Dive bar meets cocktail culture.
This is it, the insider's tip, the little hidden bar one is hoping to find when visiting a city... Speaking of Freiburg the name of this place is Erika.
When moving from Vienna to the lovely yet small city of Freiburg, the first thing I needed to find was a cool place to become my new friendly neighbourhood bar in town.
Since Freiburg is a student town and I am not very fond of these typical student hangout bars, this was not quite easy but eventually I found this small dive bar a little bit off the crowded city center, easy to miss when one doesn't know where to look for it. But once I found my way in, I knew I had come to the right place.
This bar is full of atmosphere due to good music, friendly bartenders and a very obvious love for details which one finds not only in the decoration but also in their excellent cocktails!
The Bartender Kadda is a gold mine of information about all kinds of spirits and knows how to mix them right to come up with a fancy, tasty cocktail - either classic ones or custom made ;-)
I also very appreciate the fact that they offer a small selection of craft beers - this alone was reason enough for me to make Erika my favorite bar in Freiburg! read more
