the canal street that defined Amsterdam's coffeeshop culture. Celebrating 50 years in 2025. The Bulldog The First is the landmark stop that started it all: the history, the brand, the ritual of Amsterdam cannabis culture.

Know before you goThis is where Amsterdam's legal coffeeshop culture started. The First is a required landmark stop on any first visit — feel the history, then move to quieter venues to actually settle in.
