It’s finally Friday afternoon!! After a long week where working and stress were the key protagonists of your days, it is about time to think for yourself! It’s time to find out where you can find the best spots for wine in Düsseldorf!

And what is better than a glass of wine and some comfy food to relax and start planning an exciting weekend? Well…. Nothing! And don’t feel guilty about extra calories…it is Friday! That’s what Mondays are made for… to start a new diet! (even if it has been proven that a glass of red wine has the same effects of one hour at the gym).

Now, you have only to think about whom you want to share this wonderful plan: maybe alone, with some friends or with your love. In any case, local expat and wine lover, Giulia, is going to suggest some places in Düsseldorf to make your after-work drink a little more special.

Here’s where you’ll find some of the best wine bars and wine in Düsseldorf

 

Bazzar

Where: Heinrich-Heine-Allee 53, 40213 Dusseldorf
Website: www.bazzar.de

This place is perfect for an after-work with friends! Bazzar is located in the city center, Altstadt, and it is open every day, all day long. This bar is quite famous for its brunch and fresh coffee, however, you can also find a small, but well-thought-of wine selection. Matching wine with good food is also crucial, that’s why I would recommend trying the option “Für Zwei”, where a gourmet cheese plate is served together with two cups of wine to be shared with a friend. Gossip has never been so pleasant!  

 

Bar Chérie

Where: Kurze Str. 2, 40213 Düsseldorf
Website: BAR Chérie on Facebook

Maybe your boy felt a bit neglected because of your busy schedule during the week. Is it true? Well then, there is no better place to be forgiven than at Bar Chérie. This authentic place is located in the heart of the city and it is well-known for its magic atmosphere and delicious Flammkuchen. The only thing to do is sit, relax, and raise a glass to the weekend!

 

The Alchemist

Where: Graf-Adolf-Str. 61, 40210 Dusseldorf
Website: www.alchemist-bistro.de

Not too far for Köningsalle, The Alchemist is the place to have a relaxing time for yourself. All you need to do is enter, sit at the bar, and trust the innkeeper’s advice. You can delight yourself with good wine, tasty drinks, and fine food. Mood lighting and jazz music will be the best mates of the night.

 

Of course, there are many other amazing places for an after work. If you want to suggest one, please write it in the comment box below. If you’d rather find a wine bar in Düsseldorf that suits your personality, I’ve come up with the ultimate test for that too! Or simply just head to your local grocery store and pick up a bottle of wine to enjoy while sitting along the Rhine River.

Please do not heavy drink: wine is to taste, not to waste!

Yours sincerely,

Giulia

OH! PS: If you’re a wine lover and you haven’t been to the Mosel Valley yet, you’re in for a treat!

👋 Hey, I’m Jenna!

The voice behind Life in Düsseldorf

I’m a German Canadian who moved to Düsseldorf over a decade ago, and like many of you, I had a million questions when I arrived. From trying to figure out how health insurance works in Germany to wondering where the best bakery is (spoiler: it’s Bülle 🍞), I’ve been through it all.

So I created Life in Düsseldorf to help make your transition smoother — whether you’re moving to Germany, already living here, or just curious about life abroad. My mission? To make you feel a little less overwhelmed and a lot more at home.

Your channel has been my salvation. I always felt like no one spoke English here and I never used to find any useful information in English, until I found you. It has always felt like you are a woman with the same story and the same problems that I have. Thank you for that! ♥️
