Small and charming, Theater Neumarkt’s Café-Bar has bags of character. A mellow space with faded plaster walls and vintage drink adverts, it has a loyal following of locals who pop in to chat or read the newspaper. Bag one of the few tables inside or perch by the bar all the better to admire the selection of drinks on offer; because this is a bar that looks like it means business with a dangerous array of grappa, schnapps and whisky.

By day, the coffee and hot chocolate flow, along with a few nibbles – a panini of the day, wicked, sticky schokoladen kuchen, cantuccini and home made chocolates. Especially nice in winter, the café provides a warm escape from the cold whilst you defrost over a glass of glüwein.

One too many and you might find yourself in the theatre enjoying one of their experimental productions or literary events. Several more and you actually might understand what’s going on.
