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 Very outdated I would say, but at the same time unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere, which makes you feel comfortable and chilled.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.

Birdland Jazzclub Hamburg is a top-notch jazz venue. Jam sessions on Thursday nights and featured…read moreartists on the weekend, excellent must-visit place whenever in Hamburg!

The vibes were immaculate! Also loved the owner, all the bartenders and servers were top tier and…read moregave excellent customer service never allowing our glasses to empty. 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. I absolutely loved it here. If I'm ever in Hamburg again, I'm definitely making a night of it at the Cotton Club.

Great place for live music and friendly staff and audience too. A great night out - I hope to catch…read moreanother band there soon.

Fantastically weird and wonderful venue which is in a converted trailer in the Schanze. They have…read morelive music a few nights per week, and sometime arcane theatre performances with everyone crammed into this tiny space. The outside garden is under the trees, and the candle-lit tables give a chilled, festival vibe. You could almost forget you were in the city

When I first visited HafenBahnhof I was living in St Pauli and quite new to Hamburg - it felt like…read morea very long trip to get there and back. 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!

I have definitely reviewed the Hafenbahnhof before. But since Qype doesn't remember, here I go…read moreagain! It feels like miles away although certain people may argue it's not, it is. But don't let that put you off. Great views of the docks out of the windows whilst you sip a cold astra and watch Hamburg's very own Ricky Kings play. It's all good.

Based on less than a minute in the club, I would describe the place as unwelcoming, rude and…read morepretentious. 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.

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
