Off to Germany next week for a couple of days "work".
Any suggestions as to where to go/drink in Hamburg, or more specifically, the Reepherbahn?

The area around the Alster is well worth a wander. Lots of nice cafes and bars around there.
And obvious point, but check to see whether St Pauli are at home while you're there. The Millerntor is just a short walk from the Reeperbahn.

Cheers. Have checked and we won't be able to catch a game. The hotel we are in is smack in between the Alster and the Reeperbahn, so handy for pretty much everything. |

It's Germany - so eat some sausages, drink some beer, and shag a lady with hair where British ladies don't have hair.

i went for the haye fight last year, the 36 minutes of boxing was shit but really enjoyed hamburg apart from that!!
Spent quite a bit of time in the st pauli area during the day and there is quite a big selection of bars in the Reeperbahn for the evening.

Whatever you do, grab a late night Hesburger on the Reeperbahn.
As Whits said, we found some excellent German bars in an area called Sternschanze (there is a tube station called this, to make it easy!)... bit less chav-tastic and it seemed cheaper. Reeperbahn will see to all your needs in the evening, Grosse Freiheit being a pretty decent street that runs off it.

I've never been but have been told that there are some very dodgy areas and characters in Hamburg. The same guy was telling me that drug dealers/users have "pet" rats that they try the heroin on before they buy it.

Well, I live here  There is indeed a few dodgy areas, but on the whole there is so much to do Bar tips, hm well it depends what you look for. There are traditional style pubs where a lot of english speakers end up, as well as Irish bars. As said Schanze is alternative, not so commercial as the Reeperbahn..but the best parties are mostly on the Reeperbahn. Anyway you can always send me a pm, and I'll do my best to make a few suggestions |
