Stuttgart Bar Guide
30+ bars across Stuttgart's drinking neighbourhoods, curated by editors who know the city.
Stuttgart drinks Trollinger viertele — quarter-litre glasses of the local Württemberg red wine, served in heritage Weinstube taverns that have poured the same drinks for two centuries. Around the wine tradition, Stuttgart built a polished cocktail wave around Königstrasse. Jigger & Spoon has held a Germany 50 Best position multiple years.
Five neighbourhoods cluster the action. The Bohnenviertel (bean district) is the heritage Weinstube spine. West runs the polished restaurant-bar layer. Mitte holds the cocktail-and-shopping spine. Süd is the residential boutique-bar district. Bad Cannstatt across the Neckar covers the local-feel bars.
Trollinger viertele run €3 to €5. Cocktails €11 to €15. Tipping is rounding up. Most bars run to 1am, weekend bars to 3am. Reserve Jigger & Spoon on weekends.
