We walked in and 2 minutes later we were asked to leave. I am deeply ashamed that this kind of discrimination is still happening in Germany!!! A complaint letter to the management will be send. My friends and I will never go back to this night club and we will make sure to let others know as well. Shame on you!!!

Grünspan is yet another of the amazing concert venues in Hamburg. I find it hard to understand how…read moreI managed to not come here for my first two years in the city, but recently I came to see Grizzly Bear. Great band, great venue. The balcony area is a good choice if it gets packed downstairs or if you're with a short person... One warning - it took me about 20 minutes to get my coat back - if you're going upstairs, keep it with you and put it on the balcony or one of the tables, save yourself EUR1 and 20 minutes.

The Markthalle is a bit of a Hamburg metal mecca. If a metal band has been to Hamburg, they've…read morealmost certainly played the Markthalle. It's a mid-sized venue, which (I assume) holds a few thousand people. There's no seating, thankfully, but around the stage the standing area is tiered by quite high steps, meaning that even the smallest person will have a good chance of beign able to see the stage. Tip: The beer is reasonably priced (for a concert venue) at EUR3, but you can easily bring that price down by picking up a few cups which all have a EUR1 deposit, which metallers don't seem to care about so much. Without trying to find any cups, or even moving from my spot, I brought the beer price down to EUR2 per beer :)

Great gig venue just near the Hauptbahnhof in the centre of Hamburg. It's usually metal-focused, so…read morereading the posters with the names of all the upcoming acts is amusing to say the least. If Skelton Warfare or diediedie are your cup of team (I just made those names up), then here's your place. We were here to see the Black Rebel Motorcycle club, and even if you are really short, you can still see them, because it's all tiered standing down to the stage. Great sound quality, good service at the bar, and it's a free sauna too!

Came here on a Friday, while also visiting the reggae spot, SoulEdge, right across the street…read more Really cool spot! It's 10 euro entrance and 1 euro for coatcheck. The first room had reggae/dancehall and a bit of hip hop. The second room had, what I think is called, Drum and Bass - it was a mixture of electro/dub/reggae and sounded awesome. I'm really not a fan of cigarette smoke in clubs, but it seems like a necessary evil in Germany. Lots of fun here :-)

Going to a Russian night held at this club has been undoubtedly the best night out I've had in This…read moreCountry so far!! On a not-so-special street under the train line bridge and down a narrow poorly lit alley we found the entry for this place. Entry is 5 Euros, which is the first time I've had to part with money to enter a venue but entry fees were soon to be long forgotten once you entered the thick of the club. The atmosphere is ecstatic and it's obvious everyone here is out to party and have a good time, the music is an almost frantic Russian folk...I'm unsure of even how to describe it... Hilarious...the sort of music you only really jump around and thrash to...really different from your usual club music fare but really good non the less... ...and everyone was doing it. Beers are Russian and huge!!! Long big brown bottles of the stuff for only 2 euros apiece and with a 50cent return if you brought the bottle back to the bar with your next order. Behind the DJ box was a large projector screen playing black and white images or Russian, people, history and art...flicker across the screen along with the music. It gets really hot in here without air conditioning so pretty much every 1/2 an hr or so we all went to stand outside and cool off...luckily so did most of the smokers...so I found this place didn't get as smokey as some of the places I've been too. The only criticisms would be it was also the first time I had to queue for the bathroom... whether it's just that Russian girls take forever primping or the fact that there were only two toilets in the ladies... the line can take up to 15 Min's till you reach the front....luckily even in the early hours of the evening nobody was puking at least everyone in the club could handle their alcohol that's for sure :-) Highly recommend it !!! especially if you have your very own Ruski along in the group to order in Russian like we did :-)
