Tips for Your Evening Out in Mainz

• Choose your day: During the week most bars are quieter. At the weekend, expect more of a buzz.
• Combine several bars: Several of the places mentioned are in the city centre area. That way you can get around on foot without planning long distances.
• Make the most of the wine town: Mainz lies in Rheinhessen. If you like, try regional wines as well as cocktails. Ask at the bar for the current menu.
• Plan your journey home: Find out about the last bus and tram connections beforehand, or plan on taking a taxi.

Which Bar Suits Which Occasion?

Bars differ in style, music and clientele. For a quiet conversation, it is worth looking at the venue's website or photos; for a larger group, space and the option to reserve matter more. It is best to ask the venue directly what to expect.
