Zum Pleitegeier

This is a kind of institution in Erlangen. Plainly decorated, however young in mind. The courtyard becomes a beer garden in summer. Cheap salads, unconventional pizza and small to bigger plates with adequate drink prices make the Pleitegeier a popular meeting spot.

Student club in the basement. The owner of this place and the Kanapee bar is the same and they often have cross-promotions (e.g. drink a certain amount at Kanapee for free entrance to Zirkel). On Friday and Saturday nights there will often be a lot of high school students, but on Tuesday and Thursday nights university students tend to dominate the crowd.
