Überquell Hamburg
Small brewery at the river's edge
In the so called "Riverkasematten" where sailors once used to store their things and which is the only historical building on this part of the street, you can now drink a freshly tapped beer from "Überquell" brewery whose tanks hold gems from IPA to seasonal beers.
I love this area which is just below the primary school where I used to have writing workshops with children. I can go there to grab a beer and pizza after work and enjoy the view over the river. The furniture is hand-made from palettes on the garden outside and they have a hefty number of sunflowers at the edges of the terrace which makes it a beautiful spot between the industrial charm of the place, its furniture outside. At the same time it's cozy as an urban gardening project.
Just one thing: take some money. This is not the cheapest place to grab a beer. But it would be a pity not to give it a try while the sun is shining, as is, well, the view...

The Walrus Bar
Treasure island
"The Walrus Bar" Hamburg won't become a museum - instead, it has a whole different, young cocktail culture. It seems like it's the city's hot Tinder point.
