Rooftop nights in Rotterdam

Rooftops in Rotterdam are weather-dependent — have a ground-level backup in mind if the sky turns.
Arrive 30 to 45 minutes before sunset for the best tables; after dark the crowd (and the wait) builds.
Many rooftops enforce a dress code after a certain hour. When in doubt, smart casual beats sportswear.
