I know Kick and Co for one reason: Pool tables. There aren't too many bars in Hamburg that have…read morepool tables, but this is one of them. I've only been once, on a Sunday evening, to play pool and the place was a bit quiet, but the service and beer were good and the music was decent.

Roth is a great little cosy pub/restaurant. However, if I'm honest I've never eaten here, so I'm…read morejust reviewing it as a pub. They have Rothaus Tannenzäpfle on tap, along with quite a few Irish beers, including Guiness and Murphys, so they have the beer pretty much nailed. The staff are friendly enough, and because of the restaurant side of things you get table service for your beer, which is nice. I'll have to try the food sometime

The Millerntor pub, not to be confused with the nearby Millerntor stadium, is unsurprisingly a FC…read moreSt Pauli pub. It's very tiny and pretty friendly. The beer is cheap and they will be showing German football (if there's any on).

The Gunclub is one of a kind. The owner and his staff are very friendly and you will soon learn…read morethat they love music. They will play you music that you have likely never heard before. This is a real bar with really good music and authentic staff and a great selection of drinks. The bar often has DJ´s playing. One on my favorite bars in St. Pauli. It is a sort of insider tip if you want to experience the real St. Pauli spirit. It´s location just off the Reeperbahn is easy and ideal to reach. Hopfenstrasse has several other very authentic bars next to Gunclub. I will be back.

Nice bar with fair prices, good music and a kicker table. The service is friendly and it has a nice…read morefeel to it. The bar is placed in the bar district Hopfenstrasse. There are four bars placed next to each other and they offer everything from surf to punk rock music. The Gun Club often has DJs and the music they play is mostly rock and punk rock. Sometimes you will have really good bands playing there so look at their site for info. http://www.facebook.com/gunclubstpauli Good and central location. Well worth a visit. I will surely be back. Have fun in the Gun Club I had :-).

This place is the closest I've felt to being in an English pub over here in Germany, tho thankfully…read morewhen they show live football there's no sign of any overbearing English pricks. With a nice range of alcohol, really cosy atmosphere, and always friendly bar staff I'm happy to call it my local.

A true Cult place. This place is surely as retro as it gets. I guess the owners were born there…read more:-). If you want something original St. Pauli this must be it - I have not seen anything like this in many years. You just have to go there and see it yourself - it cannot be described. You will get great service, nice DJ music and a friendly smile and a lot of stories :-). They serve beer, a sort of champagne and drinks such as vodka, rum, whiskey etc. They have a "Fussball" table for those interested. I have seen the Gammaray lead singer there several times so if you are a fan it is surely worth a visit. I will be back to this unique and very simple place with its warm and cute simplicity. It is a one of kind bar !!! I have not been to any other bars in St. Pauli where the owners say thank you for visiting when you leave...

This is likely as bizarre as it gets. It is like entering a fantastic colorful and great sounding…read moretwilight zone. Some people claim that David Lynch got most of his ideas for Twin Peaks in this bar. You will find characters here that you could not imagine existed for real unless you have a very twisted mind. The music played here is likely the best in St. Pauli if not in the entire world. The old nearly deaf DJ plays the best music I have ever heard anywhere in the world. His same age wife is running the bar in a great and comfortable pace. If you are into the rare and unspoiled this is the place to be. This is the real St. Pauli with an original old sailor as DJ. This is an old bar with the candle of eternal life located on the bar desk. Some of the guests in the bar are said to be over 100 years old (maybe even the DJ and his wife) and they all claim that if you eat a small piece of the candle of eternal life you will as the name suggests - likely live forever. This is great news as you can then forever enjoy this fantastic bar with great music and originals. If you get bored living forever there is a kicker table where you can play football in all eternity... I will surely be back.

Cool bar, with rock music environment! Decoration is top!…read morePlenty of beer and shots I came to early but felt good. Well hosted. That's what it matters in the end. I'll be back

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.

This was one of the nicest, most relaxed, dark and dingy bars I found in Hamburg, I was in the city…read morefor a week on my own and was comfortable to read my book in here and have a couple of beers or white wines without feeling conspicious. The staff were friendly, the DJ was relaxed and varied, there's even thai snacks brought round to your table. One of the least pretentious bars in the area.
