Welcome to Café Verschoor, a beloved local gem nestled on the Oostkousdijk in Rotterdam. This charming café is more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s a vibrant hub of community, warmth, and unforgettable experiences. If you're looking to immerse yourself in a cozy ambiance, Café Verschoor is the ideal destination.

Known as an authentic "bruine kroeg," or brown café, Café Verschoor offers a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of Rotterdam’s rich history. The interior is adorned with warm wooden accents and vintage décor, creating an inviting space that beckons you to relax with friends or enjoy a warm drink after a long day.

As you step inside, the friendly faces of the owners, Theo and Joke, instantly make you feel at home. Their hospitality shines through, as they greet each patron with a smile and genuine conversation. As one customer, Marius Jonker, aptly noted, this café has a “supergezellige dorpse sfeer,” which translates to a wonderfully cozy village atmosphere. The café truly embraces that small-town feel, making it a cherished spot for locals and visitors alike.

One of the highlights of Café Verschoor's experience is its live music events, which add an exhilarating touch to the cozy vibe. As customer Maritha Nassy shares, the atmosphere becomes especially lively with the enchanting sounds filling the air, making it perfect for a night out with friends. It’s these moments that transform ordinary evenings into cherished memories.

Though it’s important to note that Café Verschoor doesn’t serve meals, Eric’s comment about the café’s rich heritage highlights its significance in the Rotterdam community. Visitors come not for a full dining experience but for the companionship, engaging conversations, and the best-tapped Heineken in town. Michel van Deursen reminisces about the camaraderie shared over drinks, showcasing that the true flavor of Café Verschoor lies in its ability to bring people together.

When it reopens, we encourage you to experience Café Verschoor for its unmatched charm and authentic Rotterdam spirit.

Hele gezellige kroeg, en vooral als er livemuziek is. Eigenaars zijn ook heel vriendelijk.

Helaas door de Corona op dit moment gesloten, kijk uit naar de tijd dat deze echte bruine kroeg weer open gaat. de gastvrijheid van Theo en Joke zorgt voor een geweldige stapavond met de best getapte heineken biertjes :-)

Eten 1 ster. Je kan er namelijk niet eten. Verder echt een heerlijk old school bruin café. Jarenlang bekend en befaamd in Rotterdam. Deze kroeg moet altijd blijven bestaan!
