Washington Bar Traditional Seamen's Pub

Dimmed lighting and smoky air: The Washington Bar on St. Pauli is reminiscent of a sailor's pub.

The Washington Bar invites you to dock at the long counter. It is one of the most legendary and oldest bars in Hamburg. The Austrian shanty singer Freddy Quinn was discovered here. Pictures on the wall remind of past days and the heyday of seafaring romance. The Washington Bar does not rest on its memories. Modern sounds invite you to dance and celebrate. The Washington Bar is a meeting place for everyone. It was yesterday and will be tomorrow.
