Drinks & Nightlife
Belgium and other special beers. Nice atmosphere. Don't be too scared of the alcoholics at the bar. They're pretty nice, don't bite and can be considered as a part of the furniture.

Café Stalles
11A Nieuwe BinnenwegMy fav bar. Nice beers, excellent music.
Grand cafe. Very nice terrace. At the intersection of 2 main roads in the center. And that makes it nice, as far as I'm concerned. Lean back and watch Rotterdam go by.

You're probably focused on Rotterdam and this one's in Schiedam. It's a relative small museum, but sometimes with nice exhibitions. The tram can take you there in 10 minutes plus a little walking.
