Strasbourg Nightlife

Rather than going to a fancy dance club, my friends and I went to this small Jazz Club called Bistro Jazz Club .

Downstairs is a bar with a few tables, upstairs they have some more tables and play live Music. There are free concerts on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

The bartender spoke French, English and German. Ordering our beers was easy in there.

The only bad point is the price for the beer: € 3.65 for a 25cl beer and a whopping € 6.85 for a pint! Hell, that's even more expensive than Zurich! Iguess they just charched more because we were tourists.

Dress Code: Doesn't matter, there is no Door Man.

You can have a coffee on a lovely square, 'Place du Marché Gayot' in the summer or having a beer close to the cathedral.
There are also nice pubs, like the Nelson or the Irish Times, some bars brewering their own beer, like 'La Lanterne' or 'Les Frères Berthom'.
If you are a beer lover, then you should definitly go the '12 Apotres', next to the cathedral.
When the night is almost over and you are not tired, you can keep on partying at the 'Café des Anges' until 5 am.
Feeling a bit hungry, go the Rock City and meet all your friends.

Dress Code: Nothing special

Lively square, quite near to the University sector, so with a good student-y sort of crowd. The square is taken up almost entirely by cafes and bars, and you can just flit from one to the next.

Dress Code: Anything, really.

Very 'french' and very 'studenty' cafe/bar. Attractive glass frontage gives way to a typically smokey and spartan interior that has a lot of charm and oodles of character. Staff were, well, sullen is one word, but they were efficient and added to the character of the place!

Dress Code: Anything.

JAVA - JIMMY's BAR - LE TROU - Et tous les bars de la KRUTENAU.

Je recommande les soirées de l'école d'archi, à mon avis les plus réussies de la place.
In Alsace, there is a law thatr prohibit BAR and DIsco to be open after 4 o'clock in the mornin g.
So, at this time, all the people are in the street and I enjoy it.
They wait for croissants made by 'MATTER' rue du feaubourg de pierre or for a sandwich at 'THE METRO' or 'ROCk'
This place open at 5 o'clock in the morning for an after.

Well, there's an okay bar called Jimmy's Bar, and another one called Jimmy's Pub, but Strasbourg's going out places are not exactly rocking and rolling. The Waikiki bar is okay, but turned me down for a job once. QWhat possessed me to want to work in a place called the Waikiki i have no idea, it was perhaps my pimp period. Best of all, in my humble opinion, is not the student hellhole le Caveau, beneath the university (the toilets, probably), but LES CATACOMBES, an equally subterrannean but interestingly charming dive not far from Grand' Rue (Longstross in Alsacien, ooooh).

Dress Code: Dress code! You gotta be kidding.

Hey I admit it, I am a day traveler, after leaving my VT friend in Middelburg, I was tired from the long drive to Strausbourg. I met my friends for dinner after I checked into the Ibis hotel. I stayed at the Ibis near the center. Close to walk around La Petite France. We walked the area after the meal and just enjoyed the history and the sites.

Dress Code: A casual dress is all I saw.

I'm afraid that I wasn't here during the night, but I was here for the day and watched this funky little Jazz combo in the square.

Dress Code: Pants and a Banjo.
