This Barbarossaplatz club is a good choice when they host touring bands in their mid-size auditorium. To get the best of European music, it's best to hear it live, and this venue offers just that opportunity. Nearby bars draw pre-show crowds, and when there isn't a live band, there is usually a good selection of dancing music.

DOWNTOWN. This bar is considered by many to be one of the best sites to hear live regional and international alternative acts. When there are no bands here, check out the dance floor. Well known among younger and more fun-loving locals as a great live music venue.
