The 28 best rooftop bars in Leipzig

Was visiting on vacation from the US and was served by Elaine, who is probably the best human in the world. She was extremely friendly, was happy to explain the large menu in English to me, and was very knowledgeable. The atmosphere was great and the drinks were killer. I’m booking my flight back now just to come drink here for a week.

The food is excellent and the drinks are fantastic. I really enjoyed the video the host made about himself and his restaurant, it plays on a loop and adds a fun, personal touch. The waitstaff are generally very friendly and attentive. However, the biggest disappointment is that despite having plenty of outdoor seating, the restaurant doesn’t serve guests outside, even on a beautiful, sunny September day. That alone is enough reason for us not to return.

This was an experience! The Vodkaria bar is a bar that puts a specific focus on Vodka drinks and coctails. The selection is amazing and extremely broad, the menu is informative and funny, staff is friendly, atmosphere is unique and quality of service is awesome! It is sometimes hard to find unique bars with a character, this was one of them. Next time i visit Leipzig, this place will be a go-to place definitely. There is also food available but we were there just for some drinks so cannot comment on that.

On holiday in Leipzig from England with friends, stopped for a beer and ended up getting another 5 rounds and food. The place has a massive selection of vodkas and vodka cocktails, with Nordic and Russian food to complement. If you don't fancy that then the beer is pretty good too. Atmosphere was great the whole evening, the staff were all really friendly and made the night. Will definitely be back next time we're in the city

The meat in the Solijanka Soup was tough but the soup was tasty. We ordered Pelmeni with Tomato sauce and Wareniki with Dill cream. We got Wareniki with Sour cream and the tomoto sauce was so bad that it tasted like it was directly from a can (very watery, no salt, no herbs). I told the waitress that it is embarassing for a cook/restaurant to serve such a sauce and the cook should first taste the food before it goes out. We then got a new plate of Pelmeni with DILL cream. Besides the tomato sauce fiasco, the Pelmeni and Wareniki were delicious and the waitress very friendly.

What a great place, huge selection of Vodka. Food menu is interesting, I had the cabbage soup it was tasty, the steak was cooked with strawberries, nice presentation. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Very nice service, good food, great atmosphere

Terrence in the middle of Leipzig. Great vibes especially in the summer. Live Music. The prices are however on the expensive End. Overall recommended

Nice rooftop view for Leipzig. We came on a rainy night, but the waitress is helpful enough to replace the outdoor sofa with dry cushion. It is really cool to have a "fire place" nearby the seat. Waiter speaks good English and the environment is cozy and lively.

Rooftop terrace of bar cabana it's amazing, you can get one of the best views of Leipzig, and workers are always taking care of you. Amazing food, amazing prices and amazing ambience.

Beautiful place to spent some time on top of Leipzig …. great view, cosy and chillin place

Excellent ambience and the perfect place for nice pictures. A place to enjoy and relax.

Very well service (especially from Papula) i enjoyed my drinks, taste nice! and dj is also cool 😎

View is great, but the staff very rude and inattentive. One of the waitresses broke my full wine and water glass and spilled everything over the table and my clothes. She did not even offer to bring new ones. I had to bring the incident up to several other waiters / bar managers before receiving a "replacement". I also ordered a burger, which should be of great quality for the price, but was swimming in oil and very greasy. Definitely room for improvement.

We found it on the Google Maps and give it a go! The restaurant itself was underground and it was beautiful, lots painted walls and painted columns! The food itself was not really that great but is pretty good with portions. The lamb shoulder I ordered was pretty bland. We were going to order some dessert but our waitress was no where to be found for 10 minutes. We lost the appetite when she finally shows up!

I've always wanted to visit this famous place, and today I finally had the chance since I was out in the city for some errands and decided to have lunch there. We visited just before 2 PM, and since it was a quiet time with fewer customers, we were able to get seated immediately. The peaceful and calm atmosphere made for a relaxing meal and good conversation. Thanks to that, we didn’t have to wait or make a reservation, which was very convenient. However, after being shown to our seats, it took about 10 minutes before we could place our order. The appetizer (soup) was served approximately 25 minutes later, and the main dishes arrived about 30 minutes after that. Altogether, from being seated to receiving our main courses, it took nearly an hour. Fortunately, we had plenty of time today, but if you’re on a tight schedule, I recommend planning accordingly and arriving with extra time. The staff was polite, the food was delicious, and the portions were very generous. The interior had warm colors and a clean, well-organized feel, which added to the pleasant atmosphere.

This is an old German restaurant in the heart of Leipzig. According to urban legend, it's mentioned in Goethe's immortal Faust. It's advisable to make a reservation, although we were able to find a seat. I really liked the ambiance and service, but the food could have been better.

I went there based on the reviews. Honestly the food portions are huge me & my wife ordered 2 veal schnitzel plates and I believe one was enough with an appetiser perhaps. Now the atmosphere inside was quite chic and the waiters were quite nice however, it was definitely over priced and there was a rusty smell inside that would not make you comfortable to stay for long. Keep in mind you would pay for almost anything. I paid 2€ for tap water for 2 cups !! and 2€ to take the leftovers as takeaway which was completely weird for me !! And to top it off using the bathroom was 0.5€ per visit can you imagine this !!!. I would honestly think there are way cheaper places to try the same dish in Leipzig than this one, definitely a touristic trap!!

The boar steak, the Blauklaut and Knodels were absolutely delicious. Also the atmosphere and themes are breathtakingly memorable. If you are in Leipzig, you must visit here!

Food was cold and overall Atmosphere was below expectations. Price performance wasn't appropriate. Service personel was very kind.

We do not recommend Auerbachs Keller's vegetarian dishes to vegetarians. The main courses were a big disappointment! We were very curious based on the reviews and to try the restaurant. We did not have a reservation on Saturday evening, but after a few minutes of waiting we got a free table. We knew that mainly meat dishes "go" in the restaurant. However, there were some vegetarian main courses on the online menu, so we were happy to try them. The employees were very nice. The soups were delicious (but extremely overpriced - a small cup is 9-9.50 Euros). Ok. So be it! The cellar is nice! But for the 23 Euro vegetarian main courses to be just stewed greens with a little pasta or cream? Outrageous and underrated! German vegetarian cuisine is much more than that! This visit was a bad gastronomic experience and a waste of money for us. There is no service, if the food is bad!

We visited the restaurant in 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed the 2 Hat Restaurant but unfortunately it closed. We returned to the "Heavenly" bar but unfortunately other than the view, the uniqueness, the ambience, the Falcons... have all been replaced by a disinterested, soulless, employee that seems to have made it to the top floor by lottery rather than talent or personality. Obnoxiously loud music and lack of any atmosphere meant we spent several minutes only before deciding to adjourn to the Lobby Bar where we enjoyed excellent service, quiet background music and a nice selection of drinks.

WHAT A NIGHT ! • Phantastic Food / 5 course Delicious cocktails / try the one with rum Flor de Caña Wonderful wines / thx to the sommelier The dessert was not of my taste - but besides: 👌 • Pls go there and enjoy the stunning view and the incredible hospitality & communication between the owner / the team & the bar manager Lars ♻️☀️🤝 • Thank you very much! • Check it out (reservation is a must!) when you are in the area

I ate there on 22/10/2020. Half of the dishes were very sour and not enjoyable. On top of that, it is extremely expensive (and I've dined in 3 Michelin starred restaurant in Paris before). At first, it seemed like at least the service was good, but as the evening went on the crew got less and less talkative and caring up to a point where I felt they don't really care about me as much as expected. Overall, I left the restaurant with a really bad feeling, like I was scammed. The guy who walked me outside barely said bye and thanks even though I left a 10% tip which is not the standard in Germany and which was 30€. To make things even worse, the cab driver also ripped me off. I don't recommend you going to this restaurant unless you want to go back to your hotel feeling like you want to cry.

Good service, nice view, and somewhat confusing food. It's good and is cooked perfectly, but sometimes there is too much confusion in the dish, with too many different flavor, making it hard to read the dish.

For a special evening I recommend this place !!

Total disaster, we wanted to get to the bar and they simply blocked the elevator. I guess no interest in paying customers, for whatever reason. Don’t go there.

Friendly and engaged staff. Nice view. Great dinner options.

I want to like this place but every time i ordered something there was much left to be desired. The coffee was very badly made and not good (had cappuccino, pic included). The cococa on top is an "icing on cake" :D. The burger, well, what can i say. Not very tasty, pretty mid, but was not bad. It just felt like something you make home when you buy 1 loaf of bread and a bit of ground beef, put most basic mayonese and some salad on it so it looks healthy. It wasn't bad, but it was just lazy. For 10 euros (only burger, fries were extra 5 euros and that was also disappointing) i'd expect a bit more. The staff is amazing, lovely, helpful. The place is magical, both outside and inside. I just wish i could get my money worth here, but i can't say i did.

Super cozy yet lively cafe. Great to people watch and catch a glimpse of vibrant Karli Straß. Cafe features brunch food, lunch, all sorts of cocktial drinks and dessert. Definitely a must stop in Leipzig.

Very nice service, good and enough food! Also wonderful interior and quiet. It was very worth it. Good cost-effective. One of best brunch cafe in Leipzig

Nice food and amazing friendly service

One of the best and oldest places in moscow unbeatable taste and design

I’ve been here a few times for a coffee. The biggest plus for me is the interior. Wow, just wow! Another big plus is that they have plugs to charge your laptop, which means it's a good alternative to Starbucks, especially if you also consider that it's much less crowded during the day. I think next time I’ll try the food and perhaps a milkshake and if they are also impressive, I’ll give it a 5.

Perfect place to spend some time in Leipzig’s calm-down nature. My suggestion is a perfect match made of a hot vegan chili and a refreshing mojito🥣🍹

The atmosphere was fantastic! I really enjoyed the vibe. The staff was incredibly understanding and helpful with the menu. I only speak English, and I had no trouble ordering drinks. Thanks for the great drinks and service! I highly recommend the Jack Cola if you’re unsure what to get.

Great bar with lot of local people, great staff, great drinks, everything is good. Not a lot of people at the begining but the bar is full after 10/11pm. The entry is discrete and hidden so don't miss it! Thanks to Timmy's service, he is very nice and professionnal! I do recommend this cocktail bar!

We were on a companytrip and had an amazing time here during the first night in Leipzig. Cocktails were good, music was very good. We left with a 250€ bill, and we decided to go back there with more people than sunday on our last night. It clearly depends on who’s serving that night, because one of the two guys wasnt happy at all when we came in. Really did everything in its way to make it clear we were not welcome. When we decided to go for another round of cocktails - the bartender must have misheard what we said because he thought we asked to pay for 7 cocktails (even though we had 9, so i don’t know why he only accounted us for 7) but we really asked for 7 more. He refused to serve us so we had a bit of a discussion at the bar, and we decided to leave it before it got to heated. We -obviously- payed for the 2 cocktails we still had to pay for and left. We won’t come back here again - that bartender cost you a lot turnover that night because we were there with 10 people and a company expense card. Might have been your best tuesday night yet.

One of the best bars in the city !!! Great variety of Cocktails and other drinks ! The atmosphere is always positive, the waiters are very friendly and attentive. Also in the bar smoking is allowed! and music between the 80s and 2010 with video clips make the Bar UNIQUE in the city ! I LOVE It !

We were eager to try the cocktails at this place. As we descended the steps down to the underground local, we noticed a heavy, dense and unconfortable atmosphere. We were led to a table and quickly discovered the reason: several customers were heavlily smoking. I find this a no-go for a place which, appparently, takes pride in the taste of their creations.

The cocktails were excellent. People are allowed to smoke inside, so beware of the smoke if you have breathing issues.

They speak English and the drinks are very good, quiet place, music is a bit loud so you can't talk.

Amazing place (and dj sets, especially on the room downstairs), they even have food trucks on the outside. We came around midnight on a Friday night waited for 1h but it was definitely worth it. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Don’t forget to retrieve some cash before coming (mandatory for the entrance)

Always had a great Time with friends and strangers. The door is polite and calm. Bar is always nice. Big probs to the Awarenessteam, luckily I never needed them seriously. I hope we see us soon at the new location.

best club in town. impressive saturday raves. save for everyone, dance as you like, everyone‘s welcome here. LOVE IT!

In March of this year, I visited Distillery. It was my first time clubbing alone. I queued for about 40 minutes in a line for those with tickets because it was shorter than the no-ticket line, even though I didn't have a ticket myself. A bouncer asked to see my ID and ticket. I showed him my ID and explained that I hadn't bought a ticket yet. He was friendly and let me in anyway. The dance and music were very good. But, unfortunately I began to feel too much and unwell due to my own stupidity. I approached a young woman staff, and she took me to a small room where one or two guests who wasn't feeling well was also present. I was feeling quite unwell and started talking nonsense. The staff member calmed me down and talked with me. Other guests only stayed there for a few minutes and then left, but she was incredibly patient with me and assisted me for 3 hours! I feel bad for putting her through this because of my stubbornness. She had kindly suggested that I should go home, but I was stubborn about going back to the dance floor despite not feeling well. I'm grateful that she took care of me instead of kicking me out immediately. It was a big lesson for me, and I won't repeat the same mistake again. Many thanks to Distillery and the entire team. I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a good and safe techno club in Leipzig. The music, sound system, and awareness team are perfect! My only complaint would be about the cleanliness of the toilets, but I think it's quite average for a techno club in Germany

Good party! But you need to wait long to go inside, also when it is not so full..

Very good club for genuine techno lovers. Love the Leipzig vibe which is unprententious and friendly.

I would say one of the best techno clubs in Leipzig , great djs , long opening hours (party goes till 11 am almost every weekend ) and the community is great , the price is a bit expensive tho

Excellent traditional Irish pub with great food, friendly staff and a lively atmosphere. We had their burger and fish and chips, washing everything down with some Guiness and absolutely loved everything!

Amazing food, their Schnitzel was amazing with some really delicious gravy. Prices are quite reasonable.

I would have given 4 starts for the food and friendly staff but a friend of mine had ordered A cottage pie and it was served like a soup. There was little bit disappointment there. Plus, the kitchen was overly busy so we got our food after more then 1 hour. We were told before hand about the delay still it wasn’t the best experience. Hence the 3 stars. The food and drinks were good.

Nice classic place! A bit too busy sometimes, but c'est la vie. I wish they had negroni sbagliato on the cocktails menu

Nice bar with very friendly personel. Definitively worth a visit when you are in town, the neighbourhood is also very nice!

The interior and the music is nice. The burger is good, but the meat should be twice as big considering the price. I really like the Deep Fried Mars Bar dessert. The staff is mixed. There are people very cool and kind and people extremely rude. If you have personal issues, please figure them out and don't bring them to work.

Good food good beer, service was nice, atmosphere was classic.

Fine craft pub. Offers tap beer as well as bottled craft beer from a number of foreign breweries. Stronger drinks also available, e.g. Krsch, Leipziger Allasch or Beer liquor. Plus very friendly staff.

My favourite bar in Leipzig so far, with an exquisite selection of most interesting craft beers (including non-alcoholic ones) of all styles, varieties and tastes. Staff is very welcoming and attentive, and always ready to advise. The bar is easy to get to by public transportation and located just around the corner of the HTWK. Highly recommended to anyone! :)

Great changing selection of craft beers, both from Germany and abroad. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. If you're into beer, be sure to also check out the selection "off tap". I had a nice time, thanks Dr. Hops!

The waiter who attended us is maybe the places' owner. He is a very nice guy and he sells amazings beers. If you are in Leipzig and like craft beer, don't forget visit Dr Hops.

Wonderful beers, great music and atmosphere.

Huge selction of beers from everywhere in the world and strange different flavours. Perfect atmosphere for an evening with friends, and the waiter/owner was super friendly! Just keep in mind that the beers will be slightly more expensive..

One of the few places in Leipzig with a broad variety of beers for a great price. They regularly offer events like live bands and movie nights. The kurbis-coco soup is very tasty.

The gelato was mid the but the staff was wonderful and kind even though I do not speak German.

(Translated by Google) The café is open until 7 p.m.! At 6:45 p.m. my husband asked very politely if we could get 2 more cups of coffee! This was answered rather bluntly and the lady continued to clean her front door! If you don't want tourists, it's better not to put a table and chairs in front of the door! Now purchasing in the online shop is no longer possible! (Original) Das Café hat bis 19:Uhr geöffnet! Um 18:45 Uhr fragte mein Mann ganz höflich, ob wir noch 2 Tassen Kaffee bekommen könnten! Das wurde ziemlich schnippisch verneint und die Dame putzte munter ihre Eingangstür weiter! Wenn man keine Touristen will, stellt man besser nicht Tisch und Stühle vor die Tür! Nun fällt auch noch der Kauf im Onlineshop aus!

Chocolates are very delicious and we’ve also tried ice cream. It was also delicious.

(Translated by Google) My partner and I took a chocolate class today. It was incredibly educational and a lot of fun. We also had plenty of time to snack. The instructor was super sweet and very patient. We highly recommend it. (Original) Mein Partner und ich hatten heute einen Schokoladenkurs. Es war voll lehrreich und hatte ganz viel Spaß gemacht. Auch das Naschen kam dabei nicht zu kurz. Die Kursleiterin war super lieb und sehr geduldig. Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen.

(Translated by Google) A narrow, beautifully decorated, enveloped and cellophane-wrapped Easter tree cake ring with a handwritten use-by date of May 8th, 2025, probably at a retail price of over €20, was a big disappointment after it was opened yesterday and started eating in a small coffee group: cheap chocolate, including old, very firm, tasteless, dry tree cake, parts of the partly colored Easter decorations on the chocolate tasted soapy. Price-performance? W.Hentze Addendum; The 3 stars were wrong - there shouldn't be any at all because of the poor quality. (Original) Ein schmaler, wunderschön, dekorierter, kuvertierter und in Zellophan verpackter Oster-Baumkuchen-Ring mit handgeschriebenem Verbrauchsdatum 08.05.2025, wohl zum Verkaufspreis von über 20 € war nach gestriger Öffnung und begonnenem Verzehr in einer kleinen Kaffeerunde eine große Enttäuschung: billige Kuvertüre, darunter alter, sehr fester, geschmackloser, trockener Baumkuchen, Teile der z.T. farbigen Oster-Deko auf der Kuvertüre schmeckten seifig. Preis:Leistung? W.Hentze Nachtrag; Die 3 Sterne waren falsch gedrückt - es sollte wegen der schlechten Qualität gar keiner sein.

(Translated by Google) Super delicious ice cream! Very generous balls. Not too sweet and still very tasty. I would love to come back here.🥰 (Original) Super leckeres Eis! Sehr großzügige Kugeln. Nicht zu süß und trotzdem sehr geschmackvoll. Komme gerne wieder hierher.🥰

(Translated by Google) Best chocolate ice cream I've eaten in Leipzig so far. Very strong in taste, in contrast to many other ice cream parlors, whose ice cream tastes almost nothing like cocoa and costs only slightly less. Sure it's a little more expensive, but it's worth it and the balls are big. The strawberry raspberry ice cream was also good. The employee was very friendly. (Original) Bestes Schokoeis, das ich bisher in Leipzig gegessen habe. Sehr kräftig im Geschmack im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Eisdielen, deren Eis fast gar nicht nach Kakao schmeckt und nur geringfügig weniger kostet. Klar ist es etwas teurer, aber ist es wert und die Kugeln sind groß. Das Erdbeer-Himbeer-Eis war auch gut. Die Mitarbeiterin war sehr freundlich.

Pretty nice view, BUT the service was insanely terrible. A lady our server ignored us after she said that she would be right with us , 20mins laters not a check back 30 mins in the restaurant in the evening not even a drink on the table for us. This place is too busy just to have little servers. We were also told the food wait was 1hr which is kinda crazy. 2 stars.

Horrible service! We waited 25 minutes for someone to take our order and they did only because I asked twice. We waited another 35!!!! minutes for an Aperol Spritz. I asked a young guy and he rolled his eyes at me and didn’t even come to the table to hear me out. He was rolling his eyes and pointing at the main waitress. He has brown hair and a silver necklace. Disgusting.

Popped in to try the local Leipzig beer. Waiters kindly pointed out that it can be a bit sour so offered a taster before ordering. Seemed friendly and helpful service. Very happy to sit outside and watch the world go by.

We went inside - no friendly faces from the personel. We sat down and waited to order. No one looked at us and the place was not fully booked. I am ok with waiting not with “no interest”. All in all a very rude experience we left again without ordering.

Location, Location! It is in the heart of the city and always full! Hard to miss it! We sat upstairs, which is somehow cool but little bit too tight to be comfortable ,especially if you want to eat. It is very good decorated with a vivid atmosphere. The service is friendly but stressed, but of course we totally understand this cause it was FULL!!! But even so they were fast and efficient. Thumbs up for this!!! We were there for quite some time. The coffee isn't the best to be honest. Cocktails are good. Food was tasty and the prices also good! For sure we are coming back:-)

Firstly on Sunday night for drinks (reasonable price), great location by the market square overlook the opposite old town hall. Tuesday morning came here for breakfast (Egg Benedict on baguette, Salmon breakfast with salad & bread - all delicious) and on the square were a happening market with local sellers & citizens. A waiter/tress gets your order but some other sends it, I guess this system is opted cause there are many tables, so just wave to a waiter if you have not been served.

Was walking around looking for a late dinner bite after watching a concert at Gewandhaus Orchester. Thankful to spot this place - there were many people eating and chatting at the al fresco area. We ordered Spizz Special Burger €13.50 and Fruchtiges Hahnchencurry (fruity chicken curry) €13.90. Service was good and fast (the waiter who took our order and bill was pleasant, polite, responsive; another waiter who served our food was also pleasant and polite), food also came quite quickly in 10-15mins. Food was tasty and portions good, although the burger was only slightly warm instead of hot. Would have also liked if the chicken curry with basmati rice came piping hot. We chose to sit outside as we enjoy the cool natural air, and took our chances with other diners smoking.

I recently visited Imperii Leipzig for dinner and had a generally enjoyable experience. The place itself is nicely decorated, creating a stylish and modern ambiance. The staff were excellent—friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure we had a good time. The food was also a highlight, with each dish tasting great and showing attention to quality and presentation. However, it’s important to note that Imperii leans more towards a bar atmosphere, which means it’s quite lively and can get loud. If you’re looking for a quiet place to focus on your meal and conversation, this might not be the best setting. That said, if you’re in the mood for tasty food and a vibrant, energetic environment, Imperii is a solid choice. Ideal for those who want to enjoy a meal amidst the buzz of a lively bar scene.

Cocktails are very special, and pretty fancy presentation. I can imagine if some of them are designed for competition. The cheif bartender was very friendly and I feel sorry for him that I have to leave this bad review. The people doing the service outside really ruined the night! I felt that one of the waiteress was already drunk, and at certain point there was even an "employee party" outside. Not sure if this is the vibe your team want to create, but I certainly don't appreciate it. Maybe better to have a policy that prohibits your emplyees from drinking too much during the shift?

Impeccable service and food. We had a few plates to share. Would recommend the garlic prawns and Japanese cabbage pancake and the fish was delicious. Couldn’t fault anything and the service was great. The waitresses spoke English and gave us a menu in English.

Absolutely fantastic! There was not one thing we ate that wasn’t delicious, every single detail was taken care of, to make delicious dishes. The cocktails were delicious and super fun. The place is cool, with good soft music. The service was just so friendly and attentive. It’s worth the price you pay. We’ll for sure be coming back!

Very nice place to have some unusual cocktails and a not that big but good menu. Ok they missed my reservation but luckily there was still a table available and it was a bit confusing to have a waiter who only spoke English. Fine for me but sure not for everybody. The cocktails are really interesting and the food delicious and definitely 5*. Only the waiter was a little bit too fast in asking you what you want to order. Makes a bit feeling like being in a rush. Nevertheless I ll come back and try different things from the menu.

Tasty cocktail with beautiful cup and good service . It was really a nice experience to get inside and have a try. No wonder it is the Top 50 bars in Germany.

A really fancy bar to have food and drinks that are also made so professionaly and so delicious,tasty.if you want to try something different for your date this place most be tried.

Had a business lunch with "all you can eat" option for 12,9 euro per person. Quite good. Not perfect but I will check again later to create a full picture. Drinks are not included in "all you can eat". There is a choice between chicken, pork, fish (baked in egg). They have rice, Pommes, vegetables (also with cheese). Four salads to choose from. Two kinds of soups. Bread. Different sauses. Personal are friendly.

Good little place Food was pretty good, service could have been a little better but over all a nice spot. Would come again

A pleasant restaurant located on a narrow street between similar places. The staff were very nice and friendly, although there was a slight misunderstanding because we didn't speak German and the staff didn't speak English. We chose dishes from the seasonal menu featuring chanterelle mushrooms. The quality and presentation of the dishes deserve high praise. The price is average, roughly in line with the class of the establishment.

Great breakfast buffet with a wide variety of options and very professional service. 100% recommended!

The first thing I noticed when walking in was the background music, which was mostly inaudible, apart from the bass line. Some people like this, so not a complaint, rather an observation. We ordered two burgers, and drinks. My coke was flat, so I asked for a replacement. The replacement was also flat. I guess it came from the same bottle. The burgers arrived and were cold. I ordered a smashed burger, but what arrived was a limp slop of minced beef, and it was cold. The other burger was a regular cheeseburger, and that too was only lukewarm. Unfortunately we cut our visit short then and there, paid €16 for two drinks which we left and went somewhere else.

I came here for them! Amazing

Great service, they have menus in english if you need. Music is very good and they have live music after 8pm. Food is tasty and no words for beer 🤤

This café has excellent coffee and outstanding service. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere makes you feel welcome. Highly recommended!

There's a great place in the heart of Leipzig. The service is great. Bit you should take into consideration Gouliasch has only meat and water in it))) It's my first time I tasted it like this)) The local Bier is very delicious

Really nice place and lovely kind staff. Atmosphere here is amazing in the heart of Leipzig!

Went there with a couple of colleagues and we were amazed by this place. There is a musician who plays the piano, which give a very cozy atmosphere. Every couple minutes there is this little devil jumping out off the ceiling, which always came as quite a surprise. The cocktails were fantastic and the prices awesome. Definitely recommend checkint this place out!

Generally an excellent bar. Cocktails are very good. The cakes are the best in Leipzig in my view. Only downside is that it is a smokers bar. Other than that a great place.

Nice and mystical cafe. Something that u won’t forget. Special effects and atmosphere there are so cool. Sadly that they don’t have barista coffee machine, but they have nice cocktails that r made really fast. U also can smoke inside, so for non smokers it won’t be a best place to chill, but smokers will definitely enjoy few cigarettes with nice cocktail in that special location. enjoy;)

Very cosy and artistic atmosphere, tasty cakes and good coffee

Zest is not the place to come, if you want to fill your empty stomach. It is to experience a new level of creativity which is rare to see in Leipzig. This vegan restaurant is quite far from center, but it is worth the ride and worth the price. All the elements on the plate is so interesting, sometimes don't match each other, but they create a nice emotion rollercoaster for all diners. For more reviews, visit #huyenmunch Instagram ;)

Great place for vegan cuisine. Next level vegan dishes. Fantastic service. Great value for money. Definitely worth it. Will be back again. Thanks for a great evening.

Exquisit vegan restaurant that offers a great selection of starters, main dishes, desserts, home made lemonades, ice cream, wine and cocktails. We sampled only a small selection but found each and everything well balanced, containing a multitude of different tastes and nuances of haut cuisine. For sure a place with going to and have a vegan dinner date. I'm so happy to have found this little gem and will have it on my personal shortlist for Leipzig any day.

Amazing experience from start to finish. The service is welcoming and friendly, the food in sensational and it’s a lovely venue. It’s not cheap but I think for the quality of the food it’s actually great value - a similar experience in any other big European city would cost so much more. Well worth a visit. They have two dining slots, one from 5pm and one from 8pm. We arrived at 5 and spent a very pleasant 3 hours enjoying the food and wine on a sunny summer evening on their pavement tables. A must try in Leipzig, I can’t wait to return!

Absolutely fantastic food, deserts and wine selection. Worths every cent!

The food was 5/5, there is no question about that. The service should have been better for the money. You have to wait long to order, no explanation about what you are eating, not asking for new drinks. We were in between two seatings of people and we noticed that they had issues getting everybody seated on time, which lead to the restaurant being full with standing/waiting people. The atmosphere was good and comfortable, however the door towards the toilet leads you outside first. So together with the front door it created a lot of cold air. Something that was pretty uncomfortable.

Favorite place in Leipzig, if not favorite place ever. The food is always amazing, fresh, and an unexpected surprise and combination. You will never be bored as the menu is seasonal and changes monthly. Service is kind, patient, and professional. With a special thank you to the francophone Gastgeber.

I visited Leipzig to see a friend, and we decided to check out this club, expecting a fun night. We’re both good-looking, and we waited in line for about 20 minutes before the guard stopped us and the first question was if I spoke Arabic. I found that odd and said yes, even though I’m half French, half Algerian, not Arab. He then switched to Arabic and told us that the club was 'full of guys' and that we’d need to be with girls to enter. I explained that we didn’t know anyone in the city and were just hoping to have a good time before I left. Still, he insisted that 'those were the rules.' Such a disappointing experience—I’ll never go back

Great music, solid vibes – worth a visit! Had a fun night at Elsterartig! The DJ was 🔥 the music kept the energy high all night, and the transitions were smooth. If you're into dancing, this place delivers. The crowd was a nice mix, and the dance floor really came alive as the night went on. It's definitely one of the better spots in Leipzig for electronic and house beats. The club isn't massive, but it has character. Lighting and sound were on point you can tell they care about creating a good atmosphere. Only downside: the bar can be slow when it's packed, and it does get crowded fast. But if you're coming for the music and dancing, you’ll probably enjoy it as much as I did. Would go again especially for the DJ sets. Just come ready to dance.

Shortly after I entered, an employee came to me and forced me to take off my jacket and give it to the cloakroom. I have been to many clubs in Europe, but this was the first time I experienced something so ridiculous and rude. When I asked an English-speaking employee why they wanted this, he said it was a rule. From this perspective, they can make up rules for everything and call it a rule for those when someone asks why. I felt like I was robbed.

This place refused me entry simply because I am a Turkish citizen. First, they asked if I was alone, then after looking at my ID, they told me that I couldn’t enter because I was alone. If I were a citizen of another country, would I have been allowed in despite being alone? Even the security guard at the door, who was also a foreigner, displayed this discriminatory attitude. This place clearly has a bias.

This establishment enforces a code which prohibits single men entry. "Are you alone?,then No" It must be noted that it is only enforced against dark skinned people. The bouncers ..largely of Arab descent enforce this enthusiastically which is actually funny if you think about it. There is one German bouncer who is just plain racist. The wait time is very long ..2 hrs sometimes standing outside in the cold.The music is acceptable but never changes. If you are a person of color, seek other options.

This place treats their costumers really bad. We were a group of 15 and they didn’t let us in because of the pants of one of our friends. The bar was empty, the do not like to have people in. Bad service

Gave this club a try on its re-opening on a Thursday night. The queue at the entrance was pretty long and messy organized: add grids and have security not only watch the entrance. Inside it was pretty fine even if it was packed. The pricing here is a little bit off: while a cuba libre is sold at 6 EUR a single shot is sold at 3,00+ EUR in general and Jägermeister even 4,50 EUR - are you serious?!? 2 stars deduction as for queue handling and prices on shots.

Beautiful place. That's what drew us there. I went with my mom and partner. Only my food was decent (not great). For the price I was expecting something really good. I don't understand where the good reviews come from. The staff, even though they seem like nice people, are kind of clueless about what they are doing. I think it's a problem of logistic and organisations, definitely a managerial problem and not the fault of the waiters/cooks. You need a better system, perhaps digitalised. Our table numbers was confused several times and they didn't even know what we ordered. Our drinks arrived after half an hour and our food after one and a half hours. My mom and partner couldn't finish their food, the meat was not good and the rest flavourless. I ordered the salmon which was at least decent, but not good for that price. Will not go again or recommend to anyone.

I recommend visitors to be patient. Two beers, two coffees and a tea took 20 minutes to get to our table. The ashtray never came (had to get up and walk to the adjacent table to take it myself), and a children's portion of fish sticks with mashed potatoes arrived 1 hour after ordering in a tiny plastic plate. Don't come here unless you're ready to chase the staff and pay too much.

Beautiful Location with a very nice view!! We try the Sächsisches Würzfleisch and it was really really Tasty. Is a bit expensive. There is also a small place for the kids to play.

I love this place. It's location is amazing, the restaurant is cute and the drinks are good. Nice place to hang out with friends and family!

Quaint restaurant with cool laid back vibe on the water's edge. Short menu with big classics , including vegetarian options. Really friendly service and decent prices.

Love the restaurant enviroment, foods, services. Will come back again❤️

Nice little place by the canal. just a beer, cocktail or a whole meal is just more fun by the floor to ceiling windows.

Very large and often very busy beer hall, popular with students. We were thrown that smoking is accommodated here, so be warned. Service terribly slow, good range of drinks but just one guy serving behind the bar on a Friday night and some patrons are prone to pushing in.

The place is really nice. Unfortunately, however, we have to breathe cigarette smoke every time and our hair smells like smoke afterwards. As a non-smoker, I don't spend any more time there. From my view, it would be much appreciated if they implement a rule that smoking is only allowed outside.

The attention of the man at the checkout and the woman is horrible. They made my order wrong. I asked them to correct my order and they did not want to do it, a typical German response. It's the worst cheeseburger I've ever eaten, full of fat. Best of all, I will not return to this place. There are other great places in Leipzig to go instead of this.

Nice place, lots of students come here. Prices are cheap and there are some pool tables. A lot of people smoke inside, so take that into account

Lots of tables in the open space under the very high ceiling. Good to place for drinking. Can't say about the food, because have not ordered. In the menu: burgers, salad, balkan pie. Nice, that they have beliard.

Good food and beer, nice atmosphere with pool tables

The interior reminds of an old theatre - with chandeliers, wall murals, vintage posters and a bar where the stage is supposed to be. The very high ceilings allow for smoking inside, there are billard tables, it's self-service, rich choice of alcohol, especially if you're looking for craft beer, but there are no desserts. Be sure to make a reservation as it usually gets crowded in the evenings.

Excellent homemade fresh and tasty fruit drinks. Great ambiance and personnel. Haven’t tried the food (vegan) yet but seemed yummy !

I will say that if you are looking for a good place for wine, you are in the right place. It’s good, they have a lot of choice and they take the time to explain the wine. But don’t go for the pizza. We took a vegetarian pizza which was not good (definitely not homemade and not tasty) for 14€ ! It’s expensive for a pizza that cost 3-4€. A bit disappointing

One of my favorite Leipzig bars! Fantastic service, servers who really care, awesome vibe, great wine. FYI there’s no wine menu but they’ll recommend something based on your tastes. €8.25 per glass which is quite expensive, but you’re paying for the experience which in my opinion is worth it!

It was my first time to be in Leipzig and my first time at Renkli but I absolutely love it!! The staff was very welcoming and really showed their expertise. The wine and the atmosphere is amazing. I also tried the Tatar which was one of the best Tatars I ever had. I can highly recommend this place

We spent the most amazing evening in Renkli. The bar staff was very friendly and let us taste different wines before giving us both a glass of a wine we liked. The cheese platter was immense and tasty! We even got some chocolate from people at the table next to us because they couldn't finish it by themselves. The atmosphere is sweet, romantic, intimate, even when you sit at the bar.

One of the most interesting locations you can go to in the city. Very nice personal and a hip crowd. Small menu, everything is good. But you would not go there for a great dinner.

Don't know what happened to Renkli, it used to have the best wine selection, but last time I was extremely disappointed. Hope that gets sorted out soon!

Great tasting food. The beef in the Pho Bo was very tender. Summer rolls were tasty, too. Fantastic overall experience. I subtract one star because even though the price is appropriate, it’s not a bargain anymore. Also the ambiance is a little let’s just say „minimalistic“ and „down to earth“.

A decent spot for cocktails near city centre. All drinks that I have tried here are delicious. You can just tell the batender your preferences and he will make you a super nice personalized cocktail. In the pic is a Tiramisu Martini 💕

Had the vegan pho (soup) and the home made ice tea, which was absolutely delicious! I loved the music that was playing, and the ambiance in general. The waiter was very polite, too. Good place for groups as well as couples. Also fits for more formal gatherings, since the interior is rather upscale. This place has a bar, too, so it might be a good place to just have a drink (however I do not drink any alcohol so I don't know much about that). All in all it's a cozy place you should definitely stop by if you're in Reudnitz. Price range is average (~10€ for one dish + soft drink).

My partner and I come here all the time and get the drink called "Linda's Unschuld," it's like a creamy alcohol-free pina colada, super yummy! The baos are delicious, impossible to not get. Cao is really good at balancing authentic Vietnamese cuisine with modern western tastes and aesthetically presents all platters. The interior is chic and elegant with tasteful neon lights and contemporary accent furniture. Definitely a perfect place for large groups or a cozy date night. Cao is a hidden gem, not too far from the city centre and much-needed in Reudnitz. The staff are very professional and polite, multi-lingual, with great attention to detail. I recommend Cao to anyone who is visiting Leipzig or lives in the city.

Food was very delicious. There are toys for kids to play. We ordered apple juice for the little one, and it came in a teddy bear cup.

We love it. The starters are super tasty, extremly nice cocktails. We really enjoyed our evening!

Fantastic food and excellent drinks. You'll have to wait a little longer - but it's definitively worth your while.

Very cozy place with peaceful atmosphere, nice interior and interesting food. Perfect place to be on ur own or with company. Enjoy;)

Wonderful place, just what I look for in a bar. Lovely, but not super loud. A wide variety of drinking options, and very friendly staff. It can take a little time for you to get your drink during peak hours, though :)

The place is WOW! Very nice concept and very cozy! The atmosphere inside is amazing! Make a reservation to be sure you will get a table because it can be really crowded at some hours! - the neighborhood is really suspicious, be careful...

A really nice place to have a beer (or a drink) with same tasty food options.

Amazing espresso. Reasonably priced. Very friendly bartender. Interior is really one of a kind! Nice to sit outside in the summer and watch the street. Be sure to bring extra time to browse through the VERY WELL CURATED book selection - you will surely find something compelling.

A good place if you want to enjoy with your friends and hanging. Hear the staff is very nice and cool there are very polite in speaking.the please the music each and everything is very perfect you will find the perfect nurse in all the products and services which provide. Really it was a great pleasure to visit there and one of my friend took a memorable pic at that place that I became such a use use fan of place.this is really a very good place we recommend you all to visit there with your family with your friends easy place you can eat you can drink each and everything is too perfect all the best.

Cute coffee place in Leipzig. They also have some snacks and cocktails. People there are super friendly. Unfortunately some of the workers do not know how to make a proper italian coffee. Do not expect Barrista quality. The best about the place is really the place itself: It is beautiful. Unfortunately I almost stoped going there since the coffee isn't good which is kind of a shame. PS.:I would appreciate more vegan food choices like vegan sandwiches or Burgers 😀and much better trained workers (regarding the coffee) The food is mostly mediocre as well.

Great place! I loved the music selection of the tall blonde bartender. Pure genius

Cool place, you can smoke and don't have to stand in the cold, good music or disco on weekends

Not welcoming, though it appears pretty busy with locals. Neither cheap nor cheerful( with some surly service. Would not go again.

Thankfully the only bar i could find open after our CL game, turned out to be a good one. Good selection of beers at a reasonable price. Very friendly and made very good friends with two nice German guys. Worth a visit.

6 shots and 1 beer cost 36€ without tip. Most expensive bar I have ever seen ...

One of the most important places in Leipzig. Bar, cultural place and a lot of nice people. Definitely must see.

Nice place to be, live music from thursday to sunday, sometimes more events, it's a cool place to spend the nights

It was an okay experience. We were there to support a friend for a theater piece and that was fun. The food was mediocre and the beers were warm. The toilet was kind of disgusting, as it had no flush rather something like cat litter. There was some bottles outside to wash your hands so there's that. Service was also traditionally cold to indifferent

Really nice beer garden under neath lovely trees. Well priced beer on tap (just two types), €3.70 for a half litre and a selection on bottled beer. Small selection of pizzas and burgers. The only two downsides are: long queue for the beer; compost toilets (if you use toilet paper, you have to take in a little plastic bag to put it in).

Great location and drinks, nice food, nice atmosphere, just toilets are ugh (yeah ecological but come on just offer some comfort please)

I came yesterday for a pizza and a bear, and the place looked so cool, the pizza was great, I really liked the atmosphere and the staff, next time I’ll come with more friends 🥰

Most Amazing food

We kindly asked the staff and were able to do an autumnly team-checkout sitting around the fire sipping Glühwein. Now, how cool is that??? 🤗🤗🤗🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Ok alternative style BUT the service is bad... Sorry I was waiting in line to order because is self service but it was really taking long.....and it was not a time with many many people. I couldn't find a reason why is taking so long.... The prices are normal even though is self service and the staff not really friendly. I don't know if I will give it another time....

Amazing place (and dj sets, especially on the room downstairs), they even have food trucks on the outside. We came around midnight on a Friday night waited for 1h but it was definitely worth it. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Don’t forget to retrieve some cash before coming (mandatory for the entrance)

best club in town. impressive saturday raves. save for everyone, dance as you like, everyone‘s welcome here. LOVE IT!

Always had a great Time with friends and strangers. The door is polite and calm. Bar is always nice. Big probs to the Awarenessteam, luckily I never needed them seriously. I hope we see us soon at the new location.

In March of this year, I visited Distillery. It was my first time clubbing alone. I queued for about 40 minutes in a line for those with tickets because it was shorter than the no-ticket line, even though I didn't have a ticket myself. A bouncer asked to see my ID and ticket. I showed him my ID and explained that I hadn't bought a ticket yet. He was friendly and let me in anyway. The dance and music were very good. But, unfortunately I began to feel too much and unwell due to my own stupidity. I approached a young woman staff, and she took me to a small room where one or two guests who wasn't feeling well was also present. I was feeling quite unwell and started talking nonsense. The staff member calmed me down and talked with me. Other guests only stayed there for a few minutes and then left, but she was incredibly patient with me and assisted me for 3 hours! I feel bad for putting her through this because of my stubbornness. She had kindly suggested that I should go home, but I was stubborn about going back to the dance floor despite not feeling well. I'm grateful that she took care of me instead of kicking me out immediately. It was a big lesson for me, and I won't repeat the same mistake again. Many thanks to Distillery and the entire team. I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a good and safe techno club in Leipzig. The music, sound system, and awareness team are perfect! My only complaint would be about the cleanliness of the toilets, but I think it's quite average for a techno club in Germany

I would say one of the best techno clubs in Leipzig , great djs , long opening hours (party goes till 11 am almost every weekend ) and the community is great , the price is a bit expensive tho

Good party! But you need to wait long to go inside, also when it is not so full..

Very good club for genuine techno lovers. Love the Leipzig vibe which is unprententious and friendly.

Was there just once. Really crowded, the music was so loud that it hurt my ears. The people seem to be very young, like average age around 20. Many many pretty young girls all dressed up, so for guys good I guess ;-). But it was a "my boyfriend´s not in town" party with a strip-show. So maybe that´s why. But the music I didn´t like. Liked the smoking area upstairs. I am not going to come back but maybe its worth a try, so check out for yourself.

DON'T BOTHER. I followed the rules, presented all my documents, dressed well, followed the indications from the staff, and reserved with anticipation. After waiting in the line, the bouncers denied me the entrance just because I spoke English. This place doesn’t know how to treat good customers. If you are international, avoid it or better go to Berlin and party all the weekend. Spend your money smartly, it’s just one hour and 50€ for the train ticket. Disappointing that in 2021 this place has a small village mentality. All in all, I don’t recommend this place to the international student community.

First bar of the night after work. Went to L1 wearing shirt with collar, jeans and dress shoes. Door guy said he didn't like our pants and shoes...fair enough...but while asking dress code for next time, 6 young guys with Capri jeans and tennis shoes walked in without being asked questions. Turns out after questioning the bouncer did not like Americans (even though we're Canadian). Seen more pictures inside shirtless than clothed, so can't be dress code. Never been this appalled at the world.

The club's bouncer acted intimidating for no reason when I tried to get in. After that, he told me that my attire was too casual for the club. That day they played American rap and they expected me to wear a suit or something like that. The people who are allowed in must be real gangsters who can relate to American hip hop ...

Overly elitest as I was first refused and then offensively looked up-and-down before allowed in by the security- and looking around the club- it apparently wasn't because of the way I was dressed! I paid 8 Euros at the door but had to leave before the main act because I was not having a good time. On one night i went, It was at least 80% men, on another night, about 50/50, so maybe it's hit and miss. Yet I felt like I went to a club where I was definitely not 'part of the club'. The sound system is good and the lighting is decent, so I rate them "good" on Atmosphere. There is practically no decor to speak of, so I consider yet I consider them good as it is well kept and at a fairly good standard all around aesthetically. There is one large screen by the bar which shows the same image of New York City and some other city over and over, which is boring if not annoying- but you would not see it from most places. There is some cool laser-based lighting in the round interior space, which adds to the decor. The service, as mentioned, was less than welcoming, so I consider them "poor" on this count. I should add that I have been to this club on more than one occasion and there have been good acts- otherwise I'd give them "poor" on Atmosphere. It is centrally located which is a plus, but this club is known to be a particularly elitest club- which is not my thing. If you go, I'd suggest going very late when the main act comes on. Or- check out another club.

23-11-2018 The lady on the entrance told us you are not allowed. we went back. 24-11-2018 We purchase online ticket. It's mention on the site "the club is open for everybody" We reach there the lady is too bad & lier with a person together. 1-told us v r not allowed. 2-ticket price is 80euro 3-after showing them tickets with receipt they start to say you dress code is not ok 4-they didn't inform what is the dress code.just keep saying dress is not ok. "OUR DRESS IS MORE GOOD THEN THE PEOPLE THEY WEAR " A poor staff with very very bad attitude. V r coming here from other countries & they behave too bad. THEY HAVE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE SKIN COLOUR & THEIR COUNTRIES. THE CLUB MANAGMENT NEED TO MENTION THESE COUNTRIES ARE NOT ALLOWED. Soo we will not waste our time & money to come there. V paid for the tickets but they don't allow us without any reason It's not Good

Racist staff. They host latin parties and use our latin culture to promote the club, but won't allow latinos inside. Don't steal our culture and use it to sell if you're gonna be awfully xenophobic with latinos. 🤢🤮
