The Altstadt is a landscape of pubs, dance clubs, ancient brewery houses, and jazz clubs in the vicinity of the Marktplatz and along cobblestone streets named Bolker, Kurze, Flinger, and Mühlen. These places may be crowded, but some are very atmospheric. The local favorite for nightlife is the Hafen neighborhood. Its restaurants and bars cater to the youngish professionals who work and party there.

Belly up to the wood bar of this pint-sized Altstadt institution and ask for an ice-cold shot of Dusseldorf’s famous ruby-red liqueur, Killepitsch. Or do as the locals do and order one through the tiny bar window, then sip it al fresco standing around the high outdoor tables.
Located 168 meters (551 feet) above the city in the Rheinturm, Düsseldorf’s needle-shaped telecommunications tower, this snazzy bar offers excellent cocktails along with stunning panoramic views.
If you tire of the typical Altbier served at most of the city's breweries and taverns, this craft beer bar serves the latest concoctions from German microbreweries across the country, inspired by distinctly non-German styles, including IPAs and even sours.
