    La Copa

    Every Thursday, flamenco fans squeeze into this vaulted bodega to see José Márquez and amigos. Guitars, tapas and copious amounts of sangria keep the tone strictly Spanish. Even Mr lightning footwork himself, Paco Peña, has performed here.

    Elferhaus

    Eleven is the magic number at Elferhaus, where you can nurse a beer beside Gothic gargoyles at the bar or take a church-like pew to hear live rock bands play. The haunt attracts a 20-something crowd that spills out onto Herzog-Friedrich-Strasse.

    Dom Cafe-Bar

    Flickering candles, vaulted ceilings and an HMV gramo­phone set the scene in this Gothic-style bar. Sink into a squishy sofa for a glass of red or a hot Waldbeerpunsch (wild berry punch) in winter.

    Krahvogel

    A big black crow guards the bar at this industrial-style pub. It doesn’t make much noise, but the punters do after one too many Mind Sweeper cocktails. There are regular live bands and big-screen sports.
