WOW.. How can we explain this? If you want to be entertained while having a drink this is the place to be. You will not have a dull moment staring into your glass when the conversation is running low. The two owners are true performers and make your stay a night to remember. To make our words more visual: the bar can be turned into a bathtub!!?

The one and only Jazz club of Rotterdam. This place is amazing! Not only because of the open jam sessions every Wednesday, the upcoming jazz bands playing on Thursdays and the sweaty weekends, they have a fantastic kitchen and delicious pizza’s too!

A small park 20 min away by foot! In summer you will find a lot of festivals and everyone is having BBQ on the grass. There is also the 'vroesenpaviljoen' which has the best spot in the city with a delicious breakfast/lunch menu.

Sightseeing
The Luchtsingel connects Rotterdam North to the centre and revitalizes a forgotten area. This part of the city did not count for years and was dominated by vacancy and neglection. With the realization of the Luchtsingel they reconnect the Central Station, North and between North and Binnenrotte. Besides that the Luchtsingel is a catalyst for economic growth, and nowadays the best nightlife area of Rotterdam! The city could crowd fund the bridge by buying a plank of wood to build it! If you take a close look you can find one of Hostel Ani&Haakien!

Arts & Culture
Floating tree’s! The project ‘Bobbing Forrest’ is a concept of artist Jorge Bakker, who is known for his sculptures and installations with an architectural impact. The Bobbing Forest is made of mostly pre-existing materials and orphan tree’s. You can find the 20 tree’s in the Rijnhaven. Al tough it’s not really a jungle yet.. We LOVE this initiative and we think its worth a visit
