What makes Topsy special
Scene guides describe Topsy as a cosy, conversation-friendly bar with a friendly, rather mature crowd, quieter than a club and with loyal regulars. The large number of good Google reviews speaks for the atmosphere at the bar.
When to go
Topsy is a weekend-only bar: Thursday to Saturday it opens late and stays open until the early hours. That makes it one of Karlsruhe’s addresses for the last drink when other venues are already closing.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for a relaxed queer bar for late hours
- would rather get talking at the bar than dance
- are out late at the weekend
Not ideal if you …
- want to go out during the week
- are looking for a club with a dance floor
