If you are looking for something to eat after the game try the good, simple pub-style food the Hövels Haus Brauerei. The house beer is also very good, and they have a small biergarten which is nice if the weather is good.

Barrock is the place to go before and after the games. It's only a 10 minute walk from the stadium and is one of the meeting points for Borussia Dortmund fans, so it's a good chance to mix. They also sell Brinkhofs, one of the best local beers.
Kreuzstraße 87 (on the corner of Lindermannstraße);

If you are looking for a drink at the weekend the Ostend (on the inside of Ostwall road) is the place to go. There are many good bars and clubs there.
Ostwall is located in the city centre, between Ostenhellweg and Olpestr
Dortmund has a rich nightlife and hundreds of cafes. The biggest concentration is around the main shopping area (Westenhellweg, Kleppingstrasse and Alter Markt).
The small Westpark is where the young and beautiful hang out on sunny afternoons, either playing footy, barbecuing or sitting in the biergarten.
Follow Lindemannstrasse all the way to the stadium, and I'm sure you'll stop off at one of the pubs and bars along the way. Find out about clubs and events in the free magazine 'coolibri', available in most cafes.
Westpark is next to Möllerbrücke at the northern end of Lindemannstrasse. A 15 min walk from town or take underground line U42 southbound towards Hombruch.
