After the success of the public viewing at the World Cup the city is planning to put a big screen on the Schlossplatz for the Ireland game. The square held around 70k for the WC matches ....

Sounds like a great place to party, are there many pubs / clubs there? can we drink on the streets? are there off licenses to buy a few cans if the pubs are overcrowded? what will it be like on the thurs / fri nights?

thanks in advance for the answers

We dont have off licenses like in the UK (or Ireland? Dunno the Irish law and I havenīt been for 10 years!). You can pretty much buy beer anywhere here. Newsagents, petrol stations, supermarkets etc. Drinking on the streets usually ainīt a problem .... dunno about Thursday and Friday nights and I donīt know how many will get here early, but Iīd expect people to drink in the bars then.

When Celtic played here, there were about 10-15k in that square and I guess the Saturday is gonna be similar.

The Schlossplatz is bang in the middle of town. If youīre struggling to find a place to drink there Iīll be surprised how you got here in first place. :)

Was there for the World Cup lads, huge square right in centre of City, full of small bars around it, drinking on streets (bottles included) was no problem during WC anyway you could take your drink where ever you wanted. Schlossplatz was scene of Stuttgart Fan Fest so drink wasn't allowed in (included soft drinks and water!!) but loads of beer, food & merchandise tents inside. Doubt there will be such a setup for our game in September. Coyote Ugly Bar just behind Schlossplatz is WELL worth a vist!!! ;)
