Zentralbar
At the Markplatz but quite a bit hidden in a backstreet you might discover the Centralbar. With modern interior and laid-back atmosphere, this spot is known for its cocktails, that are quite reasonable during happy hours. The Centralbar is the ideal place to meet friends for a relaxed evening. Anyways – you may also want to use the happy hours prior to a good party later on.

Domizil
“Canned beer turns you into a genius”… Here you still get canned icecold 0,5 L pilsener. The Domizil is an absolute “insiders’ tip”. No location in Giessen has its doors open this long and is situated so closely to the legendary “Dönerdreieck (doner kebap triangle). Here you can fade away a long night feasted away until dawn. This rather rustic pub organises different live music events throughout the whole month. Otherwise you may pass time while playing with friends at the football table and enjoying a few cold canned beers. However, the Domizil is a bit hard to find.
