Things to do in Leipzig, Saxony: The Best Nightlife
It’s always hard to fill the shoes of someone who used to do your job very well. If you’re the choirmaster at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, guess whose shoes you have to fill? Bach’s. (No pressure.) Leipzig is closely connected to classical music—Wagner was born here, and Mendelssohn established a conservatory here in 1843. If you’re more of a melancholy, contemporary type, visit during the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, billed as the world’s largest "dark" (Goth, industrial, punk, etc.) music festival.

Auerbachs Keller (Auerbach's Cellar) is a famous restaurant located in the lower level of Mädlerpassage at Marktplatz. In Goethe’s play Faust, Dr. Faust met Mephistopheles in this restaurant, and this play propelled the restaurant to worldwide fame. When we visited Leipzig multiple times in the past, we used to spend most of our time visiting music related sites and having excursions to Dresden and Weimar. Only when we had spare time we used to go to Mädlerpassage to look at the sculptures of “Faust with Mephistopheles” & “Student Bewitched by Devil”. We also peaked into Auerbachs Keller without actually going inside. But this time, we decided to have dinner at this restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised at the huge size of the dining area. We were also intrigued by its decors, including wall paintings with devils & a devil figure sitting atop a beer/wine barrel at the corner. The food servers were efficient, and the diverse menu items were reasonably priced. We ordered Meatloaf and Viennse Schnitzel dishes with drinks. The tasty dishes came to us quickly, and the portions were very generous. When we came into the restaurant at 6.30 pm, we saw some empty tables. But soon, the empty tables were filled with groups of diners who appeared to be conference attendees and group tourists. The restaurant’s atmosphere was lively and vibrant. We had a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience at this restaurant. Auerbachs Keller is highly recommended.
4. Haus Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 57 reviews
Due to construction works the Arabian Coffee Tree Museum is temporarily closed. Germany’s oldest cafe is located in the heart of Leipzig’s historic city centre. Since 1711, coffee, the Saxons’ favourite drink, has been served here. The house takes its name “THE ARABIC COFFEE TREE” from the extraordinary building emblem on its facade. In the historic rooms of the cafe on the ground floor, the visitor can see where many famous guests once sat - and can imagine them being there. The Cafe Francais, the Viennese cafe and an Arabic coffee shop will get you into the right mood for your visit to the museum on the upper floors. More than 500 exhibits convey an impression of the outstanding highlights and characteristic peculiarities of Saxon coffee culture.
