‘Experience The Hague's very first rooftop bar at Bleyenberg!’

Grote Markt - Grote Markt 1

The Grote Markt is a square with many terraces. From early in the morning until 2 a.m, it is always pleasantly busy here. Each terrace has its own atmosphere and cuisine. For exotic cocktails you go to Vavoom and if you feel like a spicy cheese fondue, sit down on the September terrace. Music festivals are also regularly held on the Grote Markt.

Bleyenberg - Grote Markt 10

The higher the better. Bleyenberg's cosy roof terrace offers great views over the city centre and is the perfect solution for an afternoon of frying in the sun. Fried through? Roll from the roof all the way to the basement. There you will find dream of everyone's vocal chords: a karaoke bar.

Prins Hendrikplein 10, 15 & 22

The Prins Hendrikplein in the Zeeheldenkwartier is a true neighbourhood favourite! Surrounded by magnolia trees and with a relaxed atmosphere, it's the perfect place to settle down with a drink in the sun. Opt for a craft beer and bites at Gastropub Van Kinsbergen, enjoy a French vibe at L’Amour Toujours, or discover Mediterranean snacks and drinks at Mozza & Mezze. And while you relax on the terrace, the kids can have fun in the water fountain or you can enjoy a game of pétanque yourself!

Waterkant - Kapelweg 55

In the beautiful Westbroekpark you will find De Waterkant; a cute tearoom. The terrace is small but there is enough grass to lie back and enjoy a high tea. They don't call themselves the 'most beautiful grass terrace' for nothing. In a romantic mood? Rent a rowing boat and enjoy the beautiful park from the water.
