Strasbourg Nightlife
The student population keeps Strasbourg's nightlife vibrant. Many of the regular hotspots are clustered around the cathedral and along rue des Juifs, however, it is worth considering other options - such as an evening tour on a bateau-mouche (pleasure boat) or the son et lumière (lights show) performances at the cathedral in the summer.
Bars stay open until at least 2330 and often until 0400. The legal age to purchase alcohol in France is 16. Dress code and admission requirements are not an issue in Strasbourg.

Another must is Les Frères Berthom, with attractive décor, friendly staff, a good variety of beer and excellent cocktails - small wonder it is so popular.
