Bermudadreieck

Bermudadreieck is a bar and restaurant district in central Bochum encompassing more than 80 establishments across two square kilometers. The area sits between Südring and Konrad-Adenauer-Platz and caters to diverse dining and entertainment preferences.

The district grew significantly during the 1980s, boosted by its proximity to cultural venues such as Bochumer Schauspielhaus and Union-Kino theater. This expansion turned it into a major entertainment center for the city.

The name comes from the triangle shape formed by three main streets that define its boundaries. It serves as a gathering place where locals come to socialize and enjoy the nightlife throughout the year.

The district is most vibrant in the evenings and becomes crowded with visitors seeking dining and drinks. Arriving earlier in the day helps secure better seating, especially outdoors during spring and summer months.

On April 30th each year, the 'Stühle raus' celebration takes place when restaurants bring their seating out onto the streets. This custom marks an unofficial start to the warmer season for the entire district.
