The quality of the space, cleanliness of the bathrooms and main areas was also amazing. We had already had dinner so I can't speak for the food but I can imagine that was also amazing.

Honestly I did not expect such a great jazz concert! The club itself is nothing special: lots of…read morewood, old-style furniture, paintings of jazz musicians on the walls, etc. Words stylish, classy, sophisticated are not applicable. Very outdated I would say, but at the same time unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere, which makes you feel comfortable and chilled. Pick the right concert and you will want to come here again. I take one star off because except of music (and it was great! have I already said that?) everything was way too casual.

I haven't been back in a long time, but with my now much-more-substantial knowledge of Hamburg, it doesn't feel so far away - especially if you happen to live in Altona or own a bike (cycling around Hamburg is easy). The bar itself is sort of like a big shed (see the photos). They have a small stage at one end for bands, which is actually the only reason that I've ever visited!

We walked in relatively early on a Saturday evening, the place was quite empty, a sign outside indicated that a party/concert was on that evening from nine. We eyed up some seats and before we knew it the staff said that all the seats were reserved, next the lady asked 'are you here for the party?', before i could respond (we might have wanted to stay/find out more, etc.), a man jumped in and said 'no, they are not'. We won't be back.

The drink list is unbelievably extensive, and makes it a little hard to choose from. There were classic drinks and more interesting drinks. They had a whole section on caipirinhas, which was exciting to me because I love them. The drinks tasted really good and the presentation was beautiful. Inside the place is huge, and it almost looks like a regular (coffee) cafe. There wasn't any jazz music playing (quite the opposite), but I figured maybe they have theme nights. The waiters were friendly and service was quick. I didn't try any food, but it looked and sounded good based on the descriptions. The downside-- The jumbo drinks didn't have more alcohol, but cost like 3 euros more. So stick to the regular sized drinks!

I am from Chicago, IL in the US and I went on vacation to Hamburg, Germany…read more I went out with my friend to have a couple drinks and we saw this place. We went up to the bouncer to ask him what time this place closed and he was very unfriendly, unwelcoming, and acted like he was discriminative. The bouncer said something in German and literally pushed me to the side. I didn't say anything to offend him so I was surprised why he even pushed me - let alone touch me! I felt disrespected and belittled and so I called the police. The police officer that came was a woman who surprisingly did not take the time to ask me why I called them. She immediately spoke with the staff of this night club and they spoke in German. She then came towards me to grab my cell phone to delete any pictures which I took of the bouncer who disrespected me by pushing me. She then sought the help of the bouncer to come and grab me to help handcuff me. Why did she hand cuff me when I called the police?! I kept telling her I'm the one that called the police for help and she disregarded me and had a smirk on her face. She told me the bouncer speaks German and that he told her that I was threatening them that I would kill them. Who would believe that someone who goes on vacation and just wants to check out this place would be accused of threatening to kill them?! How ridiculous is that? I told her take me to the police station because I don't trust you and I need to talk to someone else. When we got to the police station, she said to me everything is okay we won't arrest you but you have to pay me 120 Euros. I told her I'm not paying anything because I didn't do anything wrong! I told her I need to call my US embassy and after speaking to the US embassy they let me go. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE WHO VISITS HAMBURG, GERMANY! WHAT A GARBAGE PLACE! I have specific photos of those who treated me unfairly that work in this place in case anyone wants to know who these disrespectful people are! I really didn't want to select any stars but Yelp would not let me post this review without choosing even 1 star!!!

Grosse Freiheit 36 isn't my favourite concert venue in Hamburg, or even my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or even…read more5th choice, but it still gets 5 stars! Grosse Freiheit 36 is where the mid-level to big bands often play in Hamburg. I was last here a few weeks ago to see Bon Iver, who were originally meant to be playing Knust (but I guess it sold out), they were then moved to Uebel & Garfarlich, and then finally to Grosse Freiheit 36 - this should give you an idea of the pecking order of some of the venues in Hamburg :) The place is pretty huge and on two levels - almost certainly an old theatre. There are bars everywhere, and while the alcohol choice isn't great, the prices are not so terrible (still expensive compared to a normal bar though). My only slight annoyance is that the toilets are annoyingly located just to one side of the stage, which if you're at the other side can mean quite a lot of pushing and "sorry" to get to.
