Fabrik is a brilliant concert venue. The roof is so high that it feels like a cathedral, but…read moreactually I think it used to be a factory of some kind. There are (at least) three levels, but when I was there they had only opened up one and a half. Even so there was loads of space. I can't believe that it took me a year to finally get along to Fabrik - I'll definitely be back - I'd like to go for one of their club nights

Was there yesterday (second time) to see Black Seeds from NZ. Great gig and the choice of the venue…read morewas perfect: 1) it's relatively small (it was about 500 people yesterday and it was full) so the band can interact with public and pass on the energy. When you're close to the stage - you feel it! 2) very informal, relaxed atmosphere. Drinks are sold at the bar, also there is a snack bar in the corner. 3) there are also places to sit and inner balcony/gallery upstares - need to try it next time! Verdict: great music venue, will go again. Darjeeling

Very bizarre place, this is. We went to see Ladytron here last night (see separate review) and were…read moreonly allowed into the concert hall a full 40 minutes after doors open. Sound was horrible throughout the night and the 40 minute intermission between warm-up band and main act was almost unbearable (I don't have anything against Johnny Cash, but 40 minutes of him straight through during the wait for an electro concert?). I'm not sure I'd want to come back here to see a concert. I was disappointed by the setup and the way the evening was logistically handled.

This is a biased review because this is where I died and went to heaven. I have returned to the…read moreland of the living for my family (and to write this review) but I want it noted that this is the scene of my first departure from this Earth. Honestly, I don't know if I'm used to everything being so expensive in San Francisco but I found this place to be incredibly inexpensive. I saw a concert and had a drink for less than €25. My import beer was €4. That is just insanely cheap. How are they making money? I nursed my one beer for fear of having to go to the bathroom and missing out on ANYTHING. I was upstairs in the beautiful but small concert area and wasn't about to lose my spot near the stage. And then the concert started and then I died. Surrounded by a bunch of sort-of-likeminded fans, it was a great place to feel like, "OMG. Can anyone actually survive from being this happy?!" By the nights end, some lovely gal finally convinced me to put my coat back on before going outside and probably actually freezing to death. Could I really freeze to death, though? When one is so overly blissed out from chatting with Matthew Mole, the best singer in the whole entire world, who is super entirely nice, and omg, so sweet, and wonderful, and amazing, and is so worth everything it took to get here... oh, my heart. How the Prinzebar was able to contain all of this is beyond me. The guy at the coat check counter was also super lovely. Great intimate venue, insanely cheap prices, and filled with tons of really amazing feelings. Swoon!

This was a super vibey venue! The people who worked here were very nice.read more

SUPER DIVEY. AND I LOVE IT…read more Bouncers at the door, a dark hallway, upstairs, downstairs, and a tiny outdoor patio for beer and entertainment. Standing room only in a crowded venue might turn you off, but being outdoors while drinking beer and listening to live music offsets any discomfort one might suffer. Pins reminiscent of the 80s with the bar name and logo are given instead of coin to ensure the return of plastic beer cups. Cheesy? Not at all. This place has a little retro feel to it.

The family that run it are friendly, the beer is good, and they have live rock music in the basement every Wednesday - what's not to like? There's only two slightly negative things that I can say: - it's very smokey downstairs - the crowd (at least when I was there) is mostly aged 40+ Still, I'd say that this is a must see on the Hamburg live-music scene!

Well, seems that this hairdresser is really into guitars!!!! That would be your first thought at…read morethe entry. Basically it is like Hair saloon that turns into a bar in the evening. Stage is downstairs, so don't be surprised if you hear music, but don't find any sign of the band at the entry. Got our drinks in a bar (quite cheap, it was about 5EUR for a wine and a beer) and headed ourselves downstairs. There was some Jimi Hendrix cover band on the stage and full room of relaxed seniors.I definitely was the youngest person in there:) Not that it would make me feel bad. Wouldn't spend there the entire evening though, but it is a great place for one drink. Well, at least for the reason that you wont see bands that often in Hair saloon:D Thinking about having a haircut there. Seems from a german review, that you can have a music related chat while having a hair cut, which is kinda cool. Note to self: Every Wednesday live bands. Every first Friday of the month open stage for everyone.

Anywhere in the main floor…read morewill give you a good view of the stage, and there's some space at the back for merch and sitting/hanging out. Cloakroom is 1€ per item, Astras are just 2€ a pop (2,50€ inc. deposit), bar staff are very friendly (and speak some English if you get stuck) and, amazingly, the toilets are actually very nice. A personal highlight for me was the fantastic view onto the harbour. It all added up to create a fantastic gig space. One thing I'd said, although it might not be the venue's fault, is the band mix wasn't perfect. In particular, the guitars needed to be a bit louder. Only really an issue for audiophiles though. Would definitely come back here, no questions.

one of the oldest punk rock clubs, if not the oldest- in Hamburg. Near the harbor, it is less than…read moreten minutes away from the Reeperbahn. it's a dingy bar, cheap drinks, great music on any given night. Sound can get a little rough, the floor a little sticky, and the room very hot when the club is backed. the bar is disconnected from the music side. as far as I Can tell, an all ages venue. english is commonly spoken in the entire area, and most of the staff speak it fluently. I have been to the club numerous times and always have a great time.

All positive comments should be taken in that context…read more I was sad when Skorbut got closed down, but now I've seen the new location, I think the move was in the best interests of all concerned. The old location is now occupied by the incredibly civilised Krug wine bar. This new location is about 3-4 times bigger and much more airy (it's not that airy). One of my favourite things about the place is the decoration. The walls and and ceiling are completely covered in multi-layered posters for everything from punk and metal bands through to sci-fi films like Terminator. The beers are cheap(ish) and entry is free. You can even find some real punks here. All-in-all, it's a bar to go for a few beers, play table football or watch some crazy underground punk band. It's not a bar to go dancing, watch football or have a date(!)

If you go there you should try the "Pfeffi" an Eastern German shot that tastes exactly like mouthwash - just a lot stronger. At least it is really cheap :-). I liked the place and will visit it again next time I am around. All the best and "Up the Punk" as it says on the entry sign !!!

The Markthalle is a bit of a Hamburg metal mecca. If a metal band has been to Hamburg, they've…read morealmost certainly played the Markthalle. It's a mid-sized venue, which (I assume) holds a few thousand people. There's no seating, thankfully, but around the stage the standing area is tiered by quite high steps, meaning that even the smallest person will have a good chance of beign able to see the stage. Tip: The beer is reasonably priced (for a concert venue) at EUR3, but you can easily bring that price down by picking up a few cups which all have a EUR1 deposit, which metallers don't seem to care about so much. Without trying to find any cups, or even moving from my spot, I brought the beer price down to EUR2 per beer :)

Great gig venue just near the Hauptbahnhof in the centre of Hamburg. It's usually metal-focused, so…read morereading the posters with the names of all the upcoming acts is amusing to say the least. If Skelton Warfare or diediedie are your cup of team (I just made those names up), then here's your place. We were here to see the Black Rebel Motorcycle club, and even if you are really short, you can still see them, because it's all tiered standing down to the stage. Great sound quality, good service at the bar, and it's a free sauna too!

My main complaint is the cloakroom/coat check, which was an absolute nightmare and definitely the worst I've ever encountered. As soon as I had my ticket checked and went through the main door, bang, I was already in the cloakroom queue. And not only was this queue soul-destroyingly slow, it snaked around the whole venue, and that's not an exaggeration. It turned left past the bar, the merch table, another bar, the toilets, then it turned right up the stairs, went across the entire upper tier (going past another bar, naturally) and finally turned right down half a flight of stairs. When I got there, it was two guys in a 1 metre squared hole in the wall. For a 1,000+ capacity venue, that's absolutely ludicrous. By this time, I'd been queuing for half an hour and had missed the entire support slot, even though I was in the queue when doors opened. Another peculiarity was the standing area. Naturally it was riddled with mosh pits, which was fine for the most part. However, there's some funny tiered standing areas at the sides which are incredibly hard to see in the dark, resulting in a fair amount of tripping as the crowd churned. Luckily, everyone was quick to help each other up, so it wasn't a massive issue. Just something to watch out for. I'm not sure I'd come back here unless I was really keen on the band. And if I did, I definitely wouldn't bring a coat.
