Irina from Rotterdam

About me I love Rotterdam! I have been an active member of Couchsurfing for 10 years so the passion for sharing local insider knowledge about the cities that are my home is very alive in me. I have a blog where I write about my experience as an expat in The Netherlands, I organise events to create connection within communities. I know all the nice events that someone coming to Rotterdam shou...

Mooie Boules Rotterdam

Play all night with friends

"At "Mooie Boules" in Rotterdam you can play boules, air hockey, board games and also have a snack! Fun together with friends: guaranteed!"

Mooie Boules is a French traditional game with metal balls called boules.  The objective is to score points by having boules closer to the target than your opponent after all boules have been thrown.

Mooie boules foodhall is offering you the opportunity to spend your evening entertaining yourself with this game in the company of a group of friends.

There's also table tennis, air hockey and table football. OK, I forgot to mention that they also have a corner with board games. But if none of this impresses you, just go for karaoke.

If you're done playing games and you're ready for a snack, the choice is generous, as you can choose from rice dishes with meat or shrimps and other intriguing dishes from the street food repertoire of the Middle East. Or why not go for Greek - pitas here come hand in hand with a fresh salad. You will appreciate the combination.

For drinks, you have to decide between wine and beer - a great selection there too.

An evening spent in great company with good food and active game-playing - this is the promise that Mooie Boules makes and successfully keeps.
