Barley & Malt is an Irish pub in the center of Hamburg at the Deichstraße close to the building…read morewhere the great fire started in 1842. The street is very nice and it is possible to sit outside in the summer. The interior and the decoration are similar to most Irish pubs I have been to. The TV screens show football, rugby or cricket. The pub offers several snacks and small dishes. I only tried the Nachos which tasted good. To access the pub you need to go up some stairs.

This is a pretty big and nice Irish pub. You've got your typical Guinness and Magners but also…read moresurprisingly a large selection of craft beer. I had the 'Zweitel' and that was pretty damn good. This is a great place to hang out with others but as I came to watch the footie; they have 2 TVs on which they show games, it was a little disappointing with the music playing and no game sounds being heard hence the loss of a star. Great bar to hang but not super great to watch football in my opinion.

September. Greatness. This place has become THE pub to spend my weekends at in the last years…read more Well, before moving to Hamburg, that is. But this fine Pub has managed to drag me back to Lüneburg on almost every single weekend so far, so I guess it still counts. What is wrong with you? You live in Hamburg! Town of the cheap beer and neat parties! Why would you go to Lüneburg just for a pub all the time?, you ask? Well, I shall tell you. The September is just right. You can walk in there as a complete stranger and feel welcome almost immediately. You get to sit around in one of the most comfy smokers' areas there is. You are supplied by the friendliest waitresses (and waiters) I know of. And last but not least: You get to hang around 'till the pub closes - which is about never. Seriously, they stay opened LONG. If you're not convinced yet, I suggest you stay home. I rest my case.

The beer selection is mostly standard, but they do also have Duckstein which makes me favour the place even more. Credit for me finding the place must be given to my old German teacher, Schaida. Apparently it's been a favourite of hers since she was a student at Hamburg uni. I don't think it's changed much over the years.
