For these evenings, we're putting together an experimental program including talks, meet-ups, and (music) performances. Looking for a hip spot for drinks with friends, or a special date? Then this pop-up rooftop bar is the place to be!
Rooftop bar: Before Sunset
This summer, Before Sunset returns to the roof terrace of the Depot. 13, 14 & 15 August, the roof will transform into an enchanting rooftop bar featuring music, art, performance and vibes. As the sun sets, enjoy drinks and snacks from Renilde, whilst taking in the view of the Rotterdam skyline. Meanwhile, let yourself be swept away by a programme with a.o. Studio de Zolder, Bound45 and FUGAZII. Get your tickets down below!
