Discover the Binckhorst industrial district
A stone's throw from The Hague city centre, you'll find the Binckhorst: shrouded with plenty of young, creative, small large and unusual businesses. Experience the urban feel here! In recent years, the Binckhorst (Binck) has developed into a hotspot for street art and other creative expressions. It is therefore the place to spot street art.
There is no shortage of creativity anyway: many old buildings have been transformed into creative work environments and other new businesses are setting up shop in the neighbourhood. This creates a unique mix of old and new. The Caballero factory, once a well-known cigarette factory in The Hague, is now a creative work environment. The Victory Boogie Woogie tunnel makes it easy for traffic from Delft, Rotterdam and Ypenburg to drive to and from the Binckhorst. From the centre of The Hague or from The Hague Laan van Noi station, grab the shared bike (or scooter) and you'll be in this district in ten minutes.
You are now in the Binckhorst:
Horeca in the Binckhorst
With fine catering establishments like Loetje, Capriole Café (tip: be sure to bring a bag of freshly roasted coffee beans from the coffee roastery!) and Kompaan, the Binckhorst is a fun district to explore:
Restaurant Glaswerk - Fokkerkade 14
Further down the Fokkerhaven, Restaurant Glaswerk is a great place to sit on the waterfront terrace. Chef Martijn Lagrand creates the most beautiful and surprising dishes. Hostess Rosalie Brand ensures a perfect atmosphere & ambiance and the right wine/food combinations.
Restaurant Glaswerk is perhaps in the most surprising spot in The Hague!
Loetje - Saturnusstraat 100
The popular steak restaurant Loetje has opened yet another location besides an atmospheric one on the Haagse Bluf. In the industrial old boiler house of the former Caballero factory, you can enjoy the most delicious steak. Did you know that there is also a veggie version these days: the Biefstuk Bali 0.0?
Loetje on the Binckhorst is one of two branches in The Hague.
The Harbour Club - Binckhorstlaan 36
On the top floor of BINK36 sits The Harbour Club The Hague. From the huge rooftop terrace, you have spectacular views of The Hague's skyline!

Kompaan is a true brewery from The Hague with bar cum tasting room in the Binckhorsthaven. At this industrial location with terrace and beautiful views of the inner harbour and factories, two companions, Jasper and Jeroen, realised their dream in 2015: brewing typical Hague beers. Absolutely recommended for beer lovers and anyone looking for a typical Hague insider tip!
When visiting the Binckhorst, don't miss Kompaan!

Street Art in de Binckhorst
Wherever you drive or walk in the Binckhorst, you will find street art on every street corner Professional Graffiti and Street Art artists are banding together and have turned the Binckhorst into a happy, special and creative area.
On almost every street corner you will find a mural or other creative artwork. These artworks range from colourful abstract patterns to realistic portraits of famous people. Not only beautiful to look at, but it also creates a lively and creative atmosphere in the neighbourhood. To learn more about the art and the artists, The Hague Street Art has collected the artworks in an online map. Did you take a cool photo? Then share it with #thisisthehague on Instagram or tag @thisisthehague!

Binckhorst borders Voorburg and Rijswijk. If you are on a bike, you can go straight to the Herenstraat: a nice, authentic shopping street in Voorburg. Here you will also find Huygens' Hofwijck: a beautifully preserved seventeenth-century house. Definitely worth a visit!
