I visited for first time this place on a thursday night. My leather jacket, iphone, keys and lipstick was 'missed' from their coat check. The girl who was working there gave my belongings to someone else and the owner wouldn't take any responsibility for it! They washed their hands saying that they do have a sign saying that they are not responsible for loses inside the bar, but obviously the sign is in only in Dutch and quite hidden for the eye (why they would bother to put at least a translation in english right? oh wait, this bar is only for Dutch speaking people? so where is the sign for that? how damn convenient is to deny that the service offered is garbage right?). At their entrance they force everyone to leave coats checked, then they make you pay for a service they don't commit to offer and then they give someone else your stuff without taking any responsibility. Real garbage going on there. On top of that, I called the police and they suggested me the most absurd and useless things, such as I should break the window of my house to get in since my keys were in my jacket (!!!!) or that I should get a purse to put my keys on instead to leave them checked with my jacket. Two police officers (a man and a woman) who went to check what was happening ended up complying with the bar's owner and making me feel totally helpless. Whoever has my jacket and the rest of things turned off my phone when I called to it, so I imagine is a person that rather works in conjunction with whoever is taking care of coat check at Keerweer or they go from bar to bar 'tricking' coat check workers into giving them anything they want. Pure trash.

(Translated by Google) I ordered my fifth drink and gave me the drinks from my friends. And I'm being called. I waited ten minutes until I could order. That bartender says he is going to go wrong because I do not pay. You know that people are under the influence. I'm not running away. I'm still in your bar. I am just busy and forgotten. Can it happen? Why do you want to "scold" me for this? "Do I have to run after everyone's ass," you say. YES THAT YOU MUST, until you pay. Logic. That guest clearly has issues. "Cancer" him is out or I continue to give bad reviews (Original) Ik heb me vijfde drankje besteld en gaf even de drank van me vrienden achter me. En ik word uitgescholden. Ik wachtte tien minuten tot ik kon bestellen. Die barman zegt dat ie me deruit gaat kankeren omdat ik niet betaal. Je weet toch dat mensen onder invloed zijn. Ik loop niet weg. Ik sta nog in je bar. Ik ben gewoon even bezig en was het vergeten. Kan toch gebeuren? Waarom wil je me hiervoor eruit"kankeren"? "Moet ik achter iedereens kont aan gaan rennen" zeg je nog. JA DAT MOET JE, tot men betaalt. Logica. Die gast heeft duidelijk issues. "Kanker" hem is eruit of ik blijf bad reviews geven

(Translated by Google) Regular customer (turns out later) calls out that he is straight and afterwards let him be turned off for lack of attention. Dot seems to be more common, I was told elsewhere. And you pay 50 cents for a toilet where no maintenance seems to have been done for 10 years. Calculation is not so exciting: If you go to the bathroom 100x every Saturday for 5 years (I will get the 5x in one evening myself, so you have enough 20 drinkers) you have already raked in 10,000 ... Do that too on Friday ... Then you have double huh ... Maybe you can do that old mess for that 20,000? (Original) Vaste klant(blijkt later) roept dat hij hetero is en laat je daarna uitzetten bij gebrek aan aandacht. Dot schijnt vaker voor te komen werd mij elders verteld. En je betaald 50 cent voor een toilet waar al 10 jaar geen onderhoud gedaan lijkt te zijn. Rekenen is niet zo spannend: Als men 5 jaar lang elke zaterdag 100x naar toilet gaat(ik haal zelf de 5x op n avond wel, dus heb je aan 20 drinkers genoeg) heb je al 10.000,- binnen geharkt... Doe dat ook op vrijdag... Dan heb je het dubbele hè... Misschien kan je voor die 20.000,- die oude zooi eens opknappen?

Not really a pleasant place to be. Very rude workers and security is rude too

Not recommended

(Translated by Google) My girlfriend and I were scolded by a group of boys because we were kissing. We wanted to be ourselves and make it a pleasant evening. Went home quickly, safe. (Original) Mijn vriendin en ik werden uitgescholden door een groep jongens, omdat we aan het zoenen waren. Wij wilden ons zelf zijn en er een gezellige avond van maken. Gauw naar huis gegaan, safe.

(Translated by Google) Was always the place to look for fun when everything is already closing. But as mentioned in other reviews, the doorman ruined it for many. Recently had such an experience, we will not come again for the time being. Were with a group of friends, consisting of Dutch, British and Germans, but all living in the Netherlands for years (and frequent visitors of weather). The porter asked one of us to hang the coat in the wardrobe (in Dutch), but the person walked right in. The doorman's mood changed, everyone was ordered to wait, the boy was called back and got nasty comments to his head. An explanation from my side that it was a misunderstanding, and not consciously ignoring the doorman, was to no avail. We were asked to "go to another case". Very random and not very understanding. (Original) Was altijd dé plek om nog even gezelligheid te zoeken wanneer alles al sluit. Maar zoals in andere reviews genoemd, de portier verpest het voor velen. Onlangs een dergelijke ervaring gehad, wij zullen er voorlopig niet meer komen. Waren met een groep vrienden, bestaande uit Nederlanders, Britten en Duitsers, maar allen al jaren woonachtig in Nederland (en frequente bezoekers van keerweer). De portier verzocht een van ons de jas in de garderobe op te hangen (in t Nederlands), de persoon liep echter gelijk naar binnen. T humeur van de portier sloeg om, iedereen werd bevolen te wachten, de jongen werd teruggeroepen en kreeg vervelende opmerkingen naar z'n hoofd. Een uitleg van mijn kant dat het een misverstand was, en niet het bewust negeren van de portier, mocht niet baten. We werden verzocht 'maar naar een andere zaak' te gaan. Erg willekeurig en weinig begripvol.

(Translated by Google) Happy place. Not a gay bar. Totally NOT. Please stop with this name :( Few gaypeople especially straight people who come here after work or for lack of better to have a drink. (Original) Happy place. Not a gaybar. Totally NOT. Stop met deze naam alstublieft :( Weinig gaypeople vooral straight people die na het werk of bij gebrek aan beter hier komen om nog een drankje te doen.

Discrimination

“We have unfortunately had a terrible experience at Keerweer. Not safe or inclusive at all. As a mixed queer group of only 4 people, we’ve been discriminated and actually hurt beyond believe. The bouncer said our eyes were not right, no chance to explain that we have been crying together, having a euphoric pride weekend, driving to Rotterdam sober(!) in solidarity with the driver, to come to the ‘legendary’ Keerweer only to be dismissed because we didn’t have the right eyes. No sensitivity at the door, no explanation, not even 10 seconds to just speak to each other. We were even met with ridicule by the bouncer when we were surprised and embarrassed about the reason we couldn’t get in. We’ve all been there that you can’t get in the club. But this was a dehumanizing experience, especially at pride weekend, especially in Rotterdam, especially in Keerweer. Never never never again!! We feel terrible even though everywhere else we were accepted that evening with open arms and such kindness. Keerweer killed our spirit for the evening, and honestly our believe in ‘gay’ clubs in Rotterdam. Fake safe spaces!“

(Translated by Google) Poor operation. Weird music. It stinks of beer and it is much hot. And that clean-shaven short-haired 40-year-old bartender is most aggressive (Original) Slechte bediening. Rare muziek. Het stinkt naar bier en het is er veelste warm. En die gladgeschoren kortharige 40 jarige barman is veelste aggressief

(Translated by Google) Very special experience, drinks and drugs for the taking. (Original) Hele aparte ervaring, drank en drugs voor het grijpen.

BEVEILIGING ("MO") no MOre!! .... Is this still a gaybar??? I'm wondering🤔

(Translated by Google) This is egt outrageous, years I come in the weather but this is the crown. Saturday after some steps I wanted to have a drink in the weather completely sober arrived at the entrance there were other so-called porters there I mean that these gentlemen have absolutely no affinity with this profession and are not qualified in this and they are in use and to refuse to refuse people without a reason for giving. For me, a number of boys were completely sober of this, two friends were refused nothing for no reason without giving me a reason why even worse, I was also denied access without reason for giving. and I also had nothing to drink. while my friend, who is much younger, was admitted. It is also true that these so-called doormen often make derogatory statements about gay.s words such as that old dirty gay piss cousin, etc. This is inappropriate and downright discriminatory. an example to the doormen of gaypalace these are neat cheerful gentleman who understand their profession, not doormen who stand around the corner themselves p issen cigar smoke blow in your face be arrogant and care for the female guests. Too bad that the nightlife to the weather is so sick. as far as safety is concerned, this also leaves something to be desired. no emergency exits etc if there is something happening you are trapped like a rat. Only entering the toilets can already cause your illnesses to get downright egt outrageously dirty while there is nevertheless a toilet lady is present but this one has never heard of keeping it clean. further there is 1 bartender who crams himself full of liquor and shouts to guests and behaves quite antisocial and if he gets the chance of stealing this has happened to me a few times only if you then say this is not right then suddenly it is a mistake, in short the owner sinsd several things after the atmosphere is no longer what it has been. in short, these things have done for me that regarding the weather strano and lodge. advice if you want a fun night out in rotterdam avoid these things there are still plenty of things where you will be treated nicely eg the rainbow and gaypalace guts. conclusion most of the staff is dissatisfied and this radiates ok to the customer so love to hear now if you want to come here. well I don't need anymore and many friends no longer. (Original) Dit is egt schandalig, jaren kom ik in de keerweer maar dit spant de kroon. zaterdag wilde ik na wat stappen nog even wat drinken in de keerweer compleet nuchter bij de entree aangekomen stonden daar weer andere zogenaamde portiers daar bedoel ik mee dat deze heren totaal geen affiniteit hebben met dit vak en ook niet gekwalificeerd zijn in deze en zij te pas en te onpas mensen weigeren zonder reden van opgaaf .Voor mij in de rij stonden een aantal jongens compleet nuchter hiervan werden van het vriendenstel 2 jongens om niets geweigerd zonder reden van opgaaf wat mij verbaasde erger nog ook mij werd de toegang geweigerd zonder reden van opgaaf en ook ik had niets gedronken.terwijl mn vriend die veel jonger is wel toegelaten werd.Verder is het zo dat deze zogenaamde portiers vaak denigrerende uitspraken doen over gay.s woorden als die ouw vieze homo pisnicht e.d dit is ongepast en ronduit discriminerend.neem een voorbeeld aan de portiers van gaypalace dit zijn nette vrolijke gentlemens die hun vak verstaan ,geen portiers die zelf om de hoek gaan staan pissen sigarenrook in je gezicht blazen arrogant zijn en zich bekommeren om de vrouwelijke gasten. Jammer dat het uitgaansleven naar de keerweer zo verziekt word . wat betreft de veiligheid laat dit ook te wensen over .geen nooduitgangen etc als daar wat gebeurt zit je als een rat in de val.Het alleen het betreden van de toiletten kan er al voor zorgen dat je ziektes oploopt ronduit egt schandalig vies terwijl er toch een toiletjuffrouw aanwezig is maar deze heeft nog nooit gehoord van schoonhouden .verder staat er 1 barkeeper die zichzelf volpropt met drank schreeuwt naar gasten en zich behoorlijk asociaal gedraagt en als hij de kans krijgt van je steelt dit is mij al een paar keer overkomen alleen als je dan zegt dit klopt niet dan ineens is het een foutje,kortom sinsd de eigenaar er meerdere zaken op nahoud is de sfeer niet meer wat het geweest is.kortom deze zaken hebben voor mij af gedaan dat wat betreft de keerweer strano en loge .advies als je een gezellige avond uit wil in rotterdam vermijd deze zaken er zijn nog genoeg zaken waar je wel netjes behandeld word bijv de regenboog en gaypalace lef . conclusie het meeste personeel is ontevreden en straalt dit ok uit naar de klant zo van nou muil houden hoor graag of niet als je hier wil komen. nou ik hoef niet meer en vele vrienden ook niet meer.

(Translated by Google) We were racially treated by the security yesterday. after my girlfriend from Ethiopia asked if she could grab her drink for a while. she was refused. She asked why and was told her because she is black. Our mate who brought us there stood up for her. Before I realized it, all three of us were grabbed by the arms and put outside. Where the police were there in a very strange way within two minutes and I was beaten in chains because I asked for an explanation and at the same time had my phone in my hand to film. I lost a very special Russian hat there. (Original) We zijn gisteren racistisch behandeld door de bewaking. nadat mijn vriendin uit Ethiopië vroeg als ze even haar drankje kon pakken .werd dat haar geweigerd .Ze vroeg waarom en werd haar gezegd omdat ze zwart is. Onze maat die ons er heen heeft gebracht kwam voor haar op . Voordat ik t door had werden wij alle 3 bij de armen gegrepen en naar buiten gezet. Waar op hele rare wijze de politie er binnen twee minuten was en ik in de boeien geslagen werd omdat ik om uitleg vroeg en tegelijk mijn telefoon in mijn hand had om te filmen . Ik ben daar een hele bijzondere rusische muts kwijtgeraakt.

(Translated by Google) Yes what can you say, have a drink here nice... Until the front door closes and the shutters go down. Then the security guard can go wild. This man is ruining your business. How pushy he is, pulling people's coats because they have to be hung from that moment on, even grabs people in a not neat way and directs them towards the coat rack. It's not surprising that half of the pub is running away at that moment, including myself. The 2nd star is therefore for the nice var boy. (Original) Ja wat moet je zeggen, even een drankje doen hier leuk... Tot de voordeur dicht gaat en het rolluik omlaag. Dan mag de beveiliger zich uit gaan leven. Deze man verpest jullie zaak. Wat is hij opdringerig, aan jassen van mensen trekken omdat deze vanaf dat moment opgehangen moeten worden de mensen op een niet nette manier zelfs vastpakt en dirigeert richting kapstok. Niet vreemd dat de helft van de kroeg op dat moment wegloopt inclusief ik zelf. De 2e ster is dan ook voor de leuke var jongen.

Five star for some 0 🌟 for others. You love it or you hate it

(Translated by Google) Super doorman at the door. Kind of ugly old guy. But nice. (Original) Super portier aan de deur. Beetje lelijke oude vent. Maar wel aardig.

We were kicked out by the bartender because we didn't have enough drinks

Met some locals who took us out and showed us the nightlife. We stopped in here to end the night. Cute, small and divey bar with a variety of music, good bar service and affordable drinks! The night doesn't start until late here in the city so once it hits midnight, the place gets really packed! Yes, it's a gay bar but everyone is welcomed here! I see people bumping into friends or people they know here throughout the night so it's obviously a popular spot! Had a great time here! Would definitely recommend it!

unfortunately this went from a place I loved going to one of the worst places to end up in Rotterdam, around here we also call it the garbage bin of the nightlife. The bouncer is absolutely terrible, always in a bad mood and should've retired from this line of work a while ago. The toilets are paid (no pin, only cash) as well as hanging your coat (3,50 if I remember correctly) The last 2 times Ive been here, someone tried to drug me, this + being constantly groped + an incredibly expensive bar which is in way over it's head (expect to wait 15+ minutes to get a drink) all by all this place is only fun if you're already wasted before you get in

(Translated by Google) Always genuinely cozy. Every evening is a colorful evening😆😂🙋 (Original) Altijd oprecht gezellig. Iedere avond is weer een bonte avond😆😂🙋

(Translated by Google) Always cozy, always a good atmosphere and nowadays even the security guards are nice again. The LGBT hangout in Rotterdam for the early hours! (Original) Altijd gezellig, altijd een goede sfeer en tegenwoordig zijn zelfs de beveiligers weer aardig. Dé LGBT hangout in Rotterdam voor de vroege uurtjes!

for the ones who love it its 5 stars. gay bar known in Rotterdam and also the longesr ooen place in the city, when all others go to sleep, those who won't or can't, end up there!

(Translated by Google) It still laughs with the old familiar audience and the party atmosphere. The Keerweer parade makes it an attraction of Rotterdam every year. (Original) Het blijft toch lachen met het oude vertrouwde publiek en de feest-sfeer. De Keerweer parade maakt het ieder jaar een attractie van Rotterdam.

Friendly queer bar - even str8 friendly. Nice place with good music. Entrance is in the back after 12 midnight.

(Translated by Google) It's cozy (Original) Het is gezellig

(Translated by Google) Cozy (Original) Gezellig

(Translated by Google) Always fun!! Cozy atmosphere, varied music. Prices are reasonable. I'm glad they exist and continue until late! :-) The toilet is paid on Saturday, and I think you should be able to go to the toilet fairly: the toilet door is not locked and it is all "hokiboki". Toilet is located on the upper floor. Jackets, bags can be stored down for a fee. (Original) Altijd leuk!! Gezellige sfeer, afwisselende muziek. Prijzen zijn redelijk. Ik ben blij dat ze bestaan en tot laat doorgaan! :-) Op zaterdag is het toilet betaald, en ik vind dat je dan wel redelijk naar de WC moet kunnen: toiletdeur draait niet op slot en het is allemaal “hokiboki”. Toilet bevindt zich op de bovenverdieping. Jassen, tassen kunnen tegen betaling beneden worden bewaard.

(Translated by Google) Cozy, but too busy (Original) Gezellig, maar te druk

Good beer

(Translated by Google) Too busy and drunk audience (Original) Te druk en dronken publiek

This is all so small .and still I don't know where all the girls were they must be gone when I was there .the staff were nice but one time I went in and ask for water because I don't drink she said to me you buy water in a harsh voice while on my own and there were only three people there I never went back again very disappointed to me I think she could have been a bit more friendly to me and then I drank my sparkling water and went .I think you need to go with a friend if you go to this place.and see for yourself .other times people with people you have to make the first move to talk or you are on your own .

(Translated by Google) Gay night pub with a very diverse audience (Original) Homonachtkroeg met zeer divers publiek
