Mephisto Bar, Leipzig

Nestled within the charming Mädler Passage, the Mephisto Bar in Leipzig is a devilishly delightful spot that serves as the above-ground extension of the historic Auerbachs Keller. Established in 1989, it's the newest addition to the iconic establishment and offers a vibrant contrast with its striking red interior, perfectly in tune with its devilish theme. During the day, the bar lures in visitors with specialty coffees and freshly baked treats, making it an inviting destination for a relaxed afternoon.

As day turns to night, the Mephisto Bar morphs into a lively cocktail haven, known for its signature Mephisto Feuer and a wide selection of extravagant drinks that appeal to both tourists and business professionals. Its prime location under the sheltered Mädler Passage means the cozy outdoor seating remains welcoming in any weather-though the prices, like the decor, might be described as a bit on the devilish side. Reservations aren’t part of the experience, but for those seeking a taste of Leipzig’s most enchanting promenade with a caipirinha in hand, the Mephisto Bar is a tempting venture.
