Blanca from Rotterdam

Vet and Lazy Bierkaai Rotterdam

Perfect sunset skyline bar

"Vet & Lazy boasts Rotterdam’s best skyline view, 100+ craft beers, and a easy vibe. Get a drink in the golden sunsets and hang out on the terrace."

When I say this bar has the best view of Rotterdam, I mean the best. Vet & Lazy offers a front-row seat to the city's skyline, and on a sunny day, grabbing a beer on their terrace is unbeatable. Once the sun starts to set, the whole view turns golden. It's honestly one of the best sunset spots in the city, in my opinion.

The bar is all about beer, featuring over 100 varieties from small Dutch breweries. If you don't like beer, they also offer a nice variety of soft drinks, wine and cocktails. So, there is something for everyone.

The space itself has a laid-back, slightly industrial vibe with plenty of room to chill, both indoors and outdoors. It often draws a fun mix of locals and visitors, especially in the warmer months.
