If you're playing any music instrument this place will be like an amusement park for you not only…read morebecause it's inside of the fascinating so called Media Bunker. It stretches on 2 floors and you can almost everything you need. Prices are really good as well, as on Amazon or slightly more expensive (but nothing stops you to come here and play with whatever you want to buy). I bought here my set of speakers and a couple of toys for music production and I come back from time to time to check out some new piece of hardware or instrument. Thumbs up!

I had so few expectations of this place. I'd walked past this graffiti-clad monolith before and was…read morepretty convinced it was a smack den. So imagine my surprise when a band from back home came to town and announced they were playing a show there. What I found was a phenomenal space for music and art in general. Surprisingly decent acoustics, awesome DIY setup, cheap beer, relaxed door policy (feel free to pop in and out, check out the bowl outside if the weather's nice), cool staff happy to put up with my broken German...the whole place just had a great vibe. The fact they wanted to knock this place down is crazy. This place is nuts.

The Rote Flora is, in my opinion, a must-see when you come to Hamburg. Even though it's in the…read moreSchanze area, it seems to be tied with the Kiez as half of the cultural heart of St. Pauli. The place is basically the centre for left-wing politics and also anarchists. It's where the yearly riot happens, with the nearby Haspa bank getting continually destroyed. It used to be a theatre, but now you'll find practice areas for bands, a café-type-thing and a dirty dirty electro club. I still haven't been for one of the club nights, but I really want to. It's pretty high on my list of things to do in Hamburg

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!

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.

If you're in Ottensen at 5am and want to go to a lively bar, well, you don't have many choices…read more Familien Eck would be one though. Maybe one of the reasons is that it's pretty tiny, so it doesn't need that many people to be lively :) It's basically a dive bar, and a fair percentage of the crowd will probably be quite alternative/punky looking. Everyone is nice though, and the drinks are a reasonable price. One noteworthy thing is that to save space they have the DJ working almost on the ceiling! It's hard to describe, so you'll just have to see for yourself.

When you book a ticket through the Elbphilharmonie website make sure to pay attention to the location.

I can see the bassist, drummer and third guitarist. I can't see the singer, lead guitarist or keyboard player. I'm on the 3rd row in the first balcony. I'd say that perhaps 20% of the audience get a good view. A further 30% can see the entire stage, but from a far distance. 50% will get a very impaired-to-non-existent view (some seats are behind columns/walls). I just don't think that's acceptable for the prices. The sound is admittedly good and the place looks quite nice, but those are the only good points. Other negatives include a lack of atmosphere (due to it being all seated). It's uncomfortably hot as there is seemingly no ventilation if the doors are closed (which they always are during the performance). There's also just one choice of beer, so if you don't like König Pils you're out of luck. I'd say it's the worst concert venue in Hamburg - especially for watching rock concerts. Unfortunately, if the band you want to see is booked here there's not much you can do. I can give them a bad review though.
