The Best Bars in Luxembourg City
Luxembourg’s lively bar scene is a direct reflection of its multicultural make-up; from upscale French wine bars to alternative dives and Irish pubs, the city offers an eclectic mix. With such variety, there’s sure to be a little something for every taste.
Whether you’re in search of a sunny spot to share a pint with friends or a more intimate location to enjoy a bottle of wine with loved ones, Luxembourg City has no shortage of unique and inviting bars to choose from. As Fabien Rodrigues, events manager at Buvette, explains, the best bars go above and beyond the standard pub. “When people in Luxembourg go out, they’re looking for more than just a drink. They crave new experiences and dynamic company,” he says. Here are the best bars in Luxembourg City.
1. Brauhaus
Bar, Brasserie, Bistro, German, European
Brauhaus is one of Luxembourg’s newest drinking treasures. Serving both local beers and food, this brasserie is a great option whatever the occasion. Enjoy one of the many brews on tap, perhaps pairing it with a Wiener schnitzel (fried veal) or Kniddelen (dumpling) casserole with Luxembourgish sausage. With a warm yet industrial design, Brauhaus’s cosy atmosphere attracts return customers.
2. The Office
Bar, Cafe, Healthy, Vegan, Vegetarian
The Office is a bar unlike any other. By day it’s a co-working space that draws in creatives from all over, but come nightfall the place transforms into a networking hub where the drinks flow and new connections are made. The eclectic decor and spacious terrace add even more appeal to this bar, making it a must-visit in Luxembourg. The seasonal menu is just as good, with highlights including steak tartare, beef bourgignon and vegetarian enchiladas. Be sure to check The Office’s Facebook page for upcoming events.
4. Max + Moritz
Bar, Restaurant, European
Located just on the outskirts of the city centre in the district of Belair, Max + Moritz is a bar and restaurant that exudes class and sophistication. Regardless of your drink of choice, Max + Moritz has surely got you covered, with more than 15 wines sold by the glass, 35 different gins, an array of signature cocktails and ginger beer brewed in-house. Be sure to pair your drink with some of the delectable bar food, such as truffle grilled cheese made with home-made truffle béchamel sauce.
5. Go Ten
Bar, Beer, Wine, Cocktails, Pub Grub, Coffee, Tea , Street Food
6. Buvette
Bar, Bistro, European
Buvette is likely one of the most unique bars on this list, thanks to its unusual location – the bar is housed within decommissioned railway roadhouses behind Luxembourg train station. According to events manager Fabian Rodrigues, the entire space, known as the Rotondes, is a “one-of-a-kind cultural centre and the perfect place to see and be seen”. The trendy atmosphere is amplified by Buvette’s excellent entertainment schedule, with the bar often hosting live concerts, DJ sets and trivia nights. Make sure to check its Facebook page regularly for a list of upcoming events.
7. Coco Mango
Bar, Cocktail Bar, European
Located on the top floor of the Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal, Coco Mango boasts panoramic views of the Luxembourg City skyline. Come early and enjoy the sunset looking over the Adolphe Bridge and the Golden Lady statue. Coco Mango’s interior is modern and upscale, with purple-hued lights and an elegantly curved bar. An extensive drink menu provides even more reason to pay a visit.
8. Scott’s Pub
Bar, Pub, European
Scott’s Pub is the bar of choice for many who live in Luxembourg’s Grund district. Scott’s hosts a vast array of events, including Black Friday, when all drinks are €1 (£0.80), and Hangover Night, when attendees pay an entrance fee for free drinks all night while dancing to live DJs. In the summer, enjoy a seat on the bustling riverfront terrace, or if the weather doesn’t permit, cosy up by one of the indoor fireplaces.
9. Bazaar
Bar, Mediterranean, Greek
Situated just steps from the Grand Ducal Palace, Bazaar has quickly become one of the most popular bars in the city. A great place for groups, Bazaar serves an impressive range of drinks and cocktails, and has an expansive menu of Mediterranean, Greek and Persian dishes that are made to be shared. For a special treat, ask to be shown downstairs where you’ll find a more club-like atmosphere with a separate bar and music.
10. Café Rocas
Bar, European
If you’re interested in going to a bar that offers more than just a great space to drink with friends, this is the place for you. From stand-up comedy sets and trivia games to Brazilian-themed nights and live jazz, Café Rocas has the entertainment covered. Dubbed an art café, Café Rocas attracts an eclectic clientele, and there’s always something going on. Call in advance or follow on Facebook to find out what’s on the agenda.
