The 6 Best Bars in Nuremberg

Nuremberg's tourism board calls the city the epicenter of the German whisky scene, with organic single malt distilled in the Old Town. The best bars in Nuremberg mostly sit inside the old town walls. Bar Europa has stood for classic cocktails since 2004, with whole menu sections for Trader Vic and Don the Beachcomber recipes, an original 1934 Zombie and rotating Franconian beers. On the Weinmarkt, Die Blume von Hawaii is a tiki bar of bamboo and carved tikis with more than a hundred house creations and about 120 rums. Die Rote Bar keeps its room minimal and the craft precise, while Lange Kante 16 seats guests on both sides of a six-meter counter for highballs to soul and funk. North in St. Johannis, Gelbes Haus has poured cocktails since 1989, some built on local fruit brandies, while Herrengedeck on Schlotfegergasse is named for the German pairing of beer and a spirit. Book ahead: Die Blume von Hawaii takes reservations by phone only. These are the six we would start with.
