Bremen Entertainment

  1. 2raumlounge

    Another lounge, another great bar and the reliable lynchpin of the somewhat flagging Auf den Höfen scene. Sitting in the space-age orange chairs, you have photos of groups of friends looking down on you, and real people on the mezzanine above. A variety of theme evenings - Desperate Housewives, Oriental and student - brighten up the early part of the week.

  3. Bodega Del Puerto

    Basically, the point of the Schlachte is to walk along it and see which bar you most like the look of. However, should you be in the mood for a Spanish-style place that's a bit quieter than most, pop in here.

  6. Lemon Lounge

    Don't spend too much thought on the fact that this is a one-time Playboy bar of the year. Up the galleried metal stairs there are no bunnies, just friendly staff mixing up great cocktails from the 30-page drinks list. Join the cool but unpretentious crowd of early 1920s to early '40s, by planting yourself on a red leather sofa and enjoying the loungey house music.

  7. Modernes

    South of the river in Neustadt, this converted old movie theatre also hosts live music, and remains Bremen's best club bar none. The centrepiece is the domed roof that can be opened to let in some much-needed air towards the end of the evening.

  13. Stubu Dancehouse

    This long-term Bremen institution has spread its wings and now offers five different spaces over three floors, from the traditional 'music club' in the basement to the new Skyline area, with house, funk and chart hits. Stubu is on a street of wall-to-wall clubs, including the huge, ex-multiplex La Viva (cnr Rembertiring & Auf der Brake). Many Bremers, however, dismiss this area as largely for 'teenies'.
