Every local student has a tale about the ‘Dog End’, named after the free tobacco behind the bar. Wallet-friendly daily specials skip from schnitzel to plaice with potato salad. There’s live music a couple of times weekly, as well as bingo and quiz nights. The beer garden has a great buzz in summer. Take tram 1 or 2 to Durlacher Tor.
