Hey all, headin to the Dam in May, just wondering the best pubs to go to, also is the Heineken experience any use. Are there any pubs that you can smoke weed in. And any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Yeah the Heineken experience is well worth it.

You can't smoke in pubs, they've a similar smoking ban to here but you can smoke in coffee shops.

Here's details of what's legal and what's not
