Live Jazz at Bird

Bird is a fairly new concert venue, club and restaurant that was opened in 2015, but its connection to jazz, funk and soul goes back to the previous century when the first generation of immigrants from Surinam came to Holland and introduced these musical styles to the area. Bird was named after American jazz saxophone player Charlie ‘Bird’ Parker. Besides jazz, you can expect soul, Latin, funk, hip hop and afrobeat concerts.

Special because: It’s located in a former train station.
Be sure to visit: The weekly BIRDsessions on Wednesday night, a free jazz session.
Location: Raampoortstraat 26-28 (Agnesiebuurt).

MAKING PREMIUM FRAGRANCE ACCESSIBLE

In the high-end perfume industry, only 1% of the retail price is typically spent on ingredients, with most of the cost going towards marketing and disposable packaging. Brands often maintain exclusivity through inflated pricing. Rotterdam-based Ascent is challenging this model, aiming to transform how perfumes are made, used and sold. The company has revolutionised packaging with a reusable aerospace-grade aluminium case, designed to be refilled with any of their fragrances. These scents are vegan, cruelty-free and have an organic base. With up to 40% perfume oil, the fragrances are long-lasting. Ascent is committed to inclusivity, striving to make premium perfumes accessible to all.

JULES BOULES BITES BAR

Boules, drinks and fun, that’s pretty much what you can expect at Jules Boules Bites Bar near De Kuip football stadium. Sometimes, simply eating is just too boring – you also want to have some action! Go on one of the eleven jeu de boules courts to conjure up your most beautiful throw while enjoying a great snack and cocktail. If you prefer to take it easy, of course you can also enjoy lunch or dinner on the terrace, without engaging in a game. Also ideal as a group outing where urban vibes and Burgundian pleasure are perfectly combined!

BAZAR

This restaurant at the vibrant Witte de Withstraat might just be the most colourful place in the city. The two-story establishment is fully decorated with lanterns in green, yellow, red and blue, fancy patterned tiles and embellished plates. Couscous with grilled kebab, salmon or lamb adorn the menu fi lled with Middle Eastern dishes. The Bizar Bazar offers an assortment of grilled goodies and is a must-try, but their extensive menu offers dishes big and small for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
