"Outdoor Dining Area" Bars in Hamburg
Culinary creativity meets mixology: the bar translates Kevin Fehling's three-star cuisine into cocktails. Classics are rethought, such as "Tom Kha Gai Milkpunch" (rum, Malibu and lemongrass), "Okinawa Shiso" (Lillet, yuzu liqueur and habanero) or the "Piquant Bastard" (white pepper, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco).
It's not just about drinking here - it's about tasting, sipping and discovering. A series of mini cocktails focussing on tequila and mezcal with lots of attention to detail entice - how about the "Buttermilk Margarita" with agave and quince, "Red Flag" with strawberry liqueur, mint cordial and Aperol or "Death by Peanut" with chocolate liqueur and cream?.
Marvellous panorama of Hamburg and spectacular Alster terrace on the sixth floor. The fine Champagne creations and sophisticated drinks are a perfect match. "Basilicous" with vodka, basil, elderflower or "Tipsy Summer" with cinnamon liqueur, yuzu, bitters. Nordic indulgence: "Tünn Dild Akvavit" with cucumber, lemon and egg white.
The highlight of the chic Hotel Tortue with its diverse gastronomic offering. At the centre of Bar Noir is the counter with heavy leather chairs and stylish lighting, and the drinks are no less impressive, with changing seasonal signature cocktails and variations of Negroni, Spritz, and Espresso Martini. After work on Thursdays there is a DJ.
Hidden away in a warehouse, the long bar attracts everyone's attention. Cocktails such as the mysterious purple-coloured "To pimp a Butterfly" or fruity signature drinks shimmer in the light, while fantastic Thai curries, duck breast or vegan pancakes come out of the show kitchen to share - the perfect way to unwind after work.
Dimmed lighting, dark blue and warm wood tones create an elegant setting at Mühlenkamp, while the vinyl collection of hosts Jules Koch and Timo Daniel sets the mood. Perfectly mixed classics such as Martini and Co meet sophisticated twists such as the "Choc'o'Clock" with rum, port and dark chocolate.
Scandinavian-inspired cosiness always fits in the north. This former horse stable serves very good creative cuisine and excellent drinks from bar manager Tim Pabel and his team. The ginger beer with the Moscow Mule is homemade, the Nordic Martini is a winner with aquavit, crème de mure, lemon and pineapple; a different take: "No Hugo".
Cocktail bar on the roof terrace of the Grand Elysée Hotel on the seventh floor. In addition to fancy cocktails and Champagne, there are also small treats - including a unique view over the city. Open from April until late summer.
Unmistakably Black Forest, but without the kitsch, in Eppendorf: dark wood, cuckoo clocks and Tobias Henn's busy bar team in traditional costume. Baden tapas and Rothaus Tannenzäpfle to quench hunger and thirst, creative cocktails with a Black Forest flavour such as "Bollenhut", "Sauerkirsch Old Fashioned" or "STAUFEN 1982" with raspberry spirit.
The mischievous boilerman on the wall could be chatting. But he remains silent and the busy bar crew set the tone with perfect highballs. Recommended for the classics: the freely chosen trio of "Ménage à Trois" with Moscow Mule, Paloma and Gin Basil, for example. Tip: "Purple Rain" with cherry shrub, raspberry and blue curaçao.
The rooftop terrace of the Geroge Hotel in St. Georg offers a unique view of the Outer Alster and a wide selection of cocktails, long drinks and more. Plus relaxed music and snacks. Open only during the summer months.
Botanical bar dreams with a jungle twist: herbal infusions, fine spirits and drinks with a twist. Like the "Black Walnut Old Fashioned" with a dash of chocolate bitters or the "Pussy Passion", which has it all without alcohol. Those who are hungry will be happy with the finest burgers, bowls, fries and sushi.
The large windows and, in summer, the terrace offer a marvellous view of the Inner Alster, perfect for an after-work or after-shopping drink. Cocktails, highballs or sours, selected wines and bar food. Signatures such as the "Lemon Cheesecake" with limoncello, cream cheese and whipped cream or "Rosy Sunset" for a sundowner.
In the old police station at Dammtor, the bar crew mixes over 500 spirits into classic highballs, signatures and creative cocktails such as "Polynesian Pearl Diver" with burning absinthe. Highlight in summer: the legendary "Sands Open Air" with hip DJs and a special atmosphere on the spacious terrace.
In the imposing building of an old iron foundry, you can enjoy the wild soul of St. Pauli in style: over 250 drinks, from classics to creative drinks such as the "Kung Fu Pandan" with pandan liqueur, coconut and nutmeg or the "Mediterranean Sour" with flambéed thyme. Check out the changing drink of the day.
Hafencity and the Elbe are echoed in the ceiling waves and stylish ambience. Fancy a drink before heading to the restaurant? "Salted Caramel Macadamia Mojito" plays with the flavours, "Grannys Garden" tastes of fresh cucumber and basil, "Hot Altos" scores with grapefruit soda with tequila reposado, agave and chilli.
A dream view of the Outer Alster and the city that inspires the bar crew to top performances. Sophisticated drinks such as "Summer of 1800" with tequila and watermelon cordial, "Lavande de Poire" with lavender, pear and vanilla or how about a "Heritage Cloud" with gin and vanilla yoghurt? Very popular after-work events.
The Mash blends premium steakhouse flair with an exquisite wine list that shines with rarities from all over the world and a focus on North America. At the bar, signature drinks such as the "Mash Margarita" with homemade eucalyptus cordial - also a spicy delight - or an "Old Fashioned" with maple cordial and double bitters are tempting.
Between waving cats and Japanese tradition, the bar shines with Asian fusion cuisine. The "Yoshino" with vermouth, jasmine, yuzu and crémant is flint, while the "Nigori Ranger" sour with two sakes, lucuma and almond is exciting. Full-fruity hibiscus coolers, dragon fruit lemonade and savoury gingerberry provide variety.
Beer and schnapps in a double pack: there is a choice of ten men's drinks - classic with pilsner and caraway, surprising with chocolate porter and cocoa schnapps "Drunk by Chocolate" or fruit beer and Cocchi Vermouth as "You're too sweet to be true". Served with a snack in the cosy bar, which used to be a bakery.
