Kakadu Bar im Parkhotel Dresden

Of all the bars in Dresden, none came anywhere near matching the legendary reputation of the Kakadu Bar in the upmarket Weißer Hirsch district. For decades, people danced, partied, drank, made love, argued and made up here until the early hours of the morning.

This bar is more than just a classic dance bar. It is a place of worship – a legend of Dresden’s nightlife. The venue opened its doors at the Parkhotel Dresden over 50 years ago and, through all those eventful years, has become a mainstay for night owls and lovers of sophisticated entertainment. For many Dresdeners, the Kakadu Bar is a magical place full of memories; after all, there was enough material to dedicate the feature film *Der rote Kakadu* to it.

Walk down a flight of stairs – and you’ll find yourself in the best of company. The décor, in the style of the 1960s and 1970s, has been largely preserved and faithfully restored. The Kakadu Bar offers an atmosphere that is second to none and provides the perfect, truly special setting for extraordinary events. Here, you can still sense a certain air of debauchery and the mystique of this sophisticated, dimly lit venue.
