Hamburg · Nightlife

St. Pauli's scruffy live-music cellar at Reeperbahn 136. Guitar bands early, sweaty club nights afterwards.

Fourth floor of a WWII flak bunker on Feldstraße: concerts, club nights and a view out over the rooftops.

A tiny wooden hut above the fish market with a programme every single night and no interest in impressing you.

The big room off the Reeperbahn: touring bands in the hall, XXL parties downstairs, open into the small hours.

Birthplace of the Gin Basil Smash. No reservations, card only, groups of eight max; from 17:00, closed Sundays.
