Plan B Rotterdam

No Longer In Business

A great and easily accessible bottle shop in Rotterdam city centre. They have a great selection from around the world but probably a little light on the Dutch beers. Superb service and decent prices. Worth a visit if you are in the city.

The shop looks nice, nice old build shop with lots of bottles everywhere. Friendly staff providing a warm and friendly atmosphere in this bit rustic looking shop. Stacked shelves with Kernel brews and vintage De Molen bottles caught my eye and before I knew it I blew through my budget. Haha! Loads of quality craft beer and plenty of new ticks. Recent new experience with the webshop, which looks outdated design-wise (It’s still called De Molen Beershop) but is updated frequently content-wise, is good as well. Not the fastest in the business but the service is insane. It’s still one of the nicest shops I know, I wish it was closer to my home!

redleijk ruime winkel met een enorme selectie bieren, ook van Amerikaanse en Engelse brouwers, die je in NL niet snel op een andere plek zult aantreffen. Nadeel van de grote selectie is dat de tht wel in de gaten gehouden moet worden. Prijzen zijn normaal.

Well located shop with a good beer selection. Friendly service. Not the promised 1500 beers, I’d think just under a 1000. Enough new to find, however, including very fresh The Kernel. Prices are acceptable. Certainly worth a visit, but I keep thinking this shop has known better times.

Medium sized shop with lots of international beers, quite some De Molen but not that many other local beers. Lots of Scandinavian, US, UK and Southern European beers. Some nice vintage stuff too. Prices are normal for Dutch standards, decent service. Good shop.

Fornitissimo beer shop, con anche molte bottiglie rare. Ci sono anche non poche bottiglie scontate e i prezzi sono buoni (per alcune birre anche più che buoni). Il commesso è molto disponibile.

Great selection of Dutch (and Rotterdam) craft beer as well as solid coverage of international brews. Friendly service but not that knowledgeable at the time I visited. The guy couldn’t recommend any local beers. De Molen online shop is operated from here.

Medium-sized beer shop located in a shabby area. Very good selection, many Dutch micros, one shelf just occupied by De Molen, a lot of lambics, some Americans, Danish, Italians and Belgians. One small shelf with some gems that are worth alone going there if you can or want to afford it. Prices are fair, staff is competent and friendly. Best shop in Rotterdam.

Visited in December 2015. The place is a little out of town from wha I could make out, got a cab straight there. The place is rammed with bottles of beer, from floor to ceiling and every where else. Selection is great, loads if Dutch, Danish, Belgian, American. Slightly hap hazard. Owner seemed proud of the beers and helpful. I only had a short time to navigate in my lunch break. Bought some more unusual De Molens and an Emelisse.

Visited frequently. Since this shop opened, my trips to Amsterdam and Bodegraven got less. Great beer shop with an overwhelming selection of Dutch, Belgian, UK, US, Skandinavian and other hard to find beers. Opened last year and visit the place at least once a month. Rotterdam needed this. Great service, free tasting. Prices (very) cheap, to ok, to high for the really rare stuff.
