    Engelsburg

    Good times are pretty much guaranteed at this venerable venue, no matter whether you hunker down for beer and talk in the Steinhaus pub, report to the dance floor of the medieval cellar labyrinth or go highbrow at the upstairs Café DuckDich cultural forum.

    Hemingway

    Everything the macho scribe loved is here in abundance: cigar humidors with personal drawers, 148 types of rum, and 30 different daiquiri cocktails. The Africa Lounge has a local Bambi, though, not an elephant bagged beneath Kilimanjaro.

    Weinstein LeBar

    This is as unassuming a wine bar as wine bars should be: soft music, candlelight and as many as 50 wines by the glass, including some hard-to-get bottles from the nearby Saale-Unstrut Valley. A basic snack menu is available.

    Kasseturm

    A little hipper than 'Schütze', Kasse is another venerable student club, with an assorted bag of parties, concerts, drum workshops and whatever else gets people off the couch. Three floors of action, for young and old.

    Dubliner

    On weekends it seems everybody's popping by to knock back pints of Kilkenny or Guinness at this boisterous Irish thirst parlour (is there any other kind?). Whiskey's all the rage downstairs.

    Studentenclub Schützengasse

    The grunge factor is high at this student club, which may be just what the doctor ordered as an antidote to highbrow burnout. Monday movie nights and salsa nights also provide diversions.

    Planbar

    Past the heavy door awaits this good-looking bar with an unpretentious, all-ages crowd that likes to knock back the mojitos, flirt with the bartenders and wave to the DJs.

    Not only children will be enchanted by the adorable marionettes and puppets that perform at this cute theatre in a historic woad storehouse (reached via Mettengasse).
