The Ufer-Bar is located directly on the Rhine near the Pfaffendorf Bridge behind the Electoral Palace in Koblenz.
Please note:
Due to construction work on the Pfaffendorfer Bridge and the Electoral Palace, the Ufer-Bar is only accessible via Stresemannstraße at the corner of Konrad Adenauer Ufer.
Please follow the signposted detour from the Weindorf!
During the Koblenz Wine Festival, the Ufer-Bar offers all 11 festival wines from the Koblenz Wine Festival.
You will also find other select wines from the festival wineries.
In addition to a first-class selection of wines, the Ufer-Bar offers freshly tapped beer from the Hachenburger brewery, aperitifs, hot drinks and non-alcoholic refreshments.
"La Focacceria" is also serving a wide variety of freshly prepared focaccia. You can also order a pairing of wine and cheeses as well as crispy chips (french fries).
Ufer-Breakfast with Music:
Breakfast with a view and musical accompaniment.
On three select Sundays, the Ufer-Bar is partnering with Kulturamt Koblenz and invites you to "Ufer-Breakfast with Music". In the relaxed atmosphere of the palace steps, a small decadent breakfast with musical accompaniment from hand-picked regional artists awaits you.
Dates:

The Kulturstufen are returning as of June 25, 2025. We will provide information on artists as soon as possible.
Kulturstufen is a series of musical events in public spaces. During the summer months, the palace steps on the bank of the Rhine become a performance venue for regional musicians and music groups with various styles.
With this project, the City of Koblenz's Department of Culture and School Administration aims to culturally revitalize the palace steps, which were built for the 2011 Federal Horticultural Show, and thus enhance their public profile.
