Bar Stroom

Bar Stroom is located in the old lazy river of the former Tropicana swimming pool. The seasonal menu is based on whats locally available, mainly plant based and waste free.

In the old lazy river of former swimming pool Tropicana, you will find Bar Stroom. The chefs cook with local produce that suits the season and waste-free is the motto. Here you drink beer from brewery Vet & Lazy, which is located in the basement of the building. With that, you'll eat oyster mushroom bitterballs, falafel made from vegetable waste and pasta made from regenerative crops. On the terrace by the river Meuse, you can enjoy views of Rotterdam's iconic bridges in a blue beach chair.
