Kreuzherrenneck Bar

Authentic artsy atmosphere is guaranteed and if that is not enough, the live music and bohemian regulars can ensure a night to remember. The bar offers all the customary cocktails, yet the locals always ask for the famous shots that give a taste from all corners of the world such as the crazy combination of Finnish Salmiakki and Alt-Beer, which is called Gedeck. If someone asks for peanuts but then throws them on the floor, this is just another wacky tradition and the cherry on the cake of this brilliant bar.

Upon arrival, it’s clear that ‘ugly’ is meant ironically as this neighborhood has class and beauty. Celebrating a simplistic furniture design, with random lavish arm chairs and sofas here and there for luxury, Ugly Deluxe draws you in with its soft lighting and mysterious ambiance. As well as serving excellent Mediterranean cuisine, the extraordinary collection of wines and Bourbons will draw you back in again and again.

Known for their evening acoustic sessions in a homely atmosphere, Konvex Bar is a popular student hangout that an alternative party-goer would never miss. Interior design just for the non-conformist to feel right at home, the 1960 armed couches and the random flowered deer in the middle of the improvised stage gives the bar a definite quirky feel.

Mojito’s

Bar, Cocktail Bar, Beer, German

Mojito’s is a cocktail master house, as the owner himself went to Cuba to learn about the great flavors in everyone’s favorite cocktails. The bar and terrace offer a mélange between German professionalism and quality: fine spirituous choices, freshness of herbs and friendly service. Tasting the secrets from Havana in Düsseldorf is a rare experience, so choosing from a range of more than 100 cocktails, 60 whiskey types and countless wines is pretty close to Havana heaven.

Bar Alexander

Bar, German

The absolute cocktail obsessed Bar Alexander is one of the most popular places to have a drink at the weekend. As the night progresses it is clear why: the tables are quickly cleared away and the bartender plays the ‘cocktails lottery’ to the excitement of the guests. This bar will make offers none can refuse, as the barkeeper offers five mini-cocktails in a round with insane combinations at decent prices, the Cocktail Flight is the highlight of the night.
