Cinémathèque

The vintage Cinémathèque cinema holds an impressive collection of over 10,000 international films, screened in their original language with English subtitles nearly daily, and at bargain ticket prices. It's a fascinating experience for all lovers of the art. In the summer, outdoor film viewings are held in the courtyard of Théâtre des Capucins.

Les Rives de Clausen District

Rather tranquil by day, the Clausen district not far from central Luxembourg City really comes alive at night, when bars and clubs dotting the area start drawing in customers. Most establishments are housed inside refurbished historic warehouses, forging a distinct atmosphere. Take your pick from the assortment — some, such as Um Plateau, feature heated terraces.

Café des Artistes

Away from the luster of polished upper city bars, Café des Artistes is a nook of warmth and authenticity tucked away in the Grund. Every night is either 'open piano', where anyone is welcome to hit the keys, or one led by an appointed piano player and singer, with a choir of bar-goers joining in a sing-along most of the time.

Restaurant Bar Brauerei

The historic brewery still retains artefacts and pieces of equipment used in the days forgone — albeit now more for their decorative value. Beer is still brewed here just like in the olden days, its three varieties served with an accompaniment of specialities from southern Germany. Festivities are set up to mark certain holidays, most notably the Oktoberfest.

Vinoteca

Run by one of the country's best sommeliers, Vinoteca is a refined wine bar and tasting room featuring wines from the Moselle Valley. The cavernous inside space for colder days and a panoramic outdoor terrace complement each other well. Cheese and charcuterie platters are served in accompaniment to wines.

Urban Bar & Restaurant

Despite the sleek ambience, Urban Bar attracts an approachable international crowd and is one of Luxembourg City's after-work drink fixtures. There is plenty to choose from in the drinks department, including a wide selection of quality spirits, and the bottom-floor cocktail bar is a find for mixed drink aficionados.

Scott's

This lively Irish pub split across two levels is a summertime staple, primarily for its outdoor terrace overlooking the river (seating here is limited, so arrive early). Inside, oldie hits and sporting event broadcasts draw in a mixed, jolly crowd that fills up the dance floor on Friday and Saturday nights.

Rockhal

Located in the former industrial site of Belval, Rockhal is currently Luxembourg's premiere event venue, with a capacity to host up to 6,500 guests. Tickets purchased for any of the events held at Rockhal also include free public transportation to and from Rockhal across all of Luxembourg. Major international acts perform regularly — check the website for schedules.
