Rotterdam has many great hangouts. Delftshaven, Veerhaven and Westelijk Handelsterrein are only a few of the harbour areas where you'll find a wide selection of restaurants and bars. As soon as the weather allows, pavement cafés appear, so you can enjoy a drink or a bite to eat whilst watching the world go by. Rotterdam's club scene is renowned in Holland and fast gaining a reputation in the UK. Not surprisingly, many of Holland's top DJs hail from the city. An abundance of bars, clubs and quirky galleries can be found in areas like the Witte de With Straat and Binnenweg in the heart of Rotterdam. From traditional narrow wooden brown cafés to stylish bars and swanky clubs, make sure you don’t miss out on these!

B.U.M.B. (Bar Underground Music Bunker, Weena Zuid 33)
Located in a former tunnel passage way directly under the Weena, you’ll find B.U.M.B. Each Thursday it hosts Bionic night with different types of music: disco, electric, pop and urban. On Fridays house music rules the scene. On Saturdays different styles of music are mixed. On Sundays and the rest of the week different promoters organise hot events in B.U.M.B.
