New openings in the Ruhr region
The pot in transition! Where old things go, new things often emerge. 💜
The kiosk from before? Simply gone. The pub where you used to sit with your friends until the early hours? Now an office. And yes, that hurts. A lot is changing and the club and cultural landscape definitely doesn't have it easy in the Pott. But one thing is also clear: the Pott is alive! A lot of new things are emerging. Restaurants, clubs, cafés and bars are opening up. Sometimes quiet, sometimes loud, but typical of the Pott, simply genuine. ✨
We've put together a list of new places that are opening up between Essen, Dortmund, Bochum & Co. Places to go, hang out and come back to. No hype, just honest recommendations. After all, everything started somewhere - including your next favorite place.
