The industrial setting at Jacob Bontiusplaats remains as characterful as ever, but the concept has been completely revamped. No more nights of steaming techno, but warm summer nights with acoustic sessions, wine by the water and playful programming for young and old.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new energy comes from five entrepreneurs, including Maarten de Vries and D\u00fcs van der Will, known from De Kopstootbar and Restaurant De Willem. Together with chef and co-owner Jef van den Hout - who will divide his time between the two historic locations - they form the beating heart of the new Roest.<\/p>\n

\"Where it used to be about going out of your way, Roest is now about coming home to the city - with sunshine, flavor and a touch of nostalgia.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Their vision? Not nuisance, but surrender. With offerings that cater to the neighborhood, families and culture lovers, Roest is getting a softer edge, without losing its soul. From art installations and movie nights to silent discos and kid-friendly Sundays, everything is about balance.<\/p>\n

The beloved city beach is also making a comeback. Think: feet in the sand, cocktails under lanterns, and shared plates from chef Van den Hout. Inside, the club feel remains subtly present, but on a smaller scale: vinyl nights, dinner shows and private listening sessions.<\/p>\n

Rust anno 2025 feels familiar, but mature. A place that provides space for meeting, creativity and connection - in a way that fits the city and its residents like a vintage jacket.<\/p>\n

\n

With new owners De Willem and Kopstootbar, Roest on Oostenburg is transforming into an atmospheric city beach where music, food and culture come together.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
