    The Witte Aap (white ape) was named one of the best bars in the world by Lonely Planet, so I just…read morehad to stop in. The first night I tried it was packed to capacity (even with sidewalk seating), so I decided to make a return trip during the day. It was decidedly more quiet and I grabbed a seat at the bar and got some recommendations from the bartender. Their beer selection is indeed top-notch. They had 10 taps and oh so many bottles. I asked for a local beer and got a deliciously dark and creamy Bax Bier Koud Vuur. Also had another beer that I don't recall. Not very helpful, I know. All in all, if you want to visit this place, go off-hours and not when everyone's trying to rage. That way, you can ask questions about beers and chill out instead of fighting your way to the bar.

    Unfortunately the number one bar in Rotterdam was closed, but this was next door, and to be honest…read morewith you having a beer here was certainly worth it. In fact the bartender was a real character, and even posed for one of my photos. Actually, sitting on one of the cushions on the window sill, on a rather nice summer day, with one of the beer wine glasses that you get in the Netherlands, was an experience, yet a part of me felt that I was actually back home in Melbourne - not that this was a bad thing, but this place certainly felt like one of those really hip and cool bars that you find in the Collingwood/Fitzroy areas. They even have decent beers available as well. However, the thing is that what sets this place apart from the Melbourne bars are the beer wine glasses (and I am really going to miss them back in Australia).
