About De Dampkring – Frederiksplein

De Dampkring – Frederiksplein opened in 2010, extending the celebrated Dampkring brand to a second Amsterdam location on the elegant Frederiksplein square. The Frederiksplein, centred on its ornate fountain and surrounded by the stately architecture of the 19th-century canal ring expansion, provides a more refined and spacious setting than the original Haarlemmerstraat location.

The interior mirrors the original's extraordinary aesthetic vision — antique lamps, hanging curiosities and layers of visual interest that reward careful exploration. The larger footprint allows for more seating and a more comfortable experience during busy periods. The crowd here is a good mix: Dampkring loyalists making a deliberate visit, nearby residents and visitors who discovered the original and returned for this second experience.

The cannabis quality matches the Haarlemmerstraat benchmark — award-winning genetics, exceptional hash and a menu priced €11–20 per gram that reflects genuine excellence. The Frederiksplein location is particularly convenient for visitors staying in the museum quarter or exploring the canal ring's southern reaches. The Heineken Experience, Rijksmuseum and Albert Cuyp market are all within a 20-minute walk.
