Cozy, open, casual cafe right off of the south side of the Weser and minutes from Hochschule…read moreBremen. Beautiful open windows letting in plenty of natural light, laid-back funk beats, friendly staff, and a pleasant mix of comfortable and well-loved wohnzimmer furniture accompanied by traditional table seating to accommodate all sorts of people with all sorts of reasons to stop in. Stop by for a coffee, beer, and a soup or spontaneous dish of the day before it runs out. Event/music venue in addition--and did I mention: Free Wifi? Karton and its evening-life counterpart around the corner, Papp, are delightful Neustadt establishments serving up care-free culture and tunes.

Always busy in the evenings, especially on the weekend, Hegarty's is a fun place for drinks with…read morefriends. There are regular events (weekly quiz nights, live music, etc.) and typically an international crowd. Food is a disappointment however. Avoid the hamburgers, they are expensive and pretty bland. Other food is not bad but you can find better in Viertel.

This is a heavy metal bar with nice patrons.. we stayed a few days across from this bar and had to…read morestop in..For one last beer. totally funny. When you walk into the "Fear Bar" you see posters of metal rock bands.... and Dragons, Bats having from ceiling, and even a short fake coffin and a few skull heads... But the bartender and patrons are all nice.. Mostly had a touch of black or goth to their outfits. Beirs were reasonable. Scary comic books on the bar. nice lounge seating and good metal music!! I think Thursday night has some regulars for years. We talked to Lars.. and he was nice. Defiantly a unique atmosphere.. But gave us a smile and wasn't creepy.. Rock on with heavy metal!!!

By far the best Irish Pub in Bremen, Germany! Great atmosphere and great people. You are guaranteed…read morea fun time at this place any day of the week. If this pub gets a bit too "wild" for you, the good thing is that right above it there is a more "stylish" lounge called LOFT, which is also a great place to hang out and enjoy a great night. Paddy's Pit is a great bar to visit if you are ever in Bremen, just ask for a couple of shots of Ficken at the bar and you will be set!

This was an amazing end to our day in Bremen. The staff was so nice and the atmosphere was top…read morenotch Irish experience. The entire bar kept an eye on us to make sure we were having a great time. You do need euro's to pay since they don't accept card but other than that it was one of the best places we visited. Enjoy!

Fabrik is a brilliant concert venue. The roof is so high that it feels like a cathedral, but…read moreactually I think it used to be a factory of some kind. There are (at least) three levels, but when I was there they had only opened up one and a half. Even so there was loads of space. I can't believe that it took me a year to finally get along to Fabrik - I'll definitely be back - I'd like to go for one of their club nights

Was there yesterday (second time) to see Black Seeds from NZ. Great gig and the choice of the venue…read morewas perfect: 1) it's relatively small (it was about 500 people yesterday and it was full) so the band can interact with public and pass on the energy. When you're close to the stage - you feel it! 2) very informal, relaxed atmosphere. Drinks are sold at the bar, also there is a snack bar in the corner. 3) there are also places to sit and inner balcony/gallery upstares - need to try it next time! Verdict: great music venue, will go again. Darjeeling

Very bizarre place, this is. We went to see Ladytron here last night (see separate review) and were…read moreonly allowed into the concert hall a full 40 minutes after doors open. Sound was horrible throughout the night and the 40 minute intermission between warm-up band and main act was almost unbearable (I don't have anything against Johnny Cash, but 40 minutes of him straight through during the wait for an electro concert?). I'm not sure I'd want to come back here to see a concert. I was disappointed by the setup and the way the evening was logistically handled.

This is a biased review because this is where I died and went to heaven. I have returned to the…read moreland of the living for my family (and to write this review) but I want it noted that this is the scene of my first departure from this Earth. Honestly, I don't know if I'm used to everything being so expensive in San Francisco but I found this place to be incredibly inexpensive. I saw a concert and had a drink for less than €25. My import beer was €4. That is just insanely cheap. How are they making money? I nursed my one beer for fear of having to go to the bathroom and missing out on ANYTHING. I was upstairs in the beautiful but small concert area and wasn't about to lose my spot near the stage. And then the concert started and then I died. Surrounded by a bunch of sort-of-likeminded fans, it was a great place to feel like, "OMG. Can anyone actually survive from being this happy?!" By the nights end, some lovely gal finally convinced me to put my coat back on before going outside and probably actually freezing to death. Could I really freeze to death, though? When one is so overly blissed out from chatting with Matthew Mole, the best singer in the whole entire world, who is super entirely nice, and omg, so sweet, and wonderful, and amazing, and is so worth everything it took to get here... oh, my heart. How the Prinzebar was able to contain all of this is beyond me. The guy at the coat check counter was also super lovely. Great intimate venue, insanely cheap prices, and filled with tons of really amazing feelings. Swoon!
