Nestled in the vibrant Fenix Food Factory, Kaapse Brouwers has carved out a niche as a beloved independent craft brewery in Rotterdam. Originating from de Kaap Katendrecht, this innovative team of brewers—Tsjomme Zijlstra, Etienne Vermeulen, and Genevieve Vachon—has transformed the Merwe-Vierhavens area into a hub for beer enthusiasts.
So lucky to find this brewery on our first full day in Rotterdam. This got to be one of the best brewery I've visited. We tried a stout, double ipa, and saison; all of them were absolutely smooth and delicious. Bartender was very pleasant and helpful with some sampling too. Really awesome place with great vibe. Love it!!!
David L — Google review
Nice beers but way overpriced. Seems like they're mainly relying on tourists and rich folks to go and hang out there as the view is amazing.
Lisanne P — Google review
Ever since they moved, it is not the same anymore. Inside it all feels cramped, and I really think the magic has sort of gone now. If you would have to sit inside because of poor weather, in the end what you get a a good yet overpriced beer. If the weather allows, the outside area is nice and may attract you to visiting them
Michel B — Google review
The right atmosphere and selection for such a nice place in Rotterdam. De Kappse at Fenix Food offers a wide selection of their beers and also from some invited breweries. There are also some cans and bottles available and even with the place crowded, the service is efficient. Great job!
Douglas C — Google review
The greatest place for beer in Rotterdam. Period. Apart from their own tasty selection, there's always a wealth of great international craft beers on tap. Add to that the nice surroundings of the Fenix Food Factory, their own little place in there (with friendly staff and awesome jazz sessions) and - if weather permits - the whole dock outside to spread out onto (with one of the best views of the city), and you've easily got my favourite spot in the city.
Tom L — Google review
Went here with some friends and it was a really nice place with a big selection of beers on tap. The venue is quite cozy and there’s plenty of couches and chairs to choose from. There’s also board games for a more chill experience. The beers range from blondes to stouts to IPA’s so there’s something for everyone. The beers are decent however none I tried really blew me away and the venue on a Thursday was really empty which was a shame but maybe it was just an off night. Overall good venue and a nice place to try many beers so I do recommend.
Nicolas B — Google review
Amazing selection of unique beers, great vibe and a must-see for beer lovers. Might be quite smelly inside because of the brewing process though, but that just adds to the charm. Don't forget to check out the bottle shop and the rest of the food factory like Cidercider.

Waited over 1hour for food that we had to order and prepay in advance, staff was not organized nor helpful. Even tho I understand the kitchen can be understaff, waiters could inform clients ahead….Their digital menu was also showing everything as sold out. I do not recommend this place.

Bokaal Rotterdam is a popular and laid-back pub that offers an extensive craft beer selection and classic pub grub. Located in the vibrant Nieuwemarkt area, this charismatic spot is beloved by both locals and tourists. The bar's relaxed ambiance, combined with its indoor and outdoor seating options, makes it a welcoming destination year-round. With a wide variety of beers, wines, and spirits on offer, patrons are sure to find the perfect drink to accompany their Dutch bar snacks.
One of the nicer places that I visited in Rotterdam. One of the ladies was really attentive and took her time to explain the beer selection. 3 out of 4 beers were hits. Unfortunately it became crowded eventually so I left after my 4th. Would have eaten there but the main food selection starts after 4pm.

It’s a nice Dutch place…nothing fancy. The drinks were fine, maybe a little overpriced, but that’s expected in the city. Nice staff helped create and warm atmosphere.
Neil D — Google review
While the staff is friendly and welcoming, the food didn't quite meet expectations in terms of value. The prices here are a bit high for what you get. On the bright side, we enjoyed watching the Holland vs. Turkey match during our visit. The atmosphere was vibrant, with everyone engrossed in the game, making it a memorable experience. A notable point is that the table service stops quite early at 19:30. After that, all orders need to be placed at the bar for self-service.

Fast and friendly service. Great place to sit and scape 33 suffocating degrees. Plenty of place to choose from on a Saturday afternoon. The menu has many options, we order some loaded fries with chicken and they were delicious. Also great variety of beers! I tried two but I will come back to try others and definitely one of their burgers! Really recommended!

Nestled on the vibrant Witte de Withstraat, Proeflokaal Reijngoud is a must-visit for beer enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. This laid-back café has been charming locals since its opening in 2012, offering an impressive selection of over 200 beers, including 24 on tap. The inviting atmosphere extends to their spacious terrace, perfect for enjoying a cold brew regardless of the weather.
Great spot for good beer in a warm, sunny day. Abundance of beer, huge variety, both tap and bottled. Might be busy, especially on a Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening, but it’s worth it. I definitely recommend the beer La Trappe Blond. The cocktails are also good, at least the one we tried.
Katerina D — Google review
Came here around 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon. Quite busy inside but the upstairs area was completely open. We just came here for drinks. Started off with a round of beers and then a round of shots. Then finished off with beers at the end. Nice system where you can order on your phone. The service was great as well, it is pretty loud inside though.

Great place to have a drink (or a few), and the food is tasty, too. Went there with a friend, we had a couple of beers on their terrace in the sun, and then moved inside for burgers.

I have to return more times and try other itens of their menu, but for what I've tasted so far, it's an excellent option here in Centrum. Nice external area with quite a good selection of beers and nice snacks - the fries with meat ragu is excellent. The service is OK and when they manage to get to your table, they are usually friendly.

Can’t even heat up soup. After the first attempt soup was found to be cold it then took 15 minutes to come back with something that (drum roll) was indeed some warmed up tomato soup. Other food was bang average. Had Korean chicken loaded fries and a beef burger.

In the vibrant city of Rotterdam, nestled in the charming area of Delfshaven, you'll find Stadsbrouwerij De Pelgrim. This landmark brewery, established in 1996, is housed in a magnificent 700-year-old building next to the Pilgrim Fathers Church. The brewery takes pride in crafting award-winning beers using locally sourced ingredients such as aromatic hops and pure yeast from the region.
Based in a historic building with tables outside the front of the bar, some immediately outside on the pavement and a couple on the other side of the narrow road and next to the canal. Inside the main bar the original character of the building has been retained and the tables are equally in character solid wood, as is the bar itself. We did not eat there, but went in for a drink and sampled two of their extensive range of beers. The beer is superb and the next time we are in the area we will call in again to sample some more of their beers.

A perfect spot for the afternoon. Friendly, relaxed service and no rush. The food was great, and a well balance beer lineup. The stout and Belgian tripel stood out as our favorites. Loved that you can try all six house brews with a flight plus an extra 25cl pour. Great way to sample the full range on tap. Highly recommend for anyone passing through Rotterdam.

First off -- best nachos I've tasted in the continental Europe! The vegan hamburger (even better than the meat one) and hot dog are my other favorites. Beers are always light and aromatic. You can't go wrong with Stoombier. Amazing (almost medieval) atmosphere and smell with the loveliest back garden. Also great scenery since it's situated near the historical port. A gem in Rotterdam.

Definitely worth the visit. The brewery is perfect connected with the neighborhood and history of Delfshaven. Traditional methods and aiming to balance traditional recipes and new styles (NEIPA). Good beers, regular food, quick and friendly service. A very nice place to stay outside and spend sometime in Delfshaven.

Okay, this place was fascinating. Being over 60, I was way too old for this venue - its definitely for the younger crowd. That said, felt perfectly at ease here. An abundance of restaurants/fast food places, outdoor kiosks, beer tapes, and a DJ turning electronica. Grabbed a bit of food and several beers from a few places. There are steps that have a Sacre Vibe where the patrons gathered as the sun went down. Very chill. Very cool. It was always our plan to end up here, and although the few blocks between our hotel and this were the seediest part of town we saw, the biergarten itself was excellent.

De Gele Kanarie, also known as The Yellow Canary, is a popular bar and brewery in Rotterdam. It's a bustling spot with a large terrace and restaurant area that gets packed on weekends. They brew their own beers, but also offer a variety of other beer options. The interior feels cozy with a fireplace and a spacious bar dividing the restaurant into smaller corners for groups. In addition to beer, they serve snacks, cold cuts, grills, burgers, cakes and pies.
Good beer, amazing smashed burgers with sweet potato. Fast and pleasant service.

There is nothing better to do on a sunny summer's day when you get off work around 5 and there's still about 5 hours worth of sun. You're off for a feed with your colleague and your throat is conveniently thirsty. Something that a nice glass of homebrew beer would fix. De Gele Kanarie checks all these boxes, with surprisingly good bar food, predictably good beer and just a chill atmosphere. There's also a bunch of whacky decor of humans with yellow canary heads, which I think is the Dutch name of the joint. I think if you drink enough beer in here you might end up with a yellow canary head yourself. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing who knows.

We had a great experience at the Gele Kanarie. The place is nice, we sat outside because the weather was really fine. The service was great and friendly staff. The beers made by them were really good and I think the price was reasonable. The food was more for ok, I think the French Fries missed a little bit of sauce/salt. No sure if it is possible to pay a visit to the place they brew their beers.

Wish there was a little bit more info about them, who brewed it etc. Staff is friendly and good with recommendations. The food, was a bit of a disappointment though. Prices are steep for what you are getting. We ordered some snacks to share and the portions are not big enough for the price. All in all, i do recommend you to give it a try!

I started visiting Noordt not long after moving to Rotterdam. They have a super nice space with plenty of external area and a nice area inside with board games and TV. Their beers are quite fair, and some recipes really stand out. For me, it is one of the best places to stop in a Sunday afternoon after lunch and some activities with the family and grab some beers with a kaas and sausage plank. After some hours there, grab some beers and get back home.

Really nice brewery in Rotterdam. Cozy place with a great variety of beers. Friendly staff! The prices were also nice. We tasted 4 different beers and all of them were really good. I do recommend a visit if you like to try some home-made beers.

Boudewijn is a popular Belgian beer bar in Rotterdam, offering a wide selection of over 24 tap beers and 200 bottled beers. The bar has been serving patrons since 2006 and is known for its authentic Belgian atmosphere. While it's a great place to enjoy lunch, Boudewijn is especially renowned for its delightful borrel lunches featuring items like hamburgers, nachos, chicken wings, and spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce.
I’ve been here several times, so the time for a nice review has come. Food tastes delicious, cold Belgian beer is always present and waiters are nice and friendly. If you are in Rotterdam, Boudewijn is a must!

Excellent restaurant with a very good beer menu and great food. If the other itens of their menu are well served as their ribs, I need to try it all. Their terras at the sidewalk of Nieuwe Binnenweg is nice and cool, the service is efficient and friendly and the beers are served perfectly. I can't stress enough how the rubs were well served and tasted really good.

The selection of beer is great. Service is also great. Food taste is great too, but - portions are not really good, selection of food on website and on site are not the same, they didn't have anything sweet for the end, etc. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures of some of the plates - some of the portions were really for laughing how small they are. If you are coming for beer, this is great place. Think twice about food.

Restaurant
Kaapse Maria is a modern buvette located in the city center of Rotterdam, housed in a historic building. It is an extension of Kaapse brouwers and offers a delightful culinary experience paired with craft beer, natural wines, and other collaborative products. The bar boasts 24 beer taps and an open kitchen that serves creative dishes.
A Hidden Gem for Foodies This cozy local bar exceeded our expectations with its exceptional food. The shared plates were a delightful culinary journey, showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients in innovative yet simple dishes. The balance of flavors was impeccable, and the presentation was stunning. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a special occasion. The carefully curated selection of craft beers and spirits complemented the meal perfectly. We were pleasantly surprised by the dry, not-too-sweet taste of the natural orange wine we paired with our dinner. The attentive and knowledgeable staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. If you're seeking delicious nouveau cuisine, a great atmosphere, and friendly service, this restaurant/bar is a must-visit.

Kaapse Maria has such a unique vibe — moody, eclectic, and full of character. The drinks are creative without trying too hard, and the music is always on point. It feels like one of those places where you instantly want to become a regular. Great spot for late-night conversations and people-watching.

I’ve rarely encountered such poor service at a bar. We had a reservation for Friday afternoon drinks, yet it took almost half an hour before our first round arrived. This wasn’t due to a lack of staff — there were five people behind the bar — but simply because no one seemed in any hurry to serve customers. The second round wasn’t any better. We ordered 13 beers, and after ten minutes only three had arrived. When we asked what was going on, we were told there was an internet problem affecting the music system — apparently a crisis that required the full attention of all five bar employees. The snacks were acceptable, though the cheese platter was very basic. Overall, an incredibly disappointing experience. I won’t be returning.
Mathis V — Google review
Good food and drinks. But the service leaves much to be desired. One woman at the bar was quite rude to me, while the rest of personel was extremely nice. And we got really frustrated when found out that they charged us 15 euros for tips when it was not asked. That’s not the way to treat clients.
Ksenia B — Google review
Great place and people, too bad Kaapse is a far cry from what it used to be pre-covid. I remember ordering 330ml barrel aged stouts for 6-7 euro and having the time of my life as a beer enthusiast. Now it's all about beer served in "tasting" portions or 250ml anorexic glasses. Getting both inflation and shrinkflation treatments has made me avoid the place completely and prefer more honest breweries elsewhere. It is sad for me every time I come here as Kaapse was always my no.1 place to go, but now it just feels like a tourist trap. It was a good run, though.

The Dutch restaurant Eet-en Biercafe Haagse Bluf has a really nice atmosphere with friendly staff. There is a great selection of beers and they often have special beers that you can only try if you order them ahead of time. The food is also very good and quite affordable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique Dutch dining experience.
Stopped by last week for dinner and sat at a table right on the edge of the canal - staff was very friendly to a couple of awkward Americans stumbling into a quiet bar. Had the fondue (delicious), dessert (great but we probably ordered too much), and had a 5 beer tasting selected by the bartender. It was a lovely time, and I was surprised by how quiet the place was when it was so busy on De Meent only a block away. Definitely worth stopping by for a pleasant low-key evening!

This place is a little hidden gem in the heart of Rotterdam. Nice drinks... when the weather is nice, very good ambience and the best flammkuchen I've had. Visited them today for a late lunch or early dinner. Ordered a fondue (meatless), a dessert and a bottled cocktail. The fondue tasted nice and the ting of alcohol (unsure what it was) mixed with the cheese led to an interesting flavor and effect. Really nice. The dessert was on point, the waffle felt fresh and it was refreshing. The bottled cocktail gets a 3.25/5 for now and I need a few more experiences to know how I feel properly. Eating on the terrace in pleasant weather is always serene. For the overall experience I feel the prices are very reasonable and I am satisfied with the service. Will be back soon :)

Wish we could give this place more than 5 stars! Unassuming exterior on quiet side street opens into small bar area with restaurant seating around the corner alongside the canal. We were greeted warmly on arrival and offered a beer menu as well as a food menu. I chose the Hutspot, mashed potatoes, carrot, chopped bacon and smoky sausage with gravy. It was hearty and warming. The good lady was more adventurous, trying a blue brie cheese fondue with a meat platter. It was sensational especially when dipping crusty bread or cherry tomatoes. There are numerous beers on tap which always include several from local brewers and 50+ canned & bottled offerings in the fridge. Barman Michael was happy to suggest beers to suit the food, and none of them failed to impress. Unusually we went for dessert and the Tiramichouffe was amazing with the normally rich offering taken to a new level with the addition of a La Chouffe ale sauce. Beers from Kaapse and Jelster were especially good including a smoked lager and a sour. We rounded off the evening with a Jenever.

This small, unassuming Dutch bar / restaurant lies adjacent to the riverside (outdoor tables available at the rear). The staff were welcoming & attentive. I ordered a toasted Parma ham / brie sandwich and expected just that...what arrived was so much more - a tasty, stuffed sandwich (plenty of ham & brie) with a side salad. I also had a cappuccino. The cost for this filling meal was a respectable €10.50 - excellent value for the amount & quality of food!

Nice little bar not too far from Rotterdam Centraal. Good selection of draft and bottled beers, although there is no menu for the bottled beers sadly, maybe A4 sized blackboard tablets on the bar with the bottled beers menu would be an idea?

Not recommended for tourists or non-Dutch speakers. Unfortunately, my experience here was quite negative. The owner displayed xenophobic, subtly racist, and homophobic attitudes, which made the environment extremely uncomfortable. If you're a tourist or someone who doesn't speak Dutch, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere for a more welcoming and inclusive experience.

Surprisingly, the foods are amazing! Came here for a comedy night the other day, so didnt manage to enjoy the outdoor seating, but the foods were great! It’s too bad that their beef wellington (the menu I was super excited to try) has bacon in it, so could not eat any of it, but the rest of the foods are really nice.

We had a wonderful experience at Vessel11. I’d highly recommend you check it out! The food was delicious. I know I’m going to crave their fish and chips soon. But it’s not only their main, the sticky toffee pudding was delicious, and I can’t wait to return to try the banananoffee tart, the chocolate lava cake, or the millionaire’s slice. The waiter who helped us made great recommendations, they were attentive and friendly. Couldn’t ask for more. The view from the top deck is lovely (if it’s a sunny day, make sure to check it out), but there’s also seating inside.

I thoroughly enjoyed the traditional ambiance of this establishment. Their extensive beer menu thoughtfully included a glossary of terms, which was very helpful. I was delighted to find Tripple Karmeliet on the menu and, despite the early hour, ordered a bottle. Wishing to sample some traditional Dutch cuisine, I selected the Bitterballen. These were served with a mild mustard dipping sauce and were truly delicious. I shall certainly order them again. The serving contained nine, though I only managed half, so I took the remainder with me. I can confirm that they remain quite palatable even when cold.

This was my fourth time visiting. I had come three times just for drinks, and this time I tried the unlimited mussel dishes. Unfortunately, the first waiter didn’t explain the details about the food and drinks clearly. We didn’t know that only tap beer was included with the meal, so we were later charged extra for our drinks. Also, the side dish can be chosen between bread and fries, but we weren’t given the option and were simply served fries. Despite these issues, I still enjoyed my time there. I noticed many of the staff working hard, though a few seemed tired and less friendly. I hope the service can be a bit better next time.

A great and cozy place to enjoy some good food and drinks together with some friends, family or by yourself. I was here on a Monday afternoon around 5.45PM, it was not busy and there were a lot of tables to choose from. The personnel is welcoming, friendly and proactive. I had the Grilled Diamond Bavette, with roasted vegetables, bearnaise sauce and chimichurri. It was tasty, although I did add some salt because it was a little bit under seasoned for my taste. The fries were nice and crispy and added the little bit of salt, which was definitely needed to provide some balance to the dish.

Thoms is slowly becoming my default go-to place/bar in Rotterdam. I like it for many reasons. A decent selection of beers at the brewery (plus some guest appearances), coupled with music that is a good mix of retro + modern disco-house and not too loud, make this a place that is very nice for a relatively relaxed evening with friends. It's also perfect for catching up with a friend whom you haven't met in a while, but don't want to go to a coffee house / cafe. The sheer size of the place means that you don't have to squeeze through people to be accommodated. Bonus: The staff is friendly as well! Always worth a visit.

They look like halves of glass tubes, and create a unique distorted view to the interior. Outside along the side wall is a long row of wooden picnic tables, and outside on the side with the entrance is a large patio. The patio has numerous tables under colorful string lights, a nice space. Just inside on the left is their brewery. They have a compact cluster of 4 stainless steel brewing vessels. Along the side wall are 8 short stainless steel fermenters stacked double high. It is an efficient use of space in the nearly three-story tall corner space that the brewery occupies. Along the glass walls are many long high top tables and booths. In the center is their large 25-stool polished wooden bar. Overhead are 8 horizontal steel lagering and serving tanks which were installed in 2018. The bar has bright red pipe tap towers with 7 house beers on tap. They also carry a guest tap of Amstel Light. Their house beer is basically just average, but it is intriguing. Usually my preference is higher alcohol beers, but here I was really drawn to the low 3% NEIPA, which is also a staff favorite. I also enjoyed their more traditional Hoppy Pale Ale. The beer can be had by glass or 3-beer sampler flight. At several of the tables are taps to pour-your-own, a fun activity for groups. The bar is also fully stocked with a wide range of liquors, cocktails and wine. The brewpub has generous opening hours and great service. The staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful. The kitchen is a bit slow in preparing the food, but for what I ordered it was totally worth the wait. Their menu consists of gastropub appetizers, salads, burgers, crunchy bread sandwiches, mussels, and a few pub entrees. Honestly, they were some of the best Moules et Frites I've ever had - succulent and heavy herbed mussels with perfectly crispy fries. Delicious. The atmosphere of the place is upbeat and friendly. There is a motif of red colors and the modern architecture is offset by leafy greenery near the windows. The background music is a fun mix of 60's to 80's pop and disco. It is a fun place for drinks and food.

Faas is a Rotterdam classic. Hidden away in an alley, the pub has a very laid-back vibe with great beer selection and friendly staff. There's live music and pub quiz nights on a regular basis, making it a great place to visit.
Super cozy place! We moved into the neighborhood a year ago and I was eyeing this pub for a long time. It has a small terrace and it's always the last terrace in the sun in the afternoon. Super important for Mediterranean me. To my pleasant surprise, they pour Kasteel Rouge from the tap!! Bad news for my liver! Other than that, they have many other beers from the tap. The inside also looks very cozy and old school, many board games to play. The staff is super nice and approachable. Really a feel good place, I'm glad we found it.

This was hands down the best bar experience we have had in Europe thus far. Stunning building with lots of history, you have to wonder who’s been here before in its time! It also survived the 1940 bombing and has had lots of intricate interior and painting put in. The building is neat and very cool to appreciate the history. The bartender was so very friendly! He was sharing photos, books and info about the bar and history as well as things that have been restored! He was very kind and made the experience more special. This is a must visit place! They do have food but kitchen is only certain days and times!

A neat little place tucked on the side of the canal with both indoor and outdoor seating. If you’re lucky you could also find an indoor table on the side of the bar overlooking the canal. They have a good range of beers on tap. The beers on tap keep changing. They also do coffee and food if you’re looking for a spot in the area. The bartender is really helpful and helps you pick what you want to drink. Also available is Rotterdam cheese and sausage that pairs nicely with the beer.

Paid more than 7 euros for a normal beer (0,3L) from the tap. I think it was because of the football match that had already finished.

If i could give 0 stars, I would. 25 minutes before closing time, bartender comes up to us and says “finish your drinks”. Five minutes later he comes and stands in front of me and demands that i down my drink, and won’t leave until i do otherwise. I asked him what time they close, he said in 20 mins, so i asked why i’m being pressured to finish my drink. And then he replied “a little pressure always works”. And i told him “it’s not a little pressure if you stand in front of me and won’t leave until i finish my drink”. And then he responded with “call it what you want, you have to finish your drink”. This bartender is awful, i will never go there again.

Ter Marsch & Co in Rotterdam has gained international acclaim for its exceptional range of steaks and burgers.

With accolades for the best burger in the Netherlands and Rotterdam, Ter Marsch & Co offers a fine-dining approach to traditional American hamburgers.
The burgers here are really good, with a fun twist—they offer a monthly special, so there’s always something new to try. There’s also a decent selection of appetizers to go along with your meal. The lemonades are fairly standard—not particularly memorable, but they do come in generous sizes. The service is excellent: the staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely puts effort into making sure you have a great experience. The overall atmosphere has a lively, casual bar vibe, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal.

I went for the veggie classic and my friend for the bonanza. Also 2 cocktails and some drinks. The burgers were divine, the cocktails next level and the service was perfect. Can't recommend this place enough. Another visit another success. My friend ordered the steak and absolutely loved it. My classic veggie burger and sweet potato fries were on point as as well. The cocktails tasted great as well. Keep up the good work. Probably the best burger place in Rotterdam for both vegetarian and meat based burgers. The sauces are on point, the meat is good quality and the veggie patties are tasty. When served the buns are the perfect amount of crisp and soft. The burgers themselves are not too saucy which makes it a very nice experience for me. The veggies used are fresh and crisp. Overall I have enjoyed each experience of eating here and id highly recommend this place. For the quality and experience I feel the prices are fair. I've been here several times and the consistency of good quality and taste is phenomenal. The service offered is friendly and helpful but not the swiftest and the seating is fine but not the most comfortable. Keep up the good work and see you soon.

Went here as a couple. God knows how this place has won awards for burgers! Food was well below average: Standard quality, little attention to detail, basic flavour.

We arrived late with our nervous dog and were welcomed so warmly at Het Witte Huis, even though the kitchen had pretty much closed. The staff went out of their way to make us a smashed burger, sardine spaghetti, and bitterballen – all of which were absolutely delicious. The burger in particular was one of the best I’ve ever eaten, clearly made with care. We tucked ourselves into a cosy corner with beers while our dog relaxed and fell asleep, and the staff never rushed us, even though we were the last ones in. We’ve rarely felt so genuinely welcomed in a bar, and the kindness of the team made the evening unforgettable.

The appetizers are delicious, and the bartender is very attentive and kind. The atmosphere is great as well. If you request it in advance, they can set up any match for you. A perfect spot overall.

Great to watch games. Great place to watch all your favourites games but not only. It' s 2 floors and on the 2nd there is a wonderful grandstand with wooden benches. There are tables with visible screens all around tough to watch something specific not on the biggest screen. Best you book in advance if you want to watch some specific game. Food is ok, Nachos are spectacular, crunchy and cheesy. Spere ribs also are a plus as well as other snacks. Good selections of bottled beers and on tap Heineken and Murphy's the night we were there so also ok. Staff is always super kind and helpful for everything you need. Best place to watch the games in the city center of Rotterdam and have a meal with a beer! Recommended

Friendly and welcoming service. We really enjoyed the mixed meat nachos accompanied with several beers on the terrace while watching the world go by. The beer tasted fresh and crisp too.

For me, the best place to watch sports in Rotterdam. Excellent and friendly staff and just fingerfood, which is what you demand when you are watching a good football game. Came here to see the basketball and the rugby World Cups also, so they do not only put just football on the TV.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Rotterdam's Cool District, King Kong Hostel - Bar offers a trendy and inviting atmosphere for travelers seeking both relaxation and social interaction. This stylish lodging features an array of accommodations, from dorms to private rooms, catering to solo adventurers, groups of friends, and couples looking for a peaceful retreat. Guests can unwind at the on-site bar with its charming street-side terrace or enjoy movie nights in the cozy basement cinema room.
I had the pleasure of staying at the hostel recently, and one of the highlights of my experience was the incredible service provided by Blanca at the front desk. From the moment I arrived, she greeted me with a warm smile and genuine kindness that instantly made me feel welcome. Blanca went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and stress-free. She was always ready to help with directions, local recommendations, and even assisted with last-minute changes to my booking with patience and professionalism. Her knowledge of the area and her ability to communicate clearly in multiple languages made everything so much easier. What truly sets Blanca apart is her positive attitude and willingness to help no matter the situation. She treated every guest with respect and care, creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere throughout the hostel. If you're staying here, you're in great hands with Blanca. She’s a true asset to the team and made my visit unforgettable. Thank you, Blanca.

King kong hostel is in a fantastic central location, right in the heart of Rotterdam’s nightlife. The street is lively and full of bars, making it a great spot if you're looking to enjoy the local scene. Dorm rooms are decent, though not the cleanest. If you’re a light sleeper, don’t forget earplugs! Noise from the bars can last until 4 AM, and it's tough to sleep without them. Fun vibe overall, but best suited for partygoers.
Ilaria G — Google review
The service here was fabulous and the staff were friendly. The location is also fabulous. It's on a very busy street for nightlife and within a 10 minute walk of Rotterdam central, but the rooms...... If travelling in a large group we usually book out the whole room of a hostel, this is for convenience, cost (due to being a regular traveller) and not having to worry too much about valuables etc. However this hostel actually had no bedroom door! We were blessed with a curtain as were the other 3 rooms on the same floor. Our room had two extra beds that had a lot of old bedding rustled up all over it and the general presentation was quite poor.
James H — Google review
Really enjoyed it here, staff were so helpful and friendly and accomodating. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The only thing would be the noise. It is right next to the party street so be aware this will be audible. Apart from that, great!
LOZ B — Google review
Convenient location, clean room-beds. In the negatives, only 2 showers and 2 wc for a whole floor (2nd floor). No door between rooms (in our room 10 people) for around 50 people who share the floor. A little overpriced.
Stelios — Google review
Ok, first I said wow such a good location but then regretted. I stayed one night (Friday night), till 3,4 am the noise and sounds are coming to your room, till 5am the travellers in the hostel are comiand going and slamming the door, there is no such a door and just a curtain, I couldn’t sleep at all, plus the room temperature was not good and my window had no curtains to block the light. Overall I don’t recommend unless you just want to put your stuff and go out and hang out till morning.
Hooman S — Google review
Don’t stay here if you are cycling. We chose this hostel because they told us that they would be able to accommodate our bicycles in a secure location. Upon arriving, they said they couldn’t fit any more bicycles in, and that we would have to leave them on the street outside. They assured us that they were safe and that someone would be on reception 24 hours. Unfortunately, when we came down in the morning our locks had been cut through and the bikes were gone. This ruined our cycling holiday and left us stranded in Rotterdam, still 3 days until our ferry home. All this because the hosts were dishonest about their ability to safely store bicycles, and forced us to leave them on a dangerous street.

Nice clean and silent place even though the location is noisy and crowdy. Helpfull guy working on a night shift. I will accomodate in here if im back in Rotterdam centre again

The wine bar Cafe verward is a lovely new establishment near the center of town, with two passionate owners who are particularly focused on serving special, out-of-this-world craft beers and giving it a very personal touch by helping to choose the perfect tipple for each individual. The wine list is extensive and reasonably priced, with sommelier Ward de Vriend offering an excellent selection of wines by the glass.
I came by with a friend of Ward's and he showed us an absolutely amazing time. As many have said, there is no wine menu but at the end of the day it isn't necessary at all. We simply told Ward what type of wines we liked and he was able to provide us with amazing selection. The food was fresh and delicious as well. I recommend the tartare and rillet. Overall it was a lovely time and I can't wait to visit again. Thank you Ward for a great time.

When it comes to wine bars, this one is EPIC! Unlike any other, the employees are educated on wine and bring you bottles that suit your taste. That’s right NO WINE LIST! Trust the process, I’ve never been steered wrong. Stop in, grab a cheese board and a glass (or two) and enjoy Rotterdam.
Derrick — Google review
Really nice bar to catch up with friends or family en enjoy a lovely wine or cold beer. The interior is minimalistic and modern, the owner and staff are very warm and will do a lot to make you feel welcome. The menu isn't that extensive but the quality is even better; try the 'buikspek' or the halloumi... you will be surprised!

Fantastic wine bar. We visited Rotterdam for two nights and came here both of evenings. Staff were fantastic on both occasions - friendly, knowledgable and very helpful. Food available mainly consists of snacks and cheese and meat boards. The food we had was very tasty and well presented. Would recommend this bar to anyone visiting Rotterdam.

Simply the best beer store in the Rotterdam/the Hague metro area and quite possibly the best beer store in the Netherlands!! I’ve been a loyal customer ever since my student years and every visit has been a pleasure. The friendliness and knowledge of the staff, the amazing and diverse assortment of beers (and other beverages) and the overall ‘gezelligheid’ of the store gives it charm and character that’s difficult to find anywhere else.
