The 10 Best Bars in Stuttgart

Updated November 2026

Stuttgart's bars hide behind unmarked doors, from the Hospitalviertel to the Leonhardsviertel and down to Marienplatz. The best bars in Stuttgart start at Jigger & Spoon, the first bar in Stuttgart to take up the speakeasy idea, set in a disused bank vault between Berliner Platz and Rotebühlplatz, where guests ring a doorbell to get in and can order a bartender's choice. In the Leonhardsviertel, Holzmaler Bar pours drinks where the wood painter Johannes Mack worked in the 1920s, and sells its own gin, vodka and Korn. On Wilhelmstraße, Schwarz Weiß Bar has mixed its own creations since 2011 and is the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's partner bar for Baden-Württemberg, while Paul & George, on Weberstraße, greets guests with brick walls and a large counter. BAR, opened in Stuttgart-West in 1997, keeps more than 150 single malts and over 60 rums. On Marienplatz, Brother Louis works wine into its cocktails, from Lemberger to a whiskey sour with Riesling. Schwarz Weiß Bar reserves seats only up to 7pm. These are the ten we would start with.
