Heidelberg Travel Forum

Hello all!

Am coming home to Germany to visit my family, and would also like to "mingle with the crowds" on 1 or 2 nights :-) When I left Germany I was still to young (18) to really go to any of the clubs... so it's "catch-up-time" ;-)))
Could you recommend some for me?

(Some of the nightlife tips here on VT are a little bit old, so I wanted to make sure that these bars/clubs are still there, for example "Nachtschicht" and "Eckstein"?)

Basically looking for a place that's relaxed, good music (70s, 80s, rock and pop and house) for dancing and fun times.

Thanks so much in advance!

Jess, take care not to lose your heart over there :-)

Already have my dear... already have... :-)

Jess, you are still running a risk going to Heidelberg:
<Ich hab' mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren,
In einer lauen Sommernacht.
Ich war verliebt bis über beide Ohren>
etc. etc. :-)

That's what my daughter and her friend told me (Both are studying in Heidelberg):
Nachtschicht, still open, they haven't been there, Thursdays are supposed to be good. They say it's very difficult to be admitted.

Eckstein, the name sounded familiar, but they don't know anything about it.

Their favourites are:

Hallo 02, all types of music, is being renovated , so there is a tent now, which my daughter says is even more fun. However, I'm glad I don't live close to this tent.

Havanna, a bar and a dance floor, close to the Kongresszentrum, mostly Latin American music. That's their absolute favourite.

Thank you so much Christine... can you ask them where this "Halo 02" is located?

Sorry, a typo, it's HallE 2. They say it's behind the main train station.

When I was in Heidelberg last summer we went to the Scwimmbad club, I think on Tiergartenstrasse, was great fun as a student for cheesy music. Quite a young crowd though and I don't think the 'cool' people hang out there, but brilliant fun! Enjoy Heidelberg, I'm jealous!
