An impressive entertainment complex, the Konzerthaus, hosts a variety of events, ranging from classic music to theater to pop concerts. In June and July, huge tents are raised to house the annual Zeltmusik festival, which emphasizes jazz but includes other musical styles as well. Summer also brings a series of chamber-music concerts to the Kaufhaus, in Münsterplatz, and a program of organ recitals to the Freiburg Cathedral. Information about all venues and events listed above, including program schedules and ticket sales, is available from Freiburg Information.
The city also has a thriving bar and club scene that goes on into the wee hours. Jazzhaus, Schnewlinstrasse 2 (tel. 0761/2923446; tram: 1, 4, 5, or 6), hosts pop, folk, blues, and jazz shows by international, regional, and local bands. The club is open Wednesday to Sunday 7pm until 1am, with a cover of 10€ to 29€ ($16-$46). Until 8pm, the Café Atlantik, Schwabentorring 7 (tel. 0761/33033; tram: 1), serves up spaghetti platters for 3.50€ to 7€ ($5.60-$11), but later on, it's mainly a bar, occasionally with a band. It's open Saturday to Thursday 11am to 2am, Friday 11am till 3am.
Hausbräuerei Feierling, Gerberau 46 (tel. 0761/243480; tram: 1 or 2), is a brewpub, with a beer garden across the street. It's open daily 11am to midnight.
