One of a few after hours bars. Darts, Casino machines, awesome local regulars.
Eclectic, small but finite chance to play chess with any of a few unassuming but deadly [Russian, Baltic] chess players.
Friendly bartenders and even a couple of hard-core tenders, whom, with lucky timing, make those special introspective moments more meaningful, possibly suspenseful even (such rare, fringe psychoanalytic services aren't free, but blank stares still are).
Two sections can delineate the music, or can be blasted when there's a less populated (hence less authoritarian) dart section which has booth and chair tables.
The music is a surorisingly well stocked jukebox, so there's no theme, albeit when crowded, there's a good chance scores of euros were invested to push your tunes down the Playlist for the bulk if the evening.
Sports are moderated, sorted to the taste of the crowd, bartender mood notwithstanding.
It's truly been a fantastic hangout for the 1.5 years of my tenancy in Gablenberg.
Bus services right out front for hauptbanhof or downtown, and taxis come immediately from a few hundred meters down the road.
No food. Rarely pretzels, more commonly hamster feed is available.
Stuttgart has a local beer brewery called Sandwald, and if you thought Bavarians made the best hefe weißen, think again.
Stuttgart is even better thanks to the now 5 Max and Moritz bars. This one is the first established.
This bar puts the "fun" in dysfunctional toilets, but there's no music so you won't stay long.
Speaking of long stays, the adult toy vending machine is the highlight of hopeful clients.
Great bar, great people, programmable music, dart championships and amateurs, best hefe weißen in the EU, and a diversity of involuntary mood management based on the bartenders' often entertaining snappy response to snappy customers.
Police Station within 200m, so run first, so you don't have to fight later.
Lastly, Karaoke is insane, concentrated, once a week, highly popular to many while highly despised by a few, so you can find your center, but can probably only stand because if they're not singing, they're avid fans and the malcontents stay in the barroom.
