The Rumah in Rotterdam Centrum

Amazing cocktails at The Rumah, top quality. What made the experience even better was the bartender Vito: skilled, fun, and great to talk to while crafting incredible drinks. A true professional who clearly loves what he does. Will definitely be back!

Well-balanced, unique flavors! A real success.

Very good cocktail, nice combination of flavors and a bartender who knows what he's doing!

I went to Rumah full of anticipation for the most delicious cocktails. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I ordered two more cocktails, one of which was served in a shot glass. Two sips and that was it. The other was served in a larger glass, but ultimately only four sips of a "cocktail." It wasn't amazingly good, and for the price, you should expect something. You want to taste your cocktail and enjoy it. Unfortunately, you pay an exorbitant amount for the minimal amount you get.

Excellent cocktails, cozy atmosphere, good music & nice people

Very friendly staff and good help

The atmosphere is nice and the staff is very friendly and helpful. All the cocktails I tried were very sour and watery, unfortunately not the best quality for the price range.

Great place, very cozy, good music taste and amazing cocktails. Staff knows what they are doing. Knowledgeable about things.

Very good service and attentive staff. The drinks menu is explained to you, and the staff knows what's in the drinks and what makes them special. High praise for that. The only thing I would criticize is the payment option – the minimum for card payments was a €10 tip (€15 for the second option, etc.) on a €39 bill. Since the service was really good, that's still within reason, but in principle, I don't think tips, especially at that level, should be forced on customers...

Inspired cocktails from a changing menu (currently nomad themed), excellent classics with a twist (layered mai tai), and a beautiful selection of sipping rums. Labor of love, a great place for rum enthusiasts.

Delicious and original cocktails, the staff explains everything well and is very sociable.

Rum in the nicest forms. Go get your Ford earlier and enjoy rumahs creations! Worth it!

Great place, nice couple behind the box, no hassle, everyone is equal

Nice bar with good cocktails and history abut them. excellent service and friendly staff:)

Lots of different rums to try and delicious, original rum cocktails. Delicious cocktails. Friendly people. 5 stars.

A bar specialized in rum with amazing staff, great music, and insanely good, well-crafted drinks. We were thrilled and would come back anytime. We had a fantastic evening. A real hidden gem.

Good cocktails but the atmosphere is not quite right

We had a fantastic evening at The Rumah. Delicious cocktails, great atmosphere. A nice place to grab a few drinks with friends.

Rumah is a true gem for cocktail lovers in Rotterdam. Their signature drinks are creative, balanced, and full of surprises—definitely not your typical cocktails, but elevated, artful creations. The staff are warm and friendly, taking the time to explain each drink’s story and ingredients, which makes the experience even more special. A perfect spot for anyone looking to explore unique flavors in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

High quality cocktails, great atmosphere and magnificent service, the new menu is worth a visit and so is Tania behind the bar. Well done!

Delicious old-fashioned. The best in town.

My fav cocktail bar in Rotterdam

Cocktail bar specializing in rum, if you like rum, this is your bar.

We enjoyed several cocktails with the friendly staff. They were top notch bartenders who clearly care about the spirits they serve. We enjoyed the conversations and sampling a the wide variety of rums they had. The experience changed my understanding of what to expect with rum!

Fantastic cocktails made with knowledge

As simply as I would describe this place to friends visiting Rotterdam: « An institution ». A can’t be missed in the very active cocktail scene of the city. Places comes and goes with trends The Rumah stands and keeps that secret sauce throughout the years.

If you ever want to do a cocktail workshop, this is definitely a must! Unique cocktail menu and real professionals with a lot of passion, we had a great experience.

For the beginner or connoisseur: this is the bar for rum cocktails in Rotterdam and perhaps the whole of the Netherlands. Rarely had such good cocktails and service. A top experience, thanks!

I'm a simple man: I love rum so I love this place. The narrative / theme they go for is a nice bonus.

Amazing variety of rums from all over the world! A must visit to do their rum tasting menu. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It was a joy to be there!!

A really nice rum cocktail bar. Small place with great cocktails. The staff explains the drinks once you are seated so that you make a more informed decision, they also make recommendations based on your preferences. The drinks (€14) match their flavor descriptions in the menu. Depending on how busy it is, the servers may rush the explanations.

A wonderful discovery of rum-based cocktails, and a very warm welcome. Magnificently delicious!

Delicious original rum cocktails! Very friendly table service.

the variety of rums is amazing and the bartenders equally friendly yet the place itself is rather dull and luck vibe.. the music is very plane and doesn't feel like a true bar.

We had a really great workshop with Edward! Thanks for the great time and the best drinks! 🍸

Very tasty cocktails. Spicy, really different from your standard cocktail bar

It was a great place, we got informated about the cocktail we were drinking, how it was made and the ingredients in it. Thank you for your hospitality!

Fantastic service and unique cocktails at a fair price. If you like rum you've come to the right place!

Good vibe, cocktail and very friendly stuff.

Prices were a little above average, delicious cocktails were available. The menu card is very authentic.

Nice place. They have a lot of knowledge and know how to make the perfect cocktail for you. Just a shame about the high chairs, but if you like that, this is the place for you!

A really nice experience to do a rum tasting. The host talks bizarrely about various types of rum. Highly recommended.

The most incredible cocktail experience. Everybody is so lovely and the vibe is impeccable. Couldn’t recommend more

Absolutely fabulous the best cocktail bar ever

One of the best rum cocktails I ever drank.

You immediately feel welcome when you enter, that is important!

Very interesting and tasty cocktails

I was in the bar today. I was alone with Sadiq, a bartender that know how to mix and how to entertain people. He helped me with everything I was asking for. 10/10 cocktails, 10/10 workers.

Nice thing, coincidentally they had a power outage, but we had a great evening with candles and improvisation with music via a mobile phone!

True cocktails bar! All Rum drinks. Knowledgeable barista, excellent cocktails and excellent execution! Professional and friendly. Price is great also!

wow that was quite scrumptious i must say. the energy was rad 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 just because my friend looks sad doesn’t mean she doesn’t like it … i just think she doesn’t like me….. oh well.. life goes on right haha…. :( respond if u wanna be friends

such good vibes! cosy space and service is 10/10!! fun fun fun

Top-notch cocktails, cosy place and great service. The best old fashioned I have had!

The cocktails were divine and the atmosphere was very good

Amazing drinks, lovely staff. But Bar Break is better !! Lov u Eddie !

My eyes have been opened to the depth and diversity of rum cocktails. Each drink was memorable. Love it and highly recommend!

Some of the best and certainly most original cocktails I’ve ever tasted! My favorite is the “Booby Trap,”which comes beautifully presented (as you can see in the photo). Highly recommend trying (and returning to) this bar. The bartenders are extremely warm and friendly, which truly adds to the experience as well!

Absolutely wonderful signature cocktails, really recommend to people that love history and drinks at the same time, as well impecable staff also warm and cozy feeling of the place and good music selection.

Nice bar with personalised approach. Great cocktails and interesting menu. 14 EUR per cocktail. We will be back!

Excellent and innovative cocktails. Lots of care taken to explain the detail behind each, which is sometimes intrusive and unnecessary.

This place has the vibe game on lock— cool atmosphere, amazing staff, and a menu that’ll make you do a double take. But let’s talk drinks. Sure, they look impressive, but once you excavate the glacier-sized ice cubes, you’re left with a half-empty glass and a full dose of disappointment. Less ice, more nice, please! 🥂

My nephew is a cocktail connoisseur and this bar was his top want to visit in Rotterdam. What an amazing place. Great atmosphere and the staff were so lovely. Particular shout out to the really amazing guy with the beard- sorry couldn't remember his name. Made us some delicious drinks and shared lots of his knowledge on the rums. He is a five star asset to this business! Thank you!

Super friendly and accommodating staff, great drinks, and such a welcoming environment!

Some serious gourmet …. ;-) These guys love what they do! Pretty damn good drinks, soulful music and good vibes! Looking forward to come back! Keep it up guys!

Delicious weather and the best cocktail in Rotterdam

Friendly and knowledgeable staff who are real cocktail nerds. Exciting cocktails going far beyond the classics. This bar taught me that cocktails can be more exciting than food. Would be nice to add some small snacks to the menu.

Beautiful setting to enhance yourself with an eclectic variety of cocktails and spirits., while you watch the world go by. Drinks expensive but worth it.

What a place of art! everything was perfect, from the waiter to the bartender to the cocktail. The atmosphere was on point and the cocktails are wonderful, the choice and composition of the ingredients is so balanced and above all excellent quality. I'm giving 5 stars only because I can't give more!

Ambience and staff excellent, cocktail was perfect! Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I aren't actually rum drinkers, but the bartender was able to conjure up something very tasty for us. We were 100% happy with the service and hospitality and will definitely go again if we have the time!

Very tasty and original cocktails. Highly recommended for rum lovers.

Easter Monday, Monday evening 🕤 o'clock, outdoor terrace The Rumah with an ordered Indonesian Nusa Cana rum and a Cokezero while my Dominican Leonjiminesdoblemaduro takes a moment of rest.

Deliciosos cócteles de ron y camarero súper agradable. Ofrece solo unos cócteles fuera de las bebidas de ron, pero recomiendo visitar de todos modos y probar algunos nuevos.

The cocktails were delicious and the mixologist took the time to advise us. We recommend!

A work of art. I love when bartenders are truly passionate about their craft. The menu and theme are timeless. Every drink is explained by the bartender upon presentation. I am not a rum fan, but I highly recommend trying this cocktail room out. I will be back! The pink drink is "Booby Trap," and the other is "This is America." Update one week later: We came back! This time featuring "Pinga" and "Devil in Disguise." Our waiter was kind enough to ask if we enjoyed a more savory/olive flavored drink because our first choice would have been Fragata. He said if you wanted something sweeter, then this likely wasn't the best choice, which swayed our selection. Maybe next time, but I appreciated the heads up.

Quite top tier given the size of the city, solid and original cocktails in addition to a nice collection of rums. The place is rather lively and chill with a very diverse crowd. 16/20

It's probably just me... but the drinks weren't for me. Too sweet, too experimental, too expensive. Nice concept but really only for the passionate. The IPA beer was delicious though. Sorry for the two stars, I won't be coming back but I wish you only the best

Best cocktails in the Netherlands

Very lovely bar with historical cocktails from old ages! The bartender was very nice and explained everything to us

It is a really good cocktail, especially for those who enjoy Rom, its rich history and flavour. Bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Cocktails are really tasty, though more on the stronger side of the pallet.

Excellent service & drinks, loved hearing the story behind the bar inspiration and each cocktail story

Stopped by to have a drink, some locals said it was the best cocktail bar in Rotterdam.. they weren’t lying!! Best sour cocktail I’ve had. Amazing service and outdoor seating, along with some top tier storytelling ✨ highly recommend.

Amazing cocktails with a cosy atmosphere and the best bartenders ever!

Extremely friendly service from the bartender, great drinks with a rum focused menu, and overall great ambience. The bartender took the time to explain the drinks as he made them. Will visit again!

A really nice cocktail bar. Really well balanced cocktails and lovely staff. I went there almost every night of my trip and would go again.

Nice good place, nice bartender with a lot of knowledge about drinks. Also recommended if you are unfamiliar with rum.

They simply make great cocktails. Their own creations are very tasty. Come here to try something different in a very pretty location

A great bar and great bartender. The Rum Capitol of Rotterdam. The ti-punch was better than I have had in the Caribbean.

Had a nice cocktail. Cozy atmosphere and top service. Nice experience.

One of the best cocktail bars in town. A wide variety of Rum and history behind every single drink. Top!!!

Good service, the staff are always smiling 😊

A wonderful atmosphere, delicious rum for a fair price and knowledgeable service!

A very great and wonderful spot and buzzing vibes.

Very expensive and bad cocktails, so disgusting and not tasty, also waiters are annoying with their endless boring stories, if you just want to have fun , don't visit this place

Very small but super nice bar with amazing cocktails. All cocktails are with rum. Really tasty and the music is also super nice. If you like rum it is definitely the bar to be!

Great cocktail bar to visit in Rotterdam. Best place to experience rum. Really friendly staf, they take their time for you. Cocktail are unique and well balanced. This place you must visit when you are in Rotterdam!

THE absolute reference in terms of rum in Rotterdam! Mixology experience not to be overlooked. Very good team at the controls, advice adapted to requests, beautiful presentation, friendly and friendly service. The prices are correct when you know the price and the difficulty of obtaining clear ice. A bit small place but very cozy.

Amazing cocktails and service. The place is best in Rotterdam and atmosphere is amazing with cool music. I had a great time there and will definitely go again. The owner himself brings you the cocktails and also tells you the backstory of it as well as a backstory of the place itself. Very cosy, very cool, just go visit it!

It was busy (which is understandable!) so we couldn't be seated right away, but the employees kept a close eye on everything and we got a seat in no time. Tasty cocktails, very nice and quick service that tells something about each drink. I also liked that you got a glass of water that was continuously refilled. A really nice tent!

Very friendly bartenders and excellent drinks! Every drink offers something new. I'll definitely come back when I'm in Rotterdam.
