Mellow Yellow Lounge

ACD Page: Mellow Yellow Lounge

This isn't exactly a review, because the place isn't open yet, but I walked past this place about an hour ago on the way back to my hotel. It's about halfway down the Vijelstraat, near the Albert Heijn. It's seems strange that they've abandoned the yellow theme.

There were about half a dozen men inside working at refurbishing the place, (at half past 7 on a sunday night - !)

I leave on the 25th so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled to see if it's open before then.

I caught a few snaps with my iphone..

Went in asking for some food , they never had a menu but said they would rustle up a burger or something ! we declined and headed down De Pijp instead

I went to MY lounge once, was just looking for a place to have a beer and a smoke at the end of a night.

Hated the place.

The interior is like a cheap nightclub in Bangkok (just total bad taste, too many bright colorful lights shining on the walls, silver leather and general nastiness). I'm not that critical of the decoration usually, but I just can't work out what they were thinking here. The front bar was totally empty except for an old couple.

Went up the bar to order a beer, the guy just stared coldly at me. No smile, no 'hello'. I felt weird asking "can I please have a beer?" like I was asking him a big favor. Then I asked him if its ok to smoke weed here. He pointed at the dark little enclosed room at the back. I thought it was a smoking bar, being that its Mellow Yellow, but its no weed allowed in the main bar.

So I took my beer into the smoking room. There was like 6 men in there who must have been friends of the owner. They were watching football, shouting loudly in Dutch and smoking a shitload of cigarettes. I started to roll something up, but then decided 'fuck this', as I felt totally unwelcome and uncomfortable.

Downed my beer and got the hell outta there.

Maybe the place will improve in time, who knows....

If you wanna drink with your smoke, go to the Nes.
