The Bierdrinker is a bronze statue by the sculptor Huib Noorlander. It depicts a man who puts the glass to his lips. The statue is called "Manneken Pils" by the people of Rotterdam.
The statue was a gift from Heineken NV to the Dutch city of Rotterdam, as a reminder of the old brewery on the corner of Crooswijksesingel and Linker Rottekade, which was active from 1873 to 1968. The statue is on the square in front of the old brewery. In 2014, the Pameijer Disability Care Foundation is housed in the building. Close by was the old Heineken Office Building. In 2014, this is where Molenaar & Co Architecten and the Dock Foundation are located.
