Down in Town

Down in Town at Grapengiesserstrasse 48 brings together two worlds that are rarely found under one roof in Lueneburg: a proper cocktail menu and a shisha offering. The venue goes for a lounge atmosphere with comfortable seating and subdued lighting that invites you to settle in for the long haul. The combination draws a younger crowd looking to ease into the evening.

The cocktails are competently mixed, covering the usual classics along with a few house specials. The shisha selection offers various tobacco blends and flavors. Prices sit in the middle range — neither especially cheap nor excessive by Lueneburg standards. The staff is attentive and happy to help with selections.

The Grapengiesserstrasse location is central enough to fold Down in Town into a longer evening out, while sitting slightly off the beaten path. On weekends, arriving early is worthwhile as seats are limited. During the week, the bar serves as a quiet spot for conversation over a good drink.
