5 Best Bars in Luxembourg

Echternach isn't a town with a thriving nightlife, but this raggedy café-bar overlooking the basilica is a cheerful spot for an evening. Board games, good music, and a giant, sci-fi-looking fountain centerpiece that the owner claims "cost as much as a car" makes for a fun night.  

This decades-old bar was lovingly raised from the ashes after it was sadly left vacant. A leafy terrace, a brasserie that dishes up giant burgers, and a decent selection of beers on tap make this a go-to drinking hole once again. 

The building of the oldest café-bar in the city dates back to the 14th century. It is a work of art, with stone arches framing the exterior. Inside, you’re as likely to find besuited twentysomething city types belting out Oasis songs, dancing on the spot to '90s dance music, or a live salsa band. It’s a real pick 'n' mix.

The decor and snacks in this stylish city center bar are both Japanese inspired. Inside, it's fleshed out in colorful floral blinds and foliage, though the cooler kids stick to the terrace outside. 

Lying in the maw of the lively rue du Marché-aux-Herbes bar street, this enduringly cool spot has always been a step ahead of its noisier, more louche competitors. A long bar, good cocktails, and a busy terrace in the warmer months ensure its popularity among the international-set regulars.
