Nadat Nighttown de deuren sloot, verdween meteen het belangrijkste poppodium van Rotterdam. Gelukkig is WATT op dezelfde plek neergestreken in een compleet gerenoveerd pand dat er niet alleen schitterend uitziet, maar waar ook nog eens op een compleet duurzame manier wordt gewerkt. De dansvloer waarmee energie wordt opgewekt door de dansende bezoekers is natuurlijk een unieke en inventieve uitvinding die groot is uitgelicht in de media. Maar WATT profileert zich ook met de brede programmering van de clubnachten. Niet alleen in het weekend maar ook doordeweeks zijn er verschillende dance-evenementen in één van de drie zalen. WATT is simpelweg één van de grootste pijlers in het Rotterdamse nachtleven. Het is een bezoek meer dan waard.
