Bars & Clubs
Trier · 6 entries
Trier is Germany's oldest city, and you can feel that history in its nightlife. Between Roman ruins and medieval alleyways, a compact but diverse bar scene has developed, driven by the lively student population of the University of Trier. Most bars are concentrated in the city center around the Hauptmarkt and the Simeonstiftplatz axis.
The Bar Scene at a Glance
On Saarstraße, Verzauberbar enchants guests with magical cocktails and has held the top spot on TripAdvisor for years. Craft beer fans will find Craftprotz on Palaststraße with twelve rotating taps. For wine and cocktails with a view of the Porta Nigra, Dian 18zwo on Simeonstiftplatz is the first choice. Coyote Café on Nikolaus-Koch-Platz combines Tex-Mex food with live music. For heavier sounds, Lucky's Luke on Luxemburger Straße serves rock and metal until six in the morning. And Cubiculum on Hosenstraße has offered cellar atmosphere since the 1950s.
