Fun to see, but not spectacular. There are some fun bars around. What's interesting is that it's one of the few buildings in Rotterdam to survive the German bombings in WWII. Built in 1898, it's the first high-rise building in Europe.

'Koopgoot' literally translates to 'buying gutter'. It's an underground passage in right in the city centre. It's fun to see, but also has lot's of stores.

They call it 'the worlds smallest cocktail boutique'. This company has some of the finest cocktail shakers in The Netherlands working for them. They have a speakeasy bar somewhere in Rotterdam. Be nice and they might tell you where it is..
