Proeflokaal de Riddert
Claiming---with good justification---to be among the smallest bars in the city, this timeless but tiny old brown café somehow still finds room to fit in a stage for hosting its Sunday night live music events.
The Best Bar in Rotterdam, Netherlands
To get your bearings in the Rotterdam party scene, look out for glossy fliers in cafés. The best nights tend to be Thursday–Saturday. Many venues including some bars have DJs working the crowd once food service has ended. There is a wide gamut of nighttime entertainment. West Kruiskade (also known as Chinatown) is the place to go if you want lively bars and music from around the world. Nieuwe Binnenweg and Witte de Withstraat have many busy late-night cafés and clubs. Oude Haven is particularly popular with students, and the Schouwburgplein is favored by visitors to the nearby theaters and cinemas. Stadshuisplein has a number of tacky discos and bars.
