Wein.Kultur.Bar
Book if you want one of only 20 seats in one of the world's best wine bars—star sommelier Silvio Nitzsche’s place. A life-changing experience for oenophiles.
You can opt for smart, elegant cocktail bars with grand interiors or cosy places typical of the city. Then again, you could dive headfirst into a legendary subculture that is Dresden’s signature, whether in the form of a bohemian “kneipe” or rough ‘n ready club throbbing to the beat of the underground. Here are the six best places to be on the guest list.
OnlyOne
Marvel at miraculous cocktails featuring ‘pearls’ of strawberry or vodka, caviar or even a little tuft of candy floss. Attracts an enthusiastic, trendy set.
Sabotage
A place to experience the real German underground in a rough 'n raw venue that's packed to the rafters with a lively, alternative crowd. Best sounds in town.
Karl May Bar
Smart, sophisticated bar with first-rate cocktails and excellent service. Good for elegant, romantic occasions or business entertaining that impresses.
Side Door
Insider Dresden at its finest. One of those place where all the interesting people in town end up, especially towards the end of the night. Convivial and cosy.
Stilbruch
Fancy a game of "Gollard"—playing golf on a pool table— with your beer? Then head for this bohemian hangout and enjoy the tongue-in-cheek surrealism of it all.
