THOMS Stadsbrouwerij - Halvemaanpassage 1

Great session IPA along with other great beer. Highly recommend anyone to come for the beer and enjoy themselves. Also, the service is great and the staff is the best I’ve seen around.

THOMS Brewery occupies the ground floor of a boxy modern architecture building. The distinctive facade of the brewpub consists of a long row of semicircular floor-to-roof glass windows. They look like halves of glass tubes, and create a unique distorted view to the interior. Outside along the side wall is a long row of wooden picnic tables, and outside on the side with the entrance is a large patio. The patio has numerous tables under colorful string lights, a nice space. Just inside on the left is their brewery. They have a compact cluster of 4 stainless steel brewing vessels. Along the side wall are 8 short stainless steel fermenters stacked double high. It is an efficient use of space in the nearly three-story tall corner space that the brewery occupies. Along the glass walls are many long high top tables and booths. In the center is their large 25-stool polished wooden bar. Overhead are 8 horizontal steel lagering and serving tanks which were installed in 2018. The bar has bright red pipe tap towers with 7 house beers on tap. They also carry a guest tap of Amstel Light. Their house beer is basically just average, but it is intriguing. Usually my preference is higher alcohol beers, but here I was really drawn to the low 3% NEIPA, which is also a staff favorite. I also enjoyed their more traditional Hoppy Pale Ale. The beer can be had by glass or 3-beer sampler flight. At several of the tables are taps to pour-your-own, a fun activity for groups. The bar is also fully stocked with a wide range of liquors, cocktails and wine. The brewpub has generous opening hours and great service. The staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful. The kitchen is a bit slow in preparing the food, but for what I ordered it was totally worth the wait. Their menu consists of gastropub appetizers, salads, burgers, crunchy bread sandwiches, mussels, and a few pub entrees. Honestly, they were some of the best Moules et Frites I've ever had - succulent and heavy herbed mussels with perfectly crispy fries. Delicious. The atmosphere of the place is upbeat and friendly. There is a motif of red colors and the modern architecture is offset by leafy greenery near the windows. The background music is a fun mix of 60's to 80's pop and disco. It is a fun place for drinks and food.

Very nice venue and good beers. Quick and friendly service.

Thoms is slowly becoming my default go-to place/bar in Rotterdam. I like it for many reasons. A decent selection of beers at the brewery (plus some guest appearances), coupled with music that is a good mix of retro + modern disco-house and not too loud, make this a place that is very nice for a relatively relaxed evening with friends. It's also perfect for catching up with a friend whom you haven't met in a while, but don't want to go to a coffee house / cafe. The sheer size of the place means that you don't have to squeeze through people to be accommodated. Bonus: The staff is friendly as well! Always worth a visit.

Great city brewery with tasty beer freshly tapped by yourself at your own tap table. Beer is brewed in cooperation with Noordt brewery Rotterdam. The food / finger food is tasty too.

Staff was really helpful and friendly. Goods beers and we did on advice of the staff a beer tasting. Was really nice! Good chill place

Beautiful, casual city brewery in the heart of Rotterdam. Superfriendly staff and great setting where you feel part of the brewery and the city! Love this place, must try if you are in town.

This place has excellent service, excellent food and an excellent selection of drinks. Prices given the area are very good. They brew 1000 liters of their own beer every Friday. I tried all their selection all of the beers were fantastic. I recommend their Thoms Weizen beer to drink and their Pan De Cristal (Flat Bread kind of) is worth the ask. Quite modern, very good amenities. Weather you are a local or a tourist this place is well worth a try.
