Saigon Bar
Do as Nurembergers do and make this your last stop after a night on the town. With a background beat of drum 'n bass, this essential late-night bar does a top-rate caipirinha, the Brazilian drink that's at least as popular in Bavaria as it is in Rio, made from smashed limes, brown sugar, crushed ice and white pitú rum.

Loop Club
With three dance areas and a languid chill-out zone with lounge music, this place attracts a slightly more mature crowd. Thursdays are 150-Cent night, a collective send-up with cheap mixed drinks flowing to the sound of '80s hits and karaoke. Take the U2 to Herrnhütte, turn right and it's a five-minute walk.

Landbierparadies
A less than inspiring exterior and a spit 'n' sawdust, all-timber saloon detract little from the incredible wellspring of obscure country ales pulled at this pub. Some 'brands' are only available here and in the village where they are brewed.

Rockfabrik
Safely out of earshot of the centre, 3.5km to the northeast, this citadel of rock heaves with longhairs who flock here for the weekend 'AC/DC', 'Oldies' and 'Heroes of Rock' nights. Take the U2 to Herrnhütte.

Sausalitos
With its slick Santa Fe décor, this is the place where hipsters congregate for copious cocktails. It's at its most rocking during Margarita Happy Hour between 23:00 and 02:00 Monday to Thursday.

Treibhaus
Well off the path of most visitors, this bustling cafe is a Nuremberg institution. It serves breakfast till evening and caffeinated comfort to students and weary-legged shoppers.

Stereo Deluxe
First a home-grown record label for modern urban sound, Deluxe is now also a hip café with a red strobe-lit club in the basement. Very cool.
