The Altstadt (Old Town) is the central go-out district here, with tons of pubs and restaurants for any budget and taste.
If we'd meet a little earlier, we could visit the Schlossturm, an old tower located directly at the Rhine and one of Düsseldorf's landmarks. They have a little museum in it about inland waterway transportation (
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schifff...m_(Düsseldorf)). That's about as naval as it gets here
The museum closes at 6pm, so if we want to visit it 5pm should be alrigh, it's not that big.
For later there are the traditional brewpubs here, mainly
Uerige and
Füchschen. Both also offer non-alcoholic drinks and traditional Rhineland food - if you are daring you can try warm blood sausage
In both facilities you can sit outside, depending on the number of people we may have to book a table in advance.
My favorite beer garden in D-town is
this one, located in Norther Düsseldorf, about 20 minutes by tram from the Old Town or Central Station. It is located directly at the Rhine with an awesome view, sitting right next to some cool
8th century castle ruins.
I'll write down some interesting places to visit in a reasonable distance around Düsseldorf (3,4 hours max) later, in case you want to skip the trip to the capital of the Reich. Gotta go now, my guests will arrive soon for the football evening.
