Bars by the water

Hamburg is a treasure trove of bar gems. The Alsterperle on the eastern bank of the Alster is the counterpart to the Strandperle. Small snacks and sweet drinks cater for the physical well-being of guests. The Hamburg skyline can be marvelled at directly on the waterfront and the hustle and bustle on the Alster can be observed.

Here the name says it all. In the immediate vicinity of the harbour and the Elphi, the unique panoramic view creates a special feeling of freedom. The centrepiece of the bistro on the Elbe is the bar with its diverse selection of sophisticated cocktails, long drinks and wines. It doesn't get any more Hamburg than this!

With sand under your feet and gigantic harbour cranes in view, the end of the day at the Strandperle is perfect. When the setting sun is reflected in the Elbe and you toast with delicious drinks, you can't help but fall in love with Hamburg all over again. The cult bar Strandperle has become the centre of attraction on the Elbe beach in Övelgönne. No wonder, you simply have to feel at home in the Strandperle.

Old love never rusts. And this one certainly doesn't. Alte Liebe in HafenCity shines in the glow of modern furnishings and maritime flair. Right on the waterfront, the quaint café transforms into a trendy bar in the evening. Delicious food and cool drinks are served.

The Ratsherrn Bar combines a passion for beer and water. There are 43 of the brewery's own and international beer specialities. All can be enjoyed with a view of the Goldbek Canal.

Incidentally, the Ratsherrn Bar is the first bar of the brewery of the same name and is located on the lively Mühlenkamp in Winterhude.

Located in the middle of the maritime flair of Hamburg's harbour, at the last landing stage, you will find Brücke 10, where you can enjoy a beer or two after work with a view of the Elbe alongside lovingly prepared and always fresh fish sandwiches. You won't be spared the Koddersnuut, but if you like, you can also pick up some quick-witted banter in every imaginable language, such as English, Chinese or Hindi.

The Spanish Steps promise Spanish flair on the Outer Alster. The bar serves its guests fresh tapas and aperitifs to match. The unique view of the Alster makes the Mediterranean ambience perfect. Why travel far when the world is at your feet in Hamburg?

The AlsterCliff promises a holiday feeling. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the AlsterCliff on the banks of the Outer Alster invites you to take a relaxing break. The numerous sailing boats, canoeists and stand-up paddlers provide entertainment. Drinks and food are the perfect way to end the day in Hamburg style - right on the water.

Hard Rock Cafés can be found almost everywhere in the world, but the Hamburg edition stands out with its unique view of the Elbe. The flagship of the rock n roll world is enthroned on the Landungsbrücken. American flavours, selected cocktails and authentic live performances define a visit to the Hard Rock Café. The perfect place to go after a long day of sightseeing in Hamburg.

Somewhat hidden at the end of Grosse Elbstrasse, not far from the banks of the Elbe, the Hafenbahnhof offers a place to chat and have a beer. The quaint pub is a real "place to be" not only because of its fantastic location, but also because of its varied programme of live jazz music and changing DJs.
