Party

Reeperbahn and St. Pauli

Hamburg's famous nightlife mile. Bars, clubs and live music every night.

Hamburger Berg

Side street off the Reeperbahn packed with cheap bars.

Sternschanze

Bars and outdoor drinks around Schulterblatt. More relaxed than the Reeperbahn.

Molotow

Indie club at Reeperbahn 136. Concerts and club nights.

Uebel & Gefährlich

Club inside an old World War II bunker at Heiligengeistfeld.

Good to know

  • Keep an eye on your phone and wallet on the Reeperbahn on weekends.
