Nice little 60's-styled bar in a side street of Eimsbüttel…read more A purple wall, a mirror ball and a cool DJ spinning some 60's tunes create a funky atmosphere. Getting seats was a bit of a challenge but we succeeded as it's only a small room. Seats aren't too comfy though, more like simply leather benches and chairs. The clientele was relaxed and slightly older (30/40) than the usual young crowd you'd find in these kind of bars. Sadly neither Astra nor Becks on offer there but Augustiner and Pilsner Urquell instead. Also they seem to have a cocktail of the week for a good price. It's a fine place to kick of a good night out or alternatively for a quiet beer in the neighbourhood during the week. Not too bad.

Great bar styled in 60's decor. Kinda small but plenty of seating usually available. Really well…read moremade drinks and a fairly good selection for such a small place. A bit out of the way but definitely worth it. The bartender was super nice and I'm glad a friend of mine dragged me over here. Seems like this place is not yet discovered and is a bit of an insider tip. Let's hope it stays that way which I think it will due to location

Ambiance is OK, cocktails are standard and way too pricey. Staff is pretty friendly though.read more

We were so happy to have come across this bar when we were looking for a place to have pre-theater…read moredrinks. It's such an imaginative concept; we wanted to order everything on the menu! They were also really helpful in explaining the menu and how you can get a chug (smaller size) if you don't want the full serving. We wanted to try everything. Our main comment and unfortunately it affected our experience a lot is that smoking is allowed inside. This is not uncommon for bars in this country but they could have provided a pleasant experience for everyone and not just some by not allowing smoking inside. We smelled like smoke and our drinks came with a side of ill health. Other than that, we loved this bar and maybe it won't be raining next time so we can sit outside (where people still smoke but the smoke has somewhere to go).

Super Duper bar ! I stayed in Hamburg for 2 nights and…read more...ended up there twice :D In the speakeasy style, you'll find amazing tequila-based cocktails made by the blond girl who's probably one of the best bartender I met so far. Genuine atmosphere, a bit dark, just what's needed, with cool music and people. I tried their special menu which basically is a 6-course cocktail tasting (no worries, they all come into the "Chug" size glass;)) through which you'll discover their signature recipes. Pretty cool stuff, I recommend it for sure. Prices are very ok and staff is super friendly! I loved it and will go back next time I'm in the city !

Service is excellent at Le Lion. It's a speakeasy so you do need to ring and be let in. I went…read moreearlier on a Saturday evening so it wasn't packed yet. 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 speakeasy bar is wonderful, not just for its service and decor, but for their well thought out…read morecocktail menu. The drinks are extremely well made. I would definitely return here.

The Tower Bar, amazing cocktails as ever - now non-smoking HUZZZAAAA…read more It's really nice to be sitting here without the smoke finally. All cocktails are hand-made and you can easily watch. Prices are starting from 9 euros per cocktail, happy hour is every day from 6 (when they open) till 7 pm. Be there on time!! The best places are taken quickly! The view is of course amazing and even enjoyable in bad weather. I can really recommend it as a finish to a sight-seeing tour around harbour

The bar is situated in the heart of eimsbüttel. The interior is nice and cosy with lovely vintage…read moresofas. Unfortunately we were disappointed by the cocktails. We had a Gin Fizz which quite frankly had no fizz and a Mojito which was nothing more than ok. I do hope that the coffees served are nicer as it's a lovely little place.

Solid drinks, a bit overpriced though. Ambiance is generic / OK, you could smell the toilets inside…read morethe bar. It's not living up to its hype. Staff is not very attentive.

As is compulsory on any visit to Hamburg, we walked up and down the Reeperbahn on a recent visit…read more We hit upon Glanz & Gloria and loved it - great ambience, good size, not too busy and brilliant music (almost a bit too good as they don't have a dance floor - shame). My chain-smoking friends were happy the smoking ban did not apply here. The caipirinhas came with glow sticks, but were not really up to it. They were stretched with too much lime juice to turn them into long drinks - more lemsip than cocktail. What a shame. I would definitely go again, but try another drink.

I had a great time watching the Germany vs. Argentina World Cup quarter-final here the other day. A…read moreseat near the TV, good atmosphere (although this would be the same anywhere in Germany for that game) and plentiful beer - what more could you ask for? At the end of the game they played a succession of World Cup songs - a favourite of mine was "Don't Cry for Me Maradona" to the tune of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". Also the ubiquitous "Schland Oh Schland" to the tune of the Eurovision song by Lena. One of my friends used to work here, and so we get excellent service and cheap prices. After the game you just walk outside and are already on Spielbudenplatz to join the Reeperbahn party, so all in all it was a perfectly excellent place to watch the Germany game. All that being said, it does essentially feel like a pre-theatre bar, being part of the theatre as it is, and so without a particular reason/event to go there I'd personally probably stick to more traditional bars.

Loved this place! We arrived early so it was fairly empty but that allowed us very personal service…read morefrom Olympia, the bar tender. We started with the Old Pal and Bratapfel which were winter specialties both excellent and perfect winter cocktails. She then recommended two more, off-menu cocktails based on our tastes.

I'll make this nice and simple:…read more 1. Yes, this is a smoker's bar, but that doesn't mean you should not turn on the AC or ventilation system. We reeked like an ashtray after just a few minutes in there. 2. Don't you ever serve Riesling with ice and charge €7,50 for a teeny weenie glass of it -- that's just wrong. 3. What kind of a bar doesn't have small plates and little forks or spoons ready? The excuse "we're just a bar" is absolutely unacceptable. If there's a birthday at your place you must have such things ready. Say what you want, I'll give this place another year max...if they'll make it that long. Just another hipster spot pushing gentrification forward. AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU CAN!
