Drinks in The Hague

Our drinks

Whether at the bar, at a table or in a private room: at Rootz, you can make your drinks and snacks as elaborate as you like. We’re located in a historic coach house on Grote Marktstraat, right in the heart of The Hague, with 30 beers on tap and over 250 bottled beers.

If you are coming with a small group, you can simply take a seat in the Tap Room or on the terrace. For larger groups, you can hire one of the rooms privately, each with its own bar so your party never has to queue.

Having drinks at the specialist beer pub

A night out at Rootz starts at the bar. We serve 30 beers on tap and have well over 250 bottled beers, ranging from a crisp pilsner to a robust triple. The selection changes regularly, so there’s almost always something new on offer.

We’ve been brewing our own Rootz Blond since 2014, and in 2015 it was voted the best house beer in the Netherlands. If your party aren’t sure what to choose, our team will be happy to advise you; we have qualified beer experts on staff.

If you want to make more of it than just drinking, you can extend the drinks reception with a Beer tasting of five beers, to be booked from twelve people.
