We were so happy to have come across this bar when we were looking for a place to have pre-theater…read moredrinks. It's such an imaginative concept; we wanted to order everything on the menu! They were also really helpful in explaining the menu and how you can get a chug (smaller size) if you don't want the full serving. We wanted to try everything. Our main comment and unfortunately it affected our experience a lot is that smoking is allowed inside. This is not uncommon for bars in this country but they could have provided a pleasant experience for everyone and not just some by not allowing smoking inside. We smelled like smoke and our drinks came with a side of ill health. Other than that, we loved this bar and maybe it won't be raining next time so we can sit outside (where people still smoke but the smoke has somewhere to go).

Super Duper bar ! I stayed in Hamburg for 2 nights and…read more...ended up there twice :D In the speakeasy style, you'll find amazing tequila-based cocktails made by the blond girl who's probably one of the best bartender I met so far. Genuine atmosphere, a bit dark, just what's needed, with cool music and people. I tried their special menu which basically is a 6-course cocktail tasting (no worries, they all come into the "Chug" size glass;)) through which you'll discover their signature recipes. Pretty cool stuff, I recommend it for sure. Prices are very ok and staff is super friendly! I loved it and will go back next time I'm in the city !

Service is excellent at Le Lion. It's a speakeasy so you do need to ring and be let in. I went…read moreearlier on a Saturday evening so it wasn't packed yet. I have also been very late (post-theater) on a Saturday evening and we never made it inside; we had to sit outside. The decor is subtle and classy. Le Lion is the cradle of the gin basil smash (I had never heard of it until I came here but it seems to be a Hamburg thing). You do pay a premium for the drink but it's the original and it's also a good drink. In conclusion: Come early to get inside for the full speakeasy experience. Come late and understand if you have to sit outside. Don't miss the gin basil smash; they invented it.

The view is of course amazing and even enjoyable in bad weather. I can really recommend it as a finish to a sight-seeing tour around harbour

Quick with delivering out cocktails we were also able to find some table space. All this in the run up to Christmas, cold night and in a reasonably packed bar. Dimmed lighting and music providing fun atmosphere. Friendly staff and people. Towards the end of the night, we even had table service a plus for me. Gotta love table service in a bar!! The only downside to this bar was the ability to smoke inside. Not a fan of smoking and not used to smoking inside for a while now, this was a shock to the system, my clothes, hair and lungs. This, for me was the only down side to this bar. Although, would come again. :)
