Top 10 Things To Do In Stuttgart At Night

Stuttgart is a city with a thriving cultural scene – and this ensures that there are many live performances by different bands and solo artists. By night there are many forms of entertainment to enjoy ranging from traditional German pubs (kneipen) and clubs to the theatre. The main focus for much of the nightlife is Theodor-Heuss-Straße which has a great variety of pubs and clubs.

 

Stuttgart hosts a great wine festival in August and its Oktoberfest is popular with a sea of beer tents. The Stuttgart Christmas Market is a perfect winter weekend destination to enjoy. If you are in the city and keen to know the diary of events, get a copy of LIFT magazine as it has all the details.

This is Germany’s ‘greatest close-up magic theatre’ and is an amazing place to visit! 200 people packed into the room with Thorsten Strotmann sitting right in front of them so they can watch his hands and his props! He is both friendly and amusing.  He continually performs the unexpected to the audience’s delight. In the interval, there are drinks and snacks available in the foyer.

 

6. A perfect summer’s evening at Deli

Situated by the Hans-Im-GlÜk fountain, this is a real institution! Deli is the perfect place on a summer’s evening, with a large terrace and an almost daily changing menu. If you decide to go, get there by 7.30 p.m. to ensure a seat as it fills up quickly.

 

7. Great music at Rote Kapelle (The Red Chapel)

With a wonderful setting opposite the Freursee (Fire Lake) and Gothic Johanneskirche, this is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some Spanish tapas and other dishes. Mid-evening, the DJ starts to turn up the tempo and the volume and the result is a LOUD but fun club!
