Noch Besser Leben

Leipzig


Despite the address, the entrance this locally beloved bar can be found on Plagwitz's main drag, Karl-Heine-Strasse, and is a great, if smoky, spot to join a cool local crowd drinking an impressive selection of beer. It has a communal, friendly atmosphere, for which only the German word gemütlich (approximately translated as cosy) will do.
