Silbar
You’ll hear it before you see it. The clink of glasses, a burst of laughter, maybe even a whistle or two! Silbar Rotterdam brings the buzz to Rotterdam North with a cantina-style vibe, bold Mexican flavours and a warm Rotterdam edge.
Brought to you by the same team behind Westkop, the menu covers tacos, antojitos, tortas (mexican sandwiches) and desserts that shift with the seasons. On Taco Tuesdays they serve surprise tacos for a small price! Casual? Yes. But always made with quality ingredients and creative twists that go way beyond your standard bar food. The drink menu is just as strong, with craft beers, Mexican brews, smoky mezcal, aged tequila and cocktails that make it hard to call it a night.
Inside, the look is low-key and laid-back, combining Mexican flair with Rotterdam character, all wrapped in earthy tones, soft lighting and warm bar vibes. The sunny terrace is a neighbourhood favourite, and with space for large groups and lively evenings, Silbar Rotterdam channels the spirit of a true Mexican cantina — relaxed, social and full of good energy.
Fun fact: In Spanish, the word silbar means to whistle. A cheeky nod to the Dutch fluitje (a small beer glass) and the relaxed, round-after- round atmosphere they’ve built!
