9 X the best wine bars in Rotterdam for a cosy drink
Proef bij Platenburg
This wine merchant has been around for 130 years and deserves a place in our YourLBB list of the best wine bars in Rotterdam for that reason alone. A classic with stature, you might say, with a clear track record. Besides tastings, you can also buy the tastiest wines to enjoy at home (or to give as a gift).

Côte du Cool
It’s hard to leave empty-handed here, as this is a wine bar and a wine shop. They import from small-scale winemakers, so you’re guaranteed to taste flavours you’ve never experienced before. And if you like what you’ve tried, you can take a bottle (or two) home with you.

Walsjérôt
This place is just as special as its name suggests. No table service here, but instead a large number of wine taps that let you pour your own glass. If you think that means cheap plonk, you’d be mistaken! This unique experience with remarkable flavours is not to be missed.

Wine Club NOTK
Located at Deliplein, this cosy wine bar offers water views as you enjoy high-quality wines and perfectly matched dishes. A fun tip: hop on a water taxi back to the city centre afterwards.

Janssen en van Dijk
At first glance, it might look like a traditional pub, but they actually specialise in wines from Flanders and Dutch soil.

Het Eigendom
Witte de Withstraat is always a good idea, especially if you visit the Het Eigendom wine bar. The bar offers some 130 wines on the menu, 35 of which can be ordered by the glass.

L’Ouest
Just a stone’s throw from Rotterdam Central Station, you’ll find L’Ouest, a restaurant and wine bar. Come here for a whole tasting experience or just a drink and a bite. Fun fact: they serve unique wines from ‘forgotten’ wine countries.

De Kunstfabriek | Unit 699
A venue where art and (natural) wine come together – need we say more? A golden combination of great wine and visual inspiration.
