Bohemian atmosphere, arty-but-still-avant-guarde people and the artichoke as their signature food: La Carmagnole brought back some style to nearly out of fashion Schanzenviertel. Start with an aperitif – and the moules-frites are finger-licking!

Unexcited but traditional, Pastalozzi is a mix between your stuck in the 80s bar italia around the corner and a modern "We know where out ingredients come from" trattoria. And yes, they do: the keeper's family is running a vineyard in Tuscany, growing their own olives etc. Try the Quattro Staggioni!

Small Bar at St. Pauli's most popular street corner – it's so small you'll probably miss it. Consider it as a living room for Hamburgs hottest djs in electronic music (where they play experimental sets from time to time). Packed in warm Summer nights, even more in cold Winter nights. Smoker's place.

An old walk-down corner pub converted into one of St. Pauli's hipster hotspots. No worries though, the place is kind of immune to artsy-fartsy wannabes (i.e. the drinks are really lousy). Smoking permitted, stay with the shots!

What can you tell about the Pudel? It's the birth place of so many dj*anes. It's the cradle of Hamburg's counterculture. Punk meets Avantgarde meets Lo-Fi meets electronical masterclass. It's still the place to be in long summer nights. Every night (except Tuesdays). Thursdays are great. Watch out for Smallville events!
