The first time I went to Germany I stumbled on the Schanze by accident. The next time the intent was to hit the Schanze and I ended up at here. You can start off with drinks upstairs as the bartenders do a great job working their way around the bar. After drinks and lounging upstairs it's then time to go downstairs after I think 11pm. Be prepared that it is pretty hot down there if you have on multiple layers as I did. No matter nothing more drinks can't fix and an escape to the bathroom to peel off a couple of layers. The music was a great mix of old and new. Great !! read more

It's Saturday night, the place is packed to the limit and the bar staff is doing an amazing job! Sitting at the bar watching them proves they are fast, in a good mood (occasional staff shots) and are making good drinks! Compliments, best team in the area I have seen so far (and I live across the road)! Music, atmosphere etc flawless. Great place to kick off after pre drinks or dinner! PS: and if the bar had known, a shared round of staff shots was offered to me and my friends shortly after posting my review! Glad I had nothing bad to say! read more

Goldfischglas - Bars Near Me - Hamburg, HH

Classic Schanze! I can honestly say that anyone and everyone from Hamburg has been here at LEAST once. Literally, at least "ONCE," I repeat that. Even visitors have made their way to this bar and the allure is that well, you see it first when walking around the infamous streets of Schanzenviertel. The typical routes are three main roads of either Schanzenstrasse, Susannenstrasse, or Schulterblatt. I think Goldfischglas is again popular because it has a club/loungy feel and serves a good full bar at reasonable prices. There are plenty of places to sit, a dance floor downstairs, and a football/kicker table for a male testosterone match or teaming up on a date couple vs. couple or girls vs. boys :) I like this bar because the music is loud enough to listen to, but quiet enough where you can actually talk to people and socialize if you really want to. They used to have this cool table in the center that had a neon glow with these fish shadows that swam around and they added just enough water on top to get your finger wet if you dipped it in to touch the screen. People always played with it, because we thought you could control the direction the fish shadows would swim by touching the plexiglas screen, but i am not sure if that really worked or just mere coincidence, haha... People here dress a a bit more trendy than other bars in Schanzenviertel. I feel this is where the preppy/casual crowd hangs out. Overall, it is actually a good mixture of all different types and that is what I like, because there is always a different crowd every time I come here. Sometimes older, sometimes younger, some in hooded sweatshirts and some in polos with Hamburg style red pants, and sometimes just all of the above. It is also open late, so another reason for the popularity of the late night crowd. They make nice mojitos here and the crushed ice is nice on a warm night! read more

Cool, hip and funky. We sat on sofas in the window and didn't want to get up! Reggae easing through the speakers, cold augustiner and friendly bar staff. We were immediately give a glass of free nibbles which is always an a+ in my book. Wanted to have a quick drink and then meet friends but that turned into a few drinks and a change of plans, friends came to us and we chilled out and watched as the sun went down and the area came to life. (One little note for the geeks: dyson airblade in the wc, for me its cool when places use up to date technology!!!) Go there, you wont regret it!! read more

Nice bar for an early evening's night out. It gets pretty packed quickly, so arriving early guarantees you a place to sit and cheaper drinks during Happy Hour (until 22:00). I had a Caipirinha, which was large and delicious, for 4.50 euros. I like this bar because of the unique "fish" tank in the center of the bar. Digital fish swim around the tank and digital leaves float on top of it. It's touch sensitive, so the fish and the leaves react to your fingers. This is really my favorite bit about this place, which has everything to do with the fact that a large chunk of my brain never grew up with the rest of it and I still have immense child-like fascination with these type of things. Recommended for an early evening, but try to get out early, as well, or you're going to have to arrange for a battering ram to force your way outside. read more

Don't really understand the bad reviews, cause I really liked this bar! They play really good music and have an underground disco section. If you don't want wait behind the crowd to get your drinks by the main bar, you can go underground to get your drinks there as it was way less busy. Prices are decent and staff is friendly. If I visited Hamburg again I'd probably return! read more

I already passed this bar many times on my way to the schanze. Never went in because of the tight packed crowd. Until last friday, I arrived early, lucky to find seats on the bar! Perfect setting, when you feel like drinking! Around 10oclock it was getting more crowded, which only improved the chill, social atmosphere. A goodlooking dj played funky background sounds, although, unfortunately, this is not the place to dance your night away...Perfect for starting off though! The caiprinhias were amazing, so was the service (only woman...?!), and after some tequilla gold shots I was feeling like I wasnt able to leave this place ever again! Or else...come back for sure! Prices are reasonable, luckily! Another reason I should go back...There was supposed to be an aquarium in the middle of the room (cool!!), I did had some thoughts..but yeah, to be sure, definitely have to come back to have a closer look! read more

Cool bar on Bartelsstraße in the Schanze district of Hamburg. It's quite dark, with semi-comfy leather seating around the edges of the room, and inoffensive beats. The main attraction on a Tuesday night is the happy hour cocktails until 2200. I have to stress that happy hour in Germany is not the same as the UK - they are not half price. You're talking around EUR 4.50 for a caprhina and slightly more for a mojito - but they are very very good cocktails. You can order at the bar and then get them brought over to you, so you are free to enjoy the trippy electronic fish tank! This is the centrepiece of the bar, and has shallow water in which you can put your fingers and get the fish to chase you! I've never seen anything like it... read more

Goldfischglas - Bars Near Me - Hamburg, HH

I always come to this place when i get visitors in town. First of all, its the first pub/bar on the way to the schulterblatt. second of all I love the aquarium. don't ask me why? i just do. FYI, if you've never been there, there's an "aquarium" in the middle of the pub. Don't mistake it for a table. A couple of my visiting (girl)friends thought it was a table and 'pouf' put their bags into the water. Luckily no irreparable damages. Anyway beside this warning (and anecdote) do go there! Its nice, its fun, its packed, and its not too expensive! Happy hour till 22.00! read more

The Goldfischglas is a nice bar at the Schanze. The menu offers the usual drinks and a few cocktails. It was very crowded and noisy. There is a tabletop football available. Enjoy read more

They sell Augustiner and good, cheap (before 10pm) cocktails. One problem seems to be that it gets a little too packed. We got there as early as 8pm (very early for a Friday night out in Hamburg) and even then we only managed to get half of the last table in the place. By the time we left, two hours later, it was so packed that you literally had to push people out of the way to get anywhere. Like a mosh-pit. read more

There's nobody in Hamburg, who doesn't know this place. Why? As you walk down the street at Schanze this bar is the first that looks inviting and worth trying. And I must say, it's nice there, it's stylish, warm atmosphere, clean toilets (i have to say that, cause there are so many bars with utterly ugly WCs). Can get really packed late in the evening. Really good crowd: yound, trendy and cool people, sometimes too cool. It's not the cheapest bar, but also not the most expensive. read more

One of the few good quality places on the Schanze. Not too big with a DJ inside, still it is not a club, but a bar. Cocktails are quite OK as well. It gets pretty crouded so make sure you go a bit earlier or around 10pm. They have a huge screen-bar where when you move your hand the animated fish reacts and starts moving towards your hand. It is quite cool. read more

A pretty cool place near the Schanze. Your typical bar/lounge concept with some interesting design concepts. Without going into details others have already written about, notable is that the crowd tends to be in their twenties (college kids), half the people stand out front so they can smoke and the bartenders tend to be quite nice (rare in Hamburg bars). The chick with half her breasts tattooed is totally cool and the Asian guy is always helpful. There's also a small room downstairs which I found a bit claustrophobic.this is totally skip-able. Definitely worth checking out though as it's one of the morein places when it comes to the Schanze. read more

Boring drinks and very young crowd. We are getting old and our visit here did not help. The lamp were nice though. A thought: is is just the Germans that put all the booze bottles on the shelves behind the bar? Not helping the decor... read more

My fav stop in Hamburg. Best vibes, good music, good people, lovely bartenders

Indifferent staff, very contrived atmosphere, limited choice of drinks, not a fan really.

Nice enough bar, however the two people who came to chat me up that night stole my iPhone 6 from my bag! Beware of taking care of your belongings here! read more

Another cozy bar on schanze, where you can hang out any day of the week and drink some nice cocktails or whatever you prefer.
