New openings in the Ruhr region

Bochum: The underground is (somehow) back! And it's more of a comeback than a classic reopening - and yet nobody really expected it: Untergrund Bochum is back. Not as a club like it used to be, but as an event location with a focus on electronic formats and more. 🪩 After closing in February 2025, it was over for a while - now it's back. In a new form, with a new partner and fresh ideas. Not a nostalgia act, not a revival - a new chapter, as the team itself emphasizes. And yet: two real classics remain. The 2-hour format "Jubel, Trubel, Heiterkeit" and the legendary Disney party "We're All in this together" remain an integral part of the program. 🎉 This means that anyone who liked the old vibe will feel right at home here - but will also be surprised at what can happen when you rethink club history.

Dortmund: From club to cultural venue - SNRS at Möllerbrücke. Where the legendary Silent Sinners used to set the pace for 17 years, something has changed: the building site has become a space for more. The club on Möllerbrücke in the Kreuzviertel district is now called SNRS - and the name says it all: Social, No Discrimination, Respect & Space. The four new operators come from the event industry and have not only refreshed, but also rethought. Thanks to crowdfunding, the venue has been technically modernized - and is now more than just a nightclub. During the week there are readings, stand-up and creative courses - and of course the party continues at the weekend. SNRS has become a living room for the cultural scene - just at the right time, when many old places in the Pott have disappeared. A real statement for diversity, attitude and club culture with heart.

New in Essen and already a favorite place: Kovée - the wine bar in the middle of Rüttenscheid, where good taste is at home. Not only does it serve selected wines, but also really exciting fusion cuisine - Korean meets European in the most casual way. ✨ The atmosphere? Relaxed, aesthetic and beautiful. No reservations, no frills - just come in, enjoy and let yourself drift. Whether it's date night, friends night or a solo drink - Kovée is the perfect place to spend the evening in style (and deliciously). Cheers! 🥂

Freshly opened in May, Kami brings Vietnamese cuisine with a modern twist to the center of Dortmund. The restaurant scores with fresh ingredients, traditional spices and a complete absence of glutamate. The menu offers creative curries, bowls and sushi - top-notch in terms of taste and appearance. The stylish, detailed ambience and the expertise of the sushi masters make Kami a recommended address for anyone who wants to rediscover Asian cuisine.

"Geschüttelt & gerührt" - the boutique for cocktail dreams in Essen 🍸 Whether rum, whisky or non-alcoholic creations - in Andrea Kaliga's new boutique, the art of mixing becomes an experience. She has been living her passion for cocktails since 2002, starting with a mobile bar and later with her own cocktail bar in Lüdinghausen. Now she is bringing her expertise to Essen: with workshops, tastings and courses for anyone who wants to learn how to mix or simply enjoy. With or without alcohol - here you'll find the perfect drink and plenty of know-how to go with it. Cheers! 🥂
