Strasbourg · Nightlife

Alsatian taverns serving regional food and local wine: cosier, cheaper and earlier-closing than a French bistro.

Bars along the Ill east of the centre, with terraces right on the water through the summer.

The student quarter south-east of the island, and the cheapest late drinking in the city.

Markets across Place Broglie, Place Kléber, the cathedral square and Petite France, running from late November to 24 December.

Alsace is France's brewing region, and the halls near the station pour it by the litre without irony.
