PH globe trotters, I am requiring your help and advice please,

Easter Weekend travelling to Amsterdam for a football tournament, but have to be in Monaco for work the Tuesday after. I have done the trip to 'Dam before via Bruges and it is relatively hassle free, but if you have any other stop off points it would be very appreciated. The real advice I need is for part two of the trip, Amsterdam - Monaco. I haven't been south of Cologne and have only ever spent nights near the 'ring. So with that in mind where would you stop off for one night between Amsterdam and Monaco? The journey need not be the best roads ever though it would be a bonus, a little piece of de-restricted autobahn would be pleasant as well - but the key for the stop off has to be good bar scene with good (see very good) restaurants. Just somewhere with a good vibe and generally half the way down (not that it is vital). I've looked at;

Stuggart
Mannheim
Basel

And they all have their pros and cons and I am sure I have missed out some great spots just by going to the major cities. If you were to do this journey, where would you stop if at all?

Thank you
BR
