We were on a self guided walking tour of Rotterdam and this place popped up on our radar as a nice place to grab a bite to eat and get out of the cold rain for a bit. It did not disappoint. We grabbed seats at the bar to better survey our surroundings. The place looked to be full of locals, so we knew we were in good hands. It's kind of a small place, with maybe 10 tables, but the mirrored wall makes it look much bigger. We had eaten a little earlier in the day, but still had a touch of the munchies, so we ordered a charcuterie board and lobster bitterballen, along with a beer for him and a coke for me. There were several kinds of meat on the board, from salami to prosciutto. All were delicious, and all seemed to melt in your mouth. The lobster bitterballen were even better than the waygu beef bitterballen we had earlier! We found this place after turning down the wrong street on our way back to the train station, and what a happy discovery it was; I've got it bookmarked, just in case I'm ever back in Rotterdam! 32/2019

This spot was a random find while exploring the streets and neighborhoods and instantly caught our eye. The interior was really nice, service super friendly, and good variety of beer & wine. We had just eaten dinner so we only grabbed a couple snacks while enjoying a nightcap--a local craft beer for me and a natural wine for the wife. Great stuff and I hope they're doing well during these COVID times.

Filled with trendy wood, metal, candles and chalkboards this bar is very cool. There are a variety of tables and high tops which are hard to come by. Every time I have visited it seems to be full, but there are plenty of tables outside if it's warm enough (especially since they have heaters!). Prices aren't bad for the nice location Bokaal offers. A large Heineken will set you back about 5 euros, which is a good price for being located in the heart of Rotterdam. Beyond just the drinks, they have a decent selection of food which all looked nice, but I didn't get the chance to try. About ten beers on tap that all come in their own branded glass which is a nice touch so you can tell what people are drinking. Also a selection of liquor and bottled beverages to choose from.

Well, as a bar it was actually really really good. The bar tender was really friendly, and incredibly helpful. In fact he explained most of the menu to us, which is mostly tapas mind you, and more designed as nibbles, but it is also good if you are only looking for a small bite to eat (which was the case with us). Okay, the beer menu isn't huge, but it is does have some decent options available. However, not only was the soup really nice, but the staff were incredibly friendly.

The wine list is short but good and affordable, we started with a light red negro from Italy and followed that with a more deep and full bodied lost luggage, which will be my tip to order when you go there. The menu is filled with gourmet nibbles, we went for the mixed platter which they kindly adapted for my friend who was longing for some dutch cheese as he was soon to board a plane to Italy for work the coming months. It boasted steak with chimichurri cooked perfectly, mackerel salad a delight, pate, manchego and small pieces of bread to accompany it all.
