I have also been very late (post-theater) on a Saturday evening and we never made it inside; we had to sit outside. The decor is subtle and classy. Le Lion is the cradle of the gin basil smash (I had never heard of it until I came here but it seems to be a Hamburg thing). You do pay a premium for the drink but it's the original and it's also a good drink. In conclusion: Come early to get inside for the full speakeasy experience. Come late and understand if you have to sit outside. Don't miss the gin basil smash; they invented it.

This may be attributed to the fact that this bar is in a hotel. The bar has a wonderful outside seating area which was full most days of my weekend visit. Great views of the shopping crowds on a busy, sunny Saturday. The bar also stays open late. I had the pistachio martini which was delicious!! Followed by a dirty martini. I also had the chicken Cesar salad which was just ok. Nothing special. I would definitely visit again. The renaissance hotel was a great place to stay and made me feel very welcome and like a VIP. I was offered a free drink at the Bricks Bar as a reward for my loyalty to Marriott Bonvoy program (titanium elite).

In the bar there are not many positions - around 10 meals/snacks and 10 cocktails. Good for hotel guests. I like interior moder design.

The last time I was in Hafen City was 2018, so returning to this new skyline was amazing. Service was excellent and friendly and all staff are proficient with English. In terms of the food, we ordered the Chef's omakase sushi. Overall it was good, not out of this world, but good. There's a lot of creativity with the sushi there.

The atmosphere was very romantic (we went when it was dark but getting there to see sunset and then having the restaurant be dark would be perfect) and gorgeous. The waitress was attentive and friendly. The food was EXCELLENT! We loved the chef's sushi and our entrees which were the waygu and chicken katsu - would highly recommend if you want to have a fancy dinner and celebrate something :) Auf deutsch ich werde nur sagen - SEHR LECKER! Und ein sehr schönes Restaurant.

Just like there's a moment of eye-pain when you open the blinds a sunny day, there's gonna be a moment of awkwardness when you walk through the door into the super romantic ambience. Just power through. Make joke about it if necessary. Just power through. It's a place designed to get you into a warm fuzzy haze of happiness. Didn't like the chairs though. They're big and bulky, there's too many of them, and I don't like to perform self-origami just to sit down.
