An independent bar and small event space between Cottbus's city center and the BTU university campus, drawing a student-heavy crowd from Tuesday to Saturday nights.
Die Unbelehr-Bar sits on Karl-Marx-Straße between central Cottbus and the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) campus, and functions as both a regular neighborhood bar and an occasional event and rental space. The location makes it a natural gathering point for students, and the atmosphere reflects that -- unpretentious, affordable, and casual, with simple furnishings and a straightforward drinks list of beer, spirits, and mixed drinks generally priced under €6 (~$6.48) per drink. The bar opens at 8 PM Tuesday through Saturday and is closed Sunday and Monday. Because the space doubles as an event venue, some nights host private parties or themed events rather than regular open-bar service, so checking the bar's Facebook page before a visit is worthwhile if a normal night out is the goal.
