Full Review
Club Rootz occupies a former coach house at Grote Marktstraat 14 and runs a dual identity: café-restaurant during the day, full nightclub on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. The free entry policy with valid ID removes the financial barrier that keeps people out of most clubs, and the result is a diverse, easygoing crowd that's there because they want to dance rather than because they've already invested in a ticket.
Two dance halls cover the musical ground: dance classics, R&B, pop, and the kind of crowd-pleasing programming that gets a mixed room moving. The house beer, Rootz Blond, pours at EUR 4. Cocktails are competent. The energy builds after midnight and peaks around 1 AM. Service is fast enough to keep the bars from becoming bottlenecks.
In The Hague's club scene, Rootz fills the accessible mainstream slot. It's not underground, not exclusive, and not trying to be. Where Paard serves the music crowd and the smaller bars handle the neighborhood drinkers, Rootz is where groups go when everyone wants to dance and nobody wants to argue about genre. The coach house setting adds architectural charm that purpose-built clubs can't match.
Bring ID; the 18-plus policy is enforced. Saturday entry is free all night. The Dutch Mule cocktail gets consistent recommendations. The terrace opens in warmer weather and provides a break from the dance floors.
The Neighborhood
