Rotterdam gay nightlife

The Rotterdam gay scene features a couple of bars, all situated around the Van Oldenbarneveltstraat and in the neighborhood of the Westblaak.

Gay bars, clubs and saunas

Good place for early evening is Ferry, also for snacks and dinner, or meeting for coffees or cocktails. Old Dutch "gezelligheid" can be found at Loge.

Strano and Regenboog are popular hang outs at night and a meeting point for many. 

For late late night there is KeerWeer, it's a very small bar, but very friendly bar which closes very, very late in the morning.

At the moment there is one gay sauna left.

Visiting Rotterdam

Rotterdam is the second largest city of Holland, but the city center is quite compact, you can walk almost everything. Rotterdam is located only 40 minutes by train from Amsterdam and also connected by high speed trains to Brussels, Paris and London.
