CITY CENTER. 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.
