LeLion

Heavy, sound-dampening carpeting, dim indirect lighting, bizarrely patterned wallpaper, and as a focal point — a massive metal lion set into the back wall, standing guard over the people at the bar. Welcome to the Kingdom of the Lion! Here, Jörg Meyer invented the now-famous Gin Basil Smash.

Große Freiheit 36

Große Freiheit 36

Grosse Freiheit 36 is actually made up of three venues. The big concerts and parties take place in the main hall. In the Kaiserkeller, legendary because of the Beatles' performances in the 1960s, small bands regularly take the stage and music fans dance to rock, metal and gothic sounds during the week. The atmosphere in Galerie 36 is quite different: there, people sway to Latin and reggae music every Friday and Saturday evening.

Mojo Club

Mojo Club

When Mojo Club opened at the beginning of the 1990s, it was the place to be because it definitively enshrined club culture in Hamburg. The hip hop and dancefloor jazz evenings were of the highest quality, and the so-called 'Dub Conferences' held here, where the people on the dancefloor were soaked in bass, are also fondly remembered. Which is why old and young dance enthusiasts are delighted that the legendary Mojo Club has opened its doors again for more long nights.

Boilerman Bar

Boilerman Bar

The Boilerman Bar specialises in so-called Highballs. These drinks consist of a base spirit like whisky or gin and a 'filler' like ginger ale, tonic water, or the like. The best-known Highball is probably the Gin & Tonic. One might think such drinks are easy to prepare, but at the Boilerman, they are elevated to an art form.
