Drinks & Nightlife

8 min walk: An unpretentious, gets-you-where-you-want-to-go kinda place, Aurel is that neighbourhood bar where the locals go to start (or end!) their evening. Its year-round Christmas lights, warm blankets and cosy interior decoration makes it the go-to choice for when you need some peace and quiet during the day to work alongside a cappuccino or at night for a bustling, lively atmosphere. Even though the popular place can get quite busy, with people sitting wherever they can in and around the bar including along the curb outside of it, the friendly waiters will quickly serve you, and with a smile too. Taste their classic Caipirinhas, or try a Diskoschorle (vodka, club mate and red bull).

5 min walk: Reh bar, with its no-fuss drinks menu at fair prices, is the kind of place many locals visit before or after dinner. The tables are quite big, inviting us to socialise and meet new people. The happy hour from 18-21h makes the bar get quite full, however it also adds to the atmosphere of the place. As a plus: smoking is not aloud inside, however if that bothers you, I recommend going to another neighbourhood favourite that’s just five minutes away by foot, Aurel.

15 min train: The 20th floor of the Empire Riverside skyscraper hotel in Hamburg’s St Pauli is boxed with 3 metered floor-to-roof glass windows, calling itself the Skyline Bar 20 Up. The name does the cocktail lounge justice: those panoramic windows are perfect to make the most of the beautiful sunset reflecting on the Elbe and falling into Hamburg’s skyline. The dress code is smart-casual, however if you still want to insist to wear sneakers, then you’ll have to expect some funny looks from the bouncers at the ground floor (personal experience). From 6 to 8pm the bar also offers sushi from “Hamburgs most well known female sushi chef”-small mix platter at 35 euros, large one at 65 euros.

20 min train: Located over two floors with an open air terrace at the top of one of Hamburgs most famous bunkers, is the Uebel & Gefährlich night club and concert space. The fun starts right at the beginning with the elevator that takes you all the way to the top floor, the mini party space has its very own DJ and is the perfect thing to get you in the mood. Once in, enjoy the spacious dance floor, the chill (smoking) room decorated like a grandmother’s living room, the roof top terrace with amazing views to the TV tower and, and last but definitely not least, a great sound system.

15 min bus: Is it a bar? Is it a café? Is it a club? Actually Goldfischglas is all three at the same time. You can have a cappuccino, play table football, enjoy the long drinks, or go downstairs and dance the night away in their mini disco. Their happy hour caipirinhas (4,50 eur) and mojitos (6,50 eur) can be enjoyed until 22h which is probably the reason why this neighbourhood favourite gets quite full at night. And also because it is located so perfectly in the middle of the lively Sternschanze neighbourhood. Open every day until late!

10 min train: Bar hopping and dancing. Innumerable pubs and bars line the side street of the Reeperbahn, which is named for a former suburb of Hamburg. On weekends, this place is filled with locals and tourists, who party until the early hours of the day. Whimsical furnishings and curious restaurants await the visitors, who happily wander from pub to pub. The music selection promises lavish dancing.

Food Scene

10 min walk: In Köz Urfa, you get delicious food from the Anatolian region. Granted, most of the dishes on the menu are a not necessarily new, but you can hardly contest the quality of the various kebab and grilled dishes presented here. In addition to various kebabs (meat skewers from wood-fired grill), there is a variety of baked dishes, pasta, soups and salads available. In any case, the portions are generous. If you come with at least two people and are looking for a good portion of grilled meat, you should try the Köz Urfa plate, a mixed grill with all the meat specialities of the house. This is true greatness.

10 min walk: Scusa? The chicken-shaped wine carafes alone are not enough for you to come to Ottensen’s most authentic Italian restaurant? Ok, well good thing the food they serve, the service they give, and the romantic atmosphere once you step inside will convince you. Their menu is classic italian food with a twist: for example their Scalopini Al Wodka or al Pepperoncino are some up-to-date versions of the typical Scalopini al Limone (however when I asked where this one was the waiter did not hesitate for a second before telling me they will make it specially for me). They also serve some exciting pizza combinations, for example salami and artichokes.

10 min walk: Whether for snacks or the trendy bar, Strandperle has become a prime location on the beach at Ottensen... The Ottensen beach, which can be reached directly from one of the HADAG ferries, is probably one of the most beautiful places on the Hamburg Elbe. And in the middle lies Strandperle, which provides the numerous sun worshippers with food and drink and underlines the rustic charm of this stretch of the beach.

20 min walk: A legend and a must-see for all visitors to Hamburg: Since 1703, pretty much everything that is not bolted down has been traded here at Hamburg's most traditional market. From dusty porcelain jugs to a chirpy family of ducks, you can find just about anything in the shadow of the 100-year old fish auction hall.

2 min walk: The traditional, family atmosphere invites you to linger on the small, cozy tables of the interiors and the spacious summer terrace. They also offer a separate smoking room with two serveral entrances. A meal in the Trattoria Toscana offers a tour of the authentic Italian cuisine. From lovingly prepared appetizers to always freshly prepared main dishes, to sweet desserts and specialty coffees.

10 min walk: The first thing one notices about Knuth, even before walking in, is that the restaurant’s atmosphere seems to ooze out through the windows and light up the whole street with lively chatter and happy customers. After walking in, it is clear that this is a neighbourhood favourite where locals come to read one of the many magazines and newspapers that are offered while enjoying a hearty cake with coffee served in a huge bowl. Another great thing about Knuth is that the kitchen stays open during the day, and the selection of daily plates always pleases due to their variety.

3 min walk: The restaurant is small, cosy and traditional - the oldest wine bar of Hamburg withe live music. The tables are close together and the place has an authentic 19th century feel (in a good way). I can recommand the big cheese plate with a bottle of wine. The wine list is really excellent.

Parks & Nature

5 min walk: Experience the "big ships" close enough to touch! Almost every visitor sees the harbour in Hamburg for the first time from Landungsbrücken or from the Fish Market - but the view is much more extensive (and the feeling more impressive) when you take one of the harbour tours on offer.
