The Cave: Karaoke Bar, Comedy and Grill

Burgers, steaks with BBQ ribs, plus whiskey and music evenings awaits you at the American bar - "The Cave" - on Nikolaistraße. The owners originally wanted to turn the spot into a jazz club, but later decided to offer a wider variety of entertainment. On Thursdays, there is comedy; and on every second Saturday, karaoke evenings take place - where you can eat popcorn. To tune up your voice, the in-house cocktails are definitely recommended.
