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.

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

Came here looking for the infamous last drink, after dinner but, before going home!…read more Impressed that I was able to find somewhere to hang up my coat let alone be able to get to the bar and have service!! whoop whoop. Quick with delivering out cocktails we were also able to find some table space. All this in the run up to Christmas, cold night and in a reasonably packed bar. Dimmed lighting and music providing fun atmosphere. Friendly staff and people. Towards the end of the night, we even had table service a plus for me. Gotta love table service in a bar!! The only downside to this bar was the ability to smoke inside. Not a fan of smoking and not used to smoking inside for a while now, this was a shock to the system, my clothes, hair and lungs. This, for me was the only down side to this bar. Although, would come again. :)

This place was mobbed when we ventured in on a cold Tuesday night in March. We had been looking for…read moresomewhere to a have quick drink with a decent atmosphere and it fitted the bill. Named after a gangster from America during the 1920's the place had photos of him everywhere. It was was also dark and moody looking, set up to be like a cocktail bar that a mobster might frequent. In terms of a place to have a drink this could well have been a 4 star as it was busy, had some atmosphere, attentive service and a good array of drink options. For two main reasons for me it is only a three star. Firstly they allow smoking inside. For me it is now a very much out dated practise that no way should be allowed inside bars. Secondly the drinks were a bit on the pricey side working out at 27 euros for three. So works out about £7 a drink, which is pricey compared to other places in the city. If these two things don't bother you I reckon you will love it here. Decent cocktail bar, certainly busy on a Tuesday night.

Just like there's a moment of eye-pain when you open the blinds a sunny day, there's gonna be a moment of awkwardness when you walk through the door into the super romantic ambience.

I used to tend bar so I am inclined to have a broad range in regards to drinks. The guys here blow me away with their knowledge. Great bartendars to "chat" with and talk alcohol. The vibe in the place is cool. Everyone is here because they know they are going to get the best drinks. Period! The fact that it's pretty classy in terms of the little details makes it that much better. I made the mistake last night of planning on going there after dinner for a drink with my girlfriend. Well, one drink became two and you know the rest of the story. Now I just need to figure out how best to get over there to go pick up my car. Tip: don't drive there for 1.) the obvious reason of thereafter not drinking and driving but, 2.) because there is no parking whatsover in the area.....it's all residential and you have to drive around quite a bit to find a "legal" spot for the car. In summary, if you're looking for "hardcore" bartending and really quality drink, this is your place. It's a bit off the beaten track but it's always "on the way" somehow. Do your best to visit!
