EBG Rating: 7.9/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Typical North German beer options but the back bar and alternatives are reasonably good.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stylish, moodily lit little side-street bar with classic fixtures and fittings, a round bar and backroom with billiards table.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Somewhere to take a partner, or read a book, or play pool, or get a late drink. Stylish but casual, versatile and friendly overall. Not a scuzzy venue, somewhere with a bit of class.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Snacks, pool, occasional events, smoking permitted, limited outdoor seating

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
Fairly typical prices for a bar of this sort in this location.

Description:
The lively Viertel and Steintor on the east side of Bremen city centre is its equivalent to Hamburg’s St Pauli, but on a smaller scale. This means that stylish, slightly more feminine leaning late bars like this one sit cheek by jowl with scuzzy smoking pubs and all else in between.

Wiener, amusing name aside adds a touch of élan while still remaining a casual local you could drop in to for 20 minutes or a few hours quite happily.

The atmosphere broods in the early evening but can really take off later on, and you’ll get plenty of opportunity to explore that, opening until early morning 6 nights a week.

Wiener also boasts a billiards room, in a space which almost feels a little formal, and that attracts groups.

Wiener’s main skill is an ability to draw together a diverse crowd, while recognising its core audience tends to be 21-35 young middle class white folk, that cohort do somewhat comprise the majority anyway.

It should definitely be a fixture on your tour of this quarter’s bars.
