Lets be honest here, the real reason this place is consistently getting 5 stars is not the fact it's a really nice beach right in the city, or that drinking any type of cocktail tastes that much better barefoot; it's really because this is Germany and nobody gives a crap if you sunbathe in the nude. It just so happens that this bar is located on a beautiful secluded part of the river, and there's no better place to take your clothes off and have a mojito than on a beach. Ladies: this is not a place to feel bashful, but you'd certainly need to feel comfortable topless in front of a bunch of grandpas who stumble over from their moldy boats in the marina next door. Beyond that its a damn fine place to get a tan like i did! Fellas: this isnt the place to pick up chicks, seriously, dont push your luck otherwise you might find your face in the sand like some obnoxious Brit i saw. Just kick your feet up with a beer and quietly enjoy the view (environmental and human). read more

28 Grad is an awesome beach club - the best in Hamburg. Seriously, if the weather is good in Hamburg, it's worth jumping on the S1 train to Wedel. Once you arrive there, you still have a 10 minute walk down to the beach. The other way to get here - my preferred way - is to cycle alongside the Elbe. Close to Wedel you're forced inland to make your way around some huge ugly industrial complex, but don't be dissuaded - you can't see anything of it from the beach. Once you finally arrive you'll find a lovely little beach club that's situated at one end of one of the nicest beaches in Hamburg. If the tide is in, the beach can be a little narrow, but the bay is very shallow, which makes it great for children for paddling and swimming. Also, if the tide is out the beach quickly becomes rather large, flat and perfect for a game of beach cricket or football. As with all beach clubs the prices are somewhat inflated and you should expect to pay a EUR1 deposit on any glass or bottle. This is the best beach bar in Hamburg though :) read more

Laid back beach club at Elbe River While all the wannabees are mingling at the beach clubs in Hamburg's city center the cool kids play at 28 Grad. In contrary to the club midtown 28 Grad is right at the beach away from everything. The club faces Elbe River with no ship or boat to be missed after 12pm. Guests have the choice between lounge seating, bar tables, and folding chairs on the three different levels. The bar is fully equipped and if you are hungry you can choose between cake, pizza and a changing BBQ menu. Just be cautious when sitting at the beach. Besides low and high tide most ships and boats are causing temporary floods. + scenic location + away from the crowds in Hamburg's city center + lounge seating, bar tables, folding chairs Daily from 12pm if weather allows... read more

Well let's just say I was blown away to find this place in Wedel GErmany a short drive/walk from my hotel. It's like a beach club at the ocean but it's on the Elbe River. Great drinks, tons of seating and the food looked great. Next time I'm in Wedel I'm bringing my suit. read more
