When walking around Erlangen one evening, I found Ciro and having noted it from seeing it on my…read moreYelp phone app earlier decided to give them a try. From the outside looking in that night, I could see it it was an inviting and appealing place so I had a feeling my instincts would be right on this one.
Walking in, I would designate this place more as a lounge/cocktail bar than a pure cafe, but it has definite characteristics of all of those things. Deep red and wood tones, a black piano and other curiosities decorating the cafe, I like the look. Ciro also has various places to relax in that they have a corner "comfy area" or the bar or the tables in the back corner. All in all, a very chill place to enjoy a drink or something light to eat.
The staff and owner were very pleasant and engaged in conversation while making sure I was taken care of, a great plus in this type of atmosphere. Ciro has quite an extensive menu of mixed drinks, cocktails, liquors, beers, etc. to choose from, so many choices! It has a small book of drinks and libation selections, and there is something for everyone to enjoy at Ciro. I settled on a whiskey sour (very good) and then had a beer with my sandwich I ordered. The sandwich was HUGE and very satisfying, thumbs up. I relaxed after my meal and enjoyed the cafe atmosphere while finishing my drink.
Bottom line: Very relaxing and pleasing lounge/cafe/bar atmosphere in Erlangen. Great to get a drink and chill out for a while or get a small bite to eat. Extensive drink menu selection and very positive staff interactions. I like this place, and recommend trying them out if in Erlangen.
