Fantastic views of Düsseldorf. The only bar worth visiting. We tried hotel Nikko, Intercontinental,…read moreHyatt ... Seriously Düsseldorf you don't know how to make a good bar in a top hotel.... They all felt like airport departure lounges But this Skylounge is the tops. And the prices are certainly not ridiculous... Good size helpings on the bar snacks. It's very quiet Sunday afternoons - crazy busy Friday and Saturday evenings and very pleasant Monday to Thursday for late evening drinks it proved.

I have been here a couple of times, and the bar seems to be quite empty on working days till 19:00,…read morebut pretty much overfilled on Fri and Sat evenings. So, you might want to make a reservation on those 2 nights. The view is indeed fantastic, so if you are looking for that - it is a great place to be. However, do note that the drinks are somewhat overpriced, e.g. a coffee costs 4.5€ which is clearly above Dusseldorf average in terms of price, but is nothing special in terms of quality. Overall: awesome design and lights, neat waiters, wonderful view, but drinks do not offer a good price-quality ratio. I have never eaten here.

That's it, this would be my favourite location if I would live in Düsseldorf. Definitely... Great…read moremusic (okay, that's very subjective, you have to like the Rock Music style). The waitress was nice and paying a lot of attention, you never had to wait too long for your drink. So, no matter if you like to drind your beer outside you inside, this Pub is a must visit. (specially for men, once beeing there you will understand what I mean ;-)) Check out webside, they appear to have geat parties.

Well, here we have another grunge bar that I visited in Dusseldorf, though unfortunately I had…read moreforgetten about it, that is until I discovered some photos of it. That is a shame because I actually like grunge bars since it takes me back to my days of heavy metal music. Mind you, many of these places don't do the classic rock, though the Van Halen insignia on the ceiling does indicate that this one does. However, as I mentioned, it didn't really stick in my mind, but that may have something to do with it being superceded by another that was just down the road, and also that it was getting to the end of the night as well and I was somewhat exhausted.

Pretty Standard pub fare. Not much in the way of authentic German or Irish food really. Just a…read morepub with decent food and decent prices. It's comfort food for travelers. It isn't anything special but the atmosphere is relaxing and it close enough to the convention center as to be very convenient for attendees. You can do worse in Essen. You can also do better.

Funny enough, I came to this Irish Pub for the burger. Hear me out before you start judging…read more I made friends with another US expat, and we started comparing notes about US American-style food in Essen. I made the mistake of comparing Tofino and Hans im Glück before he stopped me. His advice was to try Fritzpatrick's before I start trash talking all the Germans and their inability to make a burger. I'll admit when I'm wrong, and I was wrong. Fritzpatrick's food is good. I understand why so many people have recommended coming here, and I regret not going sooner. The food is good; not just good by pub standards, but it's actually good. My only gripe is the same one I have with most German restaurants: they dress the burger bun with ketchup rather than keeping it on the side. I hate and despise ketchup and felt like such a jerk for sending back my bacon cheeseburger. Sorry. The server was really nice about it. Thanks for dealing with this picky American.

Live music on the weekend, outside seating, great people and wine. Try it out!
