The Best Bars in Luxembourg City

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.

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.

Oscar’s is well known to residents as the one and only place where you can get your karaoke fix every Saturday night in Luxembourg. Situated in the Grund neighbourhood, the bar is just steps from the city centre in a charming location along the Alzette River. Pair your drink with one of the fresh hamburgers, which earn rave reviews from customers. If you’re planning a visit during the summer, be sure to call in advance to secure a coveted spot on the expansive terrace. Visit between 5pm and 8pm Monday to Friday to make the most of happy hour, when you can get two-for-one on alcoholic drinks.

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.

Craving a cocktail in Luxembourg? Look no further than Go Ten. This stylish and cosy bar is the perfect setting to enjoy an expertly prepared cocktail or two.

In the winter, Go Ten’s heated outdoor benches fill up quickly, as the bar is in a prime location for people watching. Match your drink with a full meal or small bites from the menu, which features a range of Asian fusion delights.

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.

Located on the top floor of the Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal, Coco Mango boasts panoramic views of the Luxembourg City skyline.

An extensive drink menu provides even more reason to pay a visit.

Scott’s Pub is the bar of choice for many who live in Luxembourg’s Grund district.

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.

Situated just steps from the Grand Ducal Palace, Bazaar has quickly become one of the most popular bars in the city.
