Hang 4. This place is the shit (at least i think so ha ha)
The Slaakhuys -Slaak 34 (Very Close
to Oostplein Metro station)
Is
a very large squat/office building in the center of Rotterdam that has
been squatted since 2003. They host a vegan/vegetarian "eetcafe" every
thursday from 19:00 -> 21:30 and sometimes later. You get three
courses for only about E 4 euro's, drinks are cheap too. You will need
a mobile phone to get in as there is no bell. On rare occasions (bigger
holidays) the dinner cafe is closed for a few weeks. Ask at the bar and
check posters.
The
kind and quality of the food depends on who's cooking (this changes
every week). Sometimes it is great and sometimes ok. They are
usually looking for people that want to (help) cook.
They
also host some nice (if
you are into the scene/music) parties/events/gigs,
some of these are "public" and some are private, just ask the people at
the bar about upcoming events.
Of
course people live in the Slaakhuys as well and quite a bit of the
space is used by artists. As far as i know at present they don't have
any excess space and are not looking for any other residents.
In
the Slaak you might encounter artists, punks, students, teknos,
squatters, 40 year olds and lots of other people.
