9 of the best wine bars in Rotterdam for a fun drink

Taste at Platenburg

This wine merchant has been around for about 130 years and for that reason alone, it's a must-see on our YourLBB list of the best wine bars in Rotterdam. You could say it's a classic, one that's clearly earned its stripes. Besides tastings, you can also buy the finest wines here to take home (or as a gift).

Côte du Cool

It's hard to leave empty-handed, because besides being a wine bar, this is also a wine shop. They import from smaller wineries, so you're guaranteed to taste flavors you've never tasted before. And if you like them, you can take a bottle (or two) home with you.

Walsjerot

This place is just as special as its name suggests. There's no table service, but a large number of wine taps to help yourself. Anyone who thinks that's going to be a turn-off is sorely mistaken! This unique experience with its distinctive flavors is definitely not to be missed.

Wine Club NOTK

This cozy wine bar is located on Deliplein. Overlooking the water, you can enjoy exceptional wines and delicious, complementary dishes. A bonus: take a water taxi back to the city center afterward.

Janssen and van Dijk

At first you might think this is a traditional Dutch pub, but they actually specialize in wines from Flanders and their own soil.

Ownership

Witte de Withstraat is always a good idea, but it becomes even more so if you visit wine bar Het Eigendom. They have around 130 wines on the menu, 35 of which are available by the glass.

West

Just a stone's throw from Rotterdam Central Station, you'll find L'Ouest, a restaurant and wine bar. Enjoy a comprehensive tasting or a bite to eat and a drink. A bonus: they serve unique wines from "forgotten" wine regions.

The Art Factory | Unit 699

A place where art and (natural) wines collide – need we say more? A golden combination of good wine and a feast for the eyes.
