Kanapee
For decades, the infamous Kanapee has been a pillar of Bayreuth's nightlife — mostly because it's inexpensive and open late. You might go there on purpose if you're looking for a place that plays Rock and Metal. More likely though, some locals you just met will try to drag you there early in the morning when everything else is closed and you still haven't had enough. Go with them.

Eule
Traditional Franconian cuisine with a modern touch. The Eule has a rich history: it was Richard Wagner's favourite pub, and hundreds of artists followed his lead over the years, as evidenced by photo-covered walls.
