Rotterdam Nightlife Tips by Mariajoy

Doelen cafe: Nice place for a pre-gig drink

This lovely cafe/restaurant/bar is a great place to meet friends for tapas and a pre-gig drink or two! It's a very popular meeting place for locals and the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is really good. On Sundays between 2.30pm and 5pm there is live jazz too.
We paid 22E for drinks and tapas for three people.

Dress Code: Not scruffy.

Address: Schouwburgplein

Theme: Eating and Drinking

Nighttown: Neckache at Nighttown

We came to Rotterdam to see Tom McRae here at the Nighttown venue. There's a nice bar attached where you might meet your heroes for a pre or post gig drink. The stage is VERY high - almost uncomfortably so - I guess so that people at the back have a good view, but if you are at the front you will inevitably leave with a sore neck! Still it was a great gig! The tickets for this gig were ordered through "TicketService" and cost 15E.
