At Café Bakeliet, it feels like stepping into the cosiest living room in Rotterdam-West. Think warm light, lots of wood, vinyl and a bar full of craft beer, whisky and wine. DJs and live music regularly add a little extra atmosphere. The vibe is relaxed, open and LGBT-friendly, so it is easy to feel at home here. Perfect for a quiet weekday drink, but also for an evening that spontaneously lasts a little longer. And who knows: before you realise it, you might be talking at the bar with someone you would otherwise have simply walked past.
