Bars & Clubs
Passau · 5 entries
Passau's nightlife is compact but surprisingly lively. The three-river city benefits from a large student population at the University of Passau, which brings fresh energy to the pubs and bars of the old town. Most venues cluster around the pedestrian zone and the narrow lanes between the Danube and the Inn. Prices are moderate by Bavarian standards.
Culture & Live
Scharfrichterhaus in Milchgasse is known far beyond Passau as a cabaret and performing arts stage — a cultural flagship of the city for over 38 years. Rock fans will find a down-to-earth pub atmosphere at Zeche 14 on Loewengrube, complete with Currywurst and loud music.
Pubs & Specials
Braves Maedchen on Hoellgasse pairs grill cuisine with a terrace overlooking the Danube. At Shamrock Passau on Rosstraenke, the full Irish pub program has been running for over 30 years. And anyone looking for a game night will be well served at Wahnsinn on Loewengrube, which stocks over 100 board games.
