Nordrhein-Westfalen Region Travel Guide

when looking for a nice italian icecream....go to Wolbeckerstrasse "Ice Cafe Grava"

Kevin's Pub is located in the centre of Weeze and consists of several buildings and types of accommodation. There is the Hay Hotel, campground and the Guesthouse, and I opted for the latter for myself and my daughters. I had pre-booked for the guesthouse and the email contact was pleasant and usually a response would be given within 24 hours. As my daughters are young (3 and 6) I was given a the room at the normal double price which was €55,- including a continental breakfast.

We were greeted on arrival by the owner of Kevin's Pub, Kevin Betts, who is originally from the UK but has lived in Germany for about half his life I would say. Tuesday, the day we arrived, is the one day in the week on which they are closed so the bar, beer garden and dinner were not available. I had not been informed of this prior to arrival but as the place is centrally located with other restaurants nearby this was not a problem for me. I did not intend to go out drinking anyway. The room was a basic ensuite (twin beds and a single with duvets, a wardrobe, small table and chairs and tv) and comfortable. Plenty of towels and some toiletries are provided. The room was situated in an building across the road from the actual pub. We slept well as it is located on a very quiet street.
Breakfast the next morning was a typical German continental one: (softly) boiled eggs, crusty breadrolls, a selection of mostly undefinable sliced meats, cheese and spreads like Nutella and jam. Orange juice and a choice of coffee or tea.

If you are into boating or cycling you can rent canoes or bikes here as well. The property backs onto the river Niers.

The property is located about 10 minutes walk from the train station and about 5 kilometers from Weeze Airport.

There are quite a few areas and places where you can party.
Altstadt is mainly for tourists. If you want to get drunk fast with fellow travellers you are most likely to meet them there. Peters Brauhaus provides good food and not so good beer, the Paeffgen Brauhaus vice versa.
Kwartier Lateng (Zulpicher Straße) is for students and young persons who want to drink and have a good time. Party and concerts also in the Prime Club/Luxor, the Blue Shell and the mtc.
Friesenviertel is for the more well-to-do people. Make sure to check out the Paeff (not to confuse with the Paeffgen!). Often there are quite good DJs at work.
Ehrenfeld is for students and more alternative folk. Lots of nice pubs, bars, clubs and more. The Underground, the Live Music Hall (rock, alternative), the Sensor Club (dance), the Art Theater (funk, Drum'n'Bass), the Sonic Ballroom (punk, indie) are must-sees when you are in Ehrenfeld.

Besides that there are a few cool clubs and classic bars. Schreckenskammer and Elektra in Altstadt-Nord, Gebäude 9 in Deutz, Westbahnhof, Tor 2 right next to the central station, Apropo in the Severinsviertel,.....
