**Friday evening** and you haven't planned anything yet? The **Leipzig nightlife** has everything to offer from pop, funk and hip-hop to hits and charts. A **colorful offer** makes up the mix and invites generations X - Y - Z to enjoy **dancing in Leipzig**.

The all-rounders

Are the **clubs too loud** for you or would you rather have a relaxed chat over a glass? Then the world of  lies at your feet in Leipzig. But it wouldn't be Leipzig if every bar didn't have a **clou** in store. This is where relaxed **sitting together** and **Leipzig party culture** meet.

The  is the **all-rounder** among Leipzig's clubs. During the day, the café invites you in with **a feast for the palate and** beautiful views of the market square and the **hustle and bustle** of Leipzig's city center. In the **evening**, however, the upper part of the building is transformed into a **bar with a cosy flair** and downstairs there is a spacious **cellar** that will tempt you to dance.

The **cultural center**  at the main campus of the  has a lot to offer. **Home-style cooking**, **student pub**, **concert venue** and **party location** - **all under one roof** or should we say under one **vault**? Just as famous artists come and go here, the **party people** no longer stop at the **MB**. What can we say, the MB is simply **bock.**

The  impresses with its rustic, **cozy atmosphere**. In the large hall you can**&amp;nbspplay billiards or table football**. From time to time, a DJ plays music so that you can tap your foot a little while enjoying **beer and potato wedges**. Doesn't exactly sound like a party, does it? But that's how your evening can start and then it's off **to the cellar next door**. There you can dance and party in a **unique location**.

In  you can start the evening with a **beer or a glass of wine** and a delicious **burger**. On Thursdays, it's **off to the dance floor** from 10 pm! Because the **student party** starts under the motto *Frisch, Fromm, Fröhlich, Frei*. If the student party times don't suit you, then drop by on the **weekend at Elsterartig** Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. there will be **Elsterertanz**. Your physical well-being is also catered for throughout the night. For example, the kitchen on the first floor will provide you with delicious **sweet potato fries**.

Exclusively different

If you're out and about in Leipzig city center and fancy some good vibes, then we have a tip for you: At  you can dance to the finest **hip-hop, dancehall and afrobeats on several **floors** under the motto weareallequal und bekind and turn night into day. The club at Petersstraße 39-41 has been open since 2022 and has long since become a hotspot - without VIP areas, everyone parties together! The atmosphere is open and inclusive. 

**Lipzig's night owls** can be found not far from the market square. With its numerous **bars** and **restaurants**,  offers the ideal breeding ground for a distinct **party night**. So it's all the better that the club  marks the beginning of Gottschedstraße. A very **diverse** club with a varied party offer. But it is best known for being the **biggest party** for **gays** and **lesbians** in Leipzig. **Every 2nd Friday of the month** you can celebrate the **KissKissBangBang party** with a mix of pop, trash and electro. An absolute must for all party animals - because the party is with **everyone!** Homophobia, sexism, racism, xenophobia and ageism have no place here! The **LGBT scene** feels more at home in Leipzig than in almost any other German city, not least because Leipzig repeatedly sets an example for **open-mindedness**.**

Made by students

It is well known that students like to party, so it is almost obvious that we also have clubs that are made by students. One of the most popular student clubs is the  in beautiful Gohlis. The "TV" does not refer to a television or anything similar, but stands for the **animal producers** and **veterinarians** whose faculties once made up this club. Every Thursday there is a big party here, while you can listen to ALL the music that has ever existed. Our tip: order a **BraWo** at the bar. The cult drink (red barrel soda with vodka) is not only popular, but also tastes unexpectedly good ;)

Another club is the Studentenkeller, also known as . This registered association is located directly underneath the student hall of residence at Nürnberger Str. 42. Everyone knows everyone here, so every Tuesday you can dance to selected classics and charts on two floors. Also popular: the regular beer pong tournaments. More student life is hardly possible!

Electronically against the current

**Basses as deep as the ocean** and **beats** so loud that they set the **beat** of your heart. If these words make you think of **parties**, then you will love the following two clubs.

If you are looking for a space where music, art and design come together, where people can meet and feel good, then  is your place to be. Embedded in the historically dynamic surroundings of a former Reichsbahn building and today's **Bürgerbahnhof Plagwitz**, the club invites you into its impressive premises with high ceilings, a **puristic dance floor** and huge bar. The interior does not resemble an ordinary techno club, but is enriched by works by various artists on the walls. Can't you imagine? You definitely have to experience it for yourself! 

Another tip in the west of Leipzig? Then head to  that you ll also find in the stronghold of Leipzig's alternative and creative scene. The rooms of the "Eli" have a **minimalist-industrial charm** and there are various floors and an outdoor area where you can party and relax. Unique in Leipzig: the DJ booth is located in the middle, where two DJs can play "face2face", while the dance platforms around it offer the audience the best view.

Bars and trendy areas

If you want to experience Leipzig's nightlife, you can't miss the two most famous trendy streets: the **Karl-Liebknecht-Straße**, affectionately known as **"Karli"** and the **Karl-Heine-Straße** in Plagwitz. 

Here, bars, pubs and small clubs are lined up side by side, and as soon as the sun goes down, the street cafés, sidewalks and lampposts fill with life. Between Irish pubs, cozy bars and chic cocktail lounges, people laugh, chat and play music - inside and out. 

Typical Leipzig: if you can't get a seat, simply make yourself comfortable with friends and drinks from the nearest **Späti** on the side of the road. This spontaneous **cornerning** is just as much a part of the culture here as the nightly babble of voices that hovers over the streets until the early hours of the morning.

After the concert is before the party

Leipzig has long been on the list of famous **bands** and **artists**. Every year, many top-class artists honor the **music city** and give Leipzig what it stands for. **Music is at home here, it can stay here**. For this reason, Leipzig has a lot of great **concert halls** and what better way to use these spaces than to let people dance on them?

The  at the southern end of  is committed to doing just that. **Concert venue** and **party location** on **one site**. With a bit of luck, you can also enjoy **partying** to the city's **favorite tracksafter** a rousing **concert**. **80s/90s fan**? The **Werk 2** is a regular fixture here and should definitely be your first port of call.

The  in Leipzig's **Plagwitz** district is no different. The combination of **concert hall**, **club room** and **outdoor area** is what makes this place so special. The **Täubchenthal** brings the **festivals** into the "house" and brings a festival feeling under your **soles.**

Open spaces for open-minded people

In addition to clubs and bars, Leipzig's **nightlife** also has a **cultural aspect** to offer. In old **hunting villas** and **backyards**, spaces have been created that magically attract **artists** and **creatives** and are always good for a **surprise**.
Hidden away in Leipzig's alternative and trendy Connewitz district, the  surprises with a colorful range of **art**, **culture** and **music experience**. Space is created here for **freethinkers** and **life artists**. In addition to **sound art** from a wide variety of musical genres, people can tinker with ideas, philosophize about life or simply enjoy the moment. The  is even more at home in a **small room** in the middle of a **backyard** decorated with lights. A really tiny space just outside the **gates of Reudnitz,** which serves up **concerts**, **impro theater** and occasionally electronic music. Live and let live is the motto here. You haven't partied this comfortably for a long time.
