    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.

    Ruderclub Mitte

    Bringing quality electronic music back to Mitte is the stated mission of this newish club off Kleine Präsidentenstrasse, where the line-up often features well-known Berlin DJs like Tanith and Namito along with residencies by Mark Reeder and Jack Flash. It's in the S-Bahn arches within Monbijoupark.

    Sage Club

    One of the top clubs of the '90s, Sage is still packing its four dance floors with hotties awed by the shimmering pools and fire-breathing dragon. There's live rock on Thursday; funk, soul and hip hop on Fridays; and electronica on Saturdays and Sundays, which get buzziest after the sun's up.

    Kamikaze

    Freiburg's hippest club, Kamikaze is a cavelike haunt with exposed brick and plump sofas. DJs spin everything from electro to drum'n'bass, with live music every other week. Try the kamikaze bomber - an explosive mix of Jägermeister, apricot brandy and cranberry juice.

    Erste Liga

    You better be a top-rated 'player' to make it into hot 'n heavy 'Premier League'. Beyond the velvet rope awaits a stylish basement club dressed in shock green where high-profile DJs whip the crowd into a frenzy with sassy electro. The cool dance floor lights up with LEDs.

    Café & Klub Luise

    There's a young and relaxed vibe to this ever-so-slightly retro café where, despite the menu, most come to drink. The club below has a wide-ranging programme, from house, indie and '60s flower power, to karaoke and table tennis competitions.

    Café am Hochhaus

    Once a stodgy café only grandmas could love, this tiny joint now heaves with libidinous hipsters decades away from retirement. Cool photo wallpaper and handpicked live DJs keep the sizzle on until the wee hours. Gay tea-dance on Sundays.

    Central Park

    A beach bar without water? 'No problem', said its enterprising owners, who built this summer garden smack bang in the grungy Schanzenviertel. Music, snacks, massages and a kid's playground are often joined by sculpture exhibitions.

    K&K

    Only the name and some of the furnishings recall the days when this was a stuffy Austrian gourmet restaurant and not an upbeat DJ-and-drinks den. Creative lighting gives even pasty-faced hipsters a healthy glow.

    Milchbar

    The colourful lighting makes everyone look good in this youthful bar where live DJs spin house music nightly after 21:00. They've got cocktails and great milk shakes in case you feel like laying off the booze.

    Ilses Erika

    The living-room look makes this small but legendary club feel warm and welcoming. Musicwise, expect indie, retro electronic and whatever the mostly student-age crowd has on their iPod.
