Stuttgart's nightlife without the Schwarz Weiß Bar? Unimaginable. This establishment was already legendary long before its transformation into a cocktail bar in 2011. In its former incarnation as a cult pub under various names, it drew an endless stream of politicians and Stuttgart's elite. And now?

The cocktail bar needs no introduction when it comes to acclaim. The Schwarz Weiß Bar stands as the city's premier destination for elevated bar culture and an undisputed favorite among night owls. Intimate as a living room, yet exuding quiet exclusivity, the bar's true magic lies in its team—led by owner Knud Scheibelt, who champions professional bartending and refined cocktails while placing equal emphasis on genuine camaraderie. That palpable harmony among this beautifully eclectic crew is woven into the bar's entire concept, and it's the secret to their success. Music anchors everything here: a constant backdrop of relaxed jazz, swing, and blues sets the mood. Floor-to-ceiling black-and-white portraits of music legends frame the space, while the drink menu itself tells the story. Cocktails are organized by musical style and named accordingly—"Swinging Port," "In the Mood," "These Guys are Nuts"—each name a clue to the drink's character. The selection extends further with approximately 250 whiskies, rums, mezcals, and fruit brandies to explore.
