What makes Strano special

Café Strano is on Van Oldenbarneveltstraat, just a few minutes from the Lijnbaan and the Koopgoot. It’s a bar with a long history in the Rotterdam scene: cosy seats at the front for drinks and cocktails, a dance floor with video walls at the back.

Early in the evening Strano is a relaxed after-work café; on Fridays and Saturdays DJs play and people dance until the early hours.

Atmosphere and crowd

The crowd is mostly Rotterdammers, many of them regulars between their late 20s and 50. Google reviews praise the cosy atmosphere and friendly staff.
