Cool bar in between St. Pauli and the Schanze. They sell Pilsner Urquell pretty cheap and have a…read morecool open mic night, which is what I was there for. The only drawback with this place is that it's a little bit isolated.

I think superchristine sums it up really. It is a great place for mid-30's single smokers who like…read moreto grind! It's not a great place (esp. upstairs) if you don't smoke, because you won't be able to enter without breathing equipment, and I don't even mind smoking! On a par with mutter there. On the plus side, it does have a nice BBQ and beer garden out back, and it's a bit off the beaten track, still, I don't really go here anymore.

Ahhh... the Reeperbanh is just a crazy party place in itself and this was the first place on the…read morefirst night I arrived in Hamburg. It was a Thurs night and apparently it was college night. There was a crowd at the door but it was definitely moving, but slowly. When I got to the front I gave the doorman my ID and he was like... "NO I can't accept this as a form of ID. Do you have papers?" I've NEVER had a problem with my CA driver's license EVER anywhere I've been and I knew he was just giving me a hard time. Luckily I was with German speaking people and one girl behind me in line stood up for me and argued with him and I was let in. I paid the 6EU entrance fee and 2EU coat check and was ready to party! Drinks were pretty cheap! 2 EU for shots, but my friend had already told me that coke and other backs were charged separately in Germany so I just had lots of shots. There were two dance floors- the main one is a pretty small one that you can step down into in front of the DJ booth. There were places to dance all around it and I saw both guys and girls dancing on the elevated areas. There were also plenty of tables all around this room. Overall-I would say the dance floor was small, but I thin it's considered pretty big for Germany. Downstairs, there are the bathrooms and the hip hop room. There's two separate bars down there and they were spinning hip hop all night. It was pretty good except for all that smoke... but hey, it's Europe and they smoke EVERYWHERE. Overall I had a pretty awesome time dancing the night away even though the night started off not so great.

I went in on Saturday with a friend in from Oslo and a local mate…read more I could not stand it - I am very confused at why my experience doesn't match the others here. The music was just awful - and when occasionally a good tune did come on it was immediately taken off within seconds with perverse DJ intent, straight back to the formulaic dreary re-runs of wedding disco classics. In fact, I love those DJs compared to Moondoo. The atmosphere was basic suburban corporate club - without the kookiness, interesting people and involving music. The drinks were average. The girl on the door was pretty. My Hamburg friend seemed to like it, but he's gay and was downstairs (marginally better music) cruising around. Somebody tell me where in Hamburg they play dance music that makes people happy, please?

You've gotta love a hair-dresser/bar/concert-venue/music-shop! I've been to some weird bars in…read moreHamburg (a half-pub, half-sweet shop springs to mind, as does the Turkish Irish pub shisha cafe), but I think Kamm In wins out for pure randomness. The family that run it are friendly, the beer is good, and they have live rock music in the basement every Wednesday - what's not to like? There's only two slightly negative things that I can say: - it's very smokey downstairs - the crowd (at least when I was there) is mostly aged 40+ Still, I'd say that this is a must see on the Hamburg live-music scene!

Well, seems that this hairdresser is really into guitars!!!! That would be your first thought at…read morethe entry. Basically it is like Hair saloon that turns into a bar in the evening. Stage is downstairs, so don't be surprised if you hear music, but don't find any sign of the band at the entry. Got our drinks in a bar (quite cheap, it was about 5EUR for a wine and a beer) and headed ourselves downstairs. There was some Jimi Hendrix cover band on the stage and full room of relaxed seniors.I definitely was the youngest person in there:) Not that it would make me feel bad. Wouldn't spend there the entire evening though, but it is a great place for one drink. Well, at least for the reason that you wont see bands that often in Hair saloon:D Thinking about having a haircut there. Seems from a german review, that you can have a music related chat while having a hair cut, which is kinda cool. Note to self: Every Wednesday live bands. Every first Friday of the month open stage for everyone.
