Sabu

Über diesen Ort Sabu

Sabu occupies one of the most geographically unusual positions of any gay bar in Germany: directly on the Frauentormauer, the road that runs along the inside of Nuremberg's medieval city wall. The bar is physically adjacent to one of the fortifications of a 14th-century fortified city. This setting — a gay bar in the shadow of medieval walls, in one of Germany's most historically intact Altstädte — captures something essential about contemporary Nuremberg: the city's history is so dense that modernity and the medieval coexist without friction. Sabu itself is a small, friendly bar rather than a destination nightclub — a place where Nuremberg's gay men gather for an evening that doesn't require the energy of a club night. The Frauentormauer location puts it within easy walking distance of Mardi Gras and the Altstadt generally, making it a natural second bar in an evening circuit. The bar attracts a loyal regular clientele and is friendly to visitors who present themselves accordingly.
