Traveler reviews
Lisa Neubert
★★★★★8 years agoA small, neat bar with polite staff, a nice audience and different program throughout the month. You may watch soccer games or just sit together and drink.

★★★★★4 years agoIt was my last day in Hamburg and I was on my way to the airport and decided to sit in this place and have a last coffee. They had a concert that night and the coffee shop was not open, but when they noticed I’m a passenger, they opened the kitchen and made a coffee for me. It meant a lot to me! Highly recommended place not only for the nice outdoor area but also for very kind stuff.
