From the owner: Seit nun mehr 45 Jahren gibt es den Studentenclub Bärenzwinger in Dresden…read more Generationen von Studenten und Jugendlichen sind hindurchgegangen, haben getanzt und gelauscht, gefeiert und getrauert, getrunken und diskutiert sowie gelacht und geweint. Vieles hat sich im Laufe der Zeit getan. Strukturelle Veränderungen blieben nicht aus. Aus dem einstigen FDJ-Studentenclub ist einer der ältesten und schönsten Studentenclubs Dresdens geworden. Räume wurden neu erschlossen und mussten wieder abgegeben werden - 2006 wurde im Hof ein Schallschutzschirm installiert, um nun die schönste überdachte Open Air Location Dresdens zu sein. Die Schäden der Hochwasser 2002 und 2013 konnten dank zahlreicher Helfer und Spender behoben und schnell konnte der normale Betrieb wieder aufgenommen werden. Immer waren und sind es die Mitglieder des Studentenclub Bärenzwingers, die Veranstaltungen planen und durchführen und so das einzigartige Flair des Hauses prägen.

Spent Halloween here as it was one of the few parties in town (and it being the more affordable…read moreone). They took some effort with the decoration but the club got so packed that you couldn't really enjoy it. Packed, super hot (it is located underground with two dancefloors) and loud (the bass ringing in your ears painfully at times), it sometimes took ages to get to the bathroom or a drink. Music-wise, young people seemed to enjoy it, our group (early 30s) thought it was so-so with the DJs clearly overcompensating for something changing songs every 20 seconds ;-) Might give it another try some time.

Cool place, nice property, service was friendly and the prices were good. The food - to be…read morespecific, the sausages and currywurst - weren't high-quality, but I didn't think them overpriced. As a first time traveler to Germany, I found it to be an inviting space and was really fun at night when it was lit-up.

Tried all the beer on tap- they were all great and priced well. The bartender was very friendly and so were the other patrons. Bartender told us about some live music planned for the next night, so we came back. It was much busier this time but lucked out with some seats at the bar. Loved the music. Would definitely come back here again.

The music was fantastic...a trio of local university students that have played together for a few years. The bar staff was very friendly and the drinks well made and priced right.

As noted, drinks are unbelievably cheap, and for fans of Eastern German klars and kräuters, the selection is unparalleled. Go and play ping pong over 2 Euro shots of Rostocker Doppelkorn.

We've been to Rosi's in a large group on a Thursday. Theme of the night: Rockabilly. Interestingly…read moremany guests take this serious and came quiet nicely dressed up; also the bar staff fittet the theme well. Overall a nice place and good mood, music was more-or-less-rockabilly then, always accompanied by the matching 60s to 90s videos on screen :D Nice central large bar. I wasn't so amused when I found out they charge more than what is shown in the drink list. Mentioning "hey, this drink is 4,90 in the list" was answered with a sulky "and it's 5,10 on the cash register". I doubt that this was part of the "Rock" theme and thus considered it to be "not my service level" then :-/ Kicker tables etc. are available, and so are (a bit more silent) separees, so overall: yeah, you can go there. Just I probably wouldn't go a second time...
