SESH

Stadshaven Brouwerij, located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, is primarily known as a cutting-edge craft brewery and vibrant hospitality venue rather than a traditional nightclub. The brewery occupies a sprawling, renovated industrial warehouse in the historic Merwe-Vierhavens (M4H) harbor district, breathing new life into one of Rotterdam's most dynamic redevelopment areas. The site boasts over 5,000 square meters of space, including an expansive taproom, restaurant, and event areas.

Since its opening in 2021, Stadshaven Brouwerij has become a landmark for Rotterdam’s cultural resurgence, blending the city’s industrial heritage with modern innovation. Its striking setting is complemented by its status as one of the largest independent breweries in the country, with a personalized beer the centerpiece of every gathering. While the venue is not a nightclub in the conventional sense, it is celebrated for its eclectic program of live music, DJ nights, cultural festivals, and private events, all set against the backdrop of tanks brewing fresh beer.

Over time, the brewery has enhanced its event infrastructure with high-end sound systems, modular stages, and expanded capacities, transforming it into one of Rotterdam’s go-to night venues for a younger, creative crowd seeking an alternative to mainstream clubs. This fusion of industrial charm and vibrant nightlife has earned the venue a unique place in the city’s cultural and social scene. Although the structure itself remains in its original waterside location, it has been extensively redesigned to accommodate its dual hospitality and event function, further cementing its status as a symbol of urban renewal in Rotterdam.

Notable artists who have performed at Stadshaven Brouwerij include local favorites such as Davina Michelle and RIMON, as well as acclaimed Dutch DJs like Benny Rodrigues, Philou Louzolo, and Afrobot. International acts that have graced the venue include the Berlin-based DJ Tama Sumo and jazz-fusion collective Nubiyan Twist. With its open-door policy for up-and-coming Rotterdam talent, the venue consistently features lineups that reflect the city’s multicultural character, often spotlighting genre-blending performances and progressive electronic sounds.
