The Ufer Restaurant Weinbar is the perfect place to spend an evening with friends over delicious meals and wine. Some of the dishes listed on the menu are bacon-wrapped prunes, small soused herring tartar, Tarte Flambée, and Chanterelle risotto which can be complemented with a glass of wine from their large collection. While pleasing your appetite you can also enjoy the live music hosted at the restaurant performed by local artists.
A popular watering hole among the locals, Klimperkiste stands out from others due to its intimate character reminiscent of olden days. Serving chilled mugs of beer on the crude tables, it is mostly packed with people wooed by the air of simplicity that it exudes. There are slot machines and a grand piano that adds to the country-like feel of the pub- another factor that is quite uncommon among its peers.
This, the smallest bar on Kiez, is always packed. Admittedly, it holds but a handful of people and on weekend and during the summer months the crowd can get so large that the pub takes over the whole pavement outside. The name (meaning 'house of cure') might not be taken too literally at night, but on sunny afternoons it is a great place for a cup of coffee and is the perfect antidote for work stress. To keep the decor interesting, the room is regularly redesigned and given a new lick of paint.
Birdland is one of the most renowned jazz clubs in town. Located in the neighborhood of Eimsbüttel, it is renowned for the performances it stages by many well-known artists. The Birdland crew is open to many musical styles, from swing to the mainstream. There can be a bebop combo on the programme one night, and a Latin or hard-bop band the next. Make sure you don't miss the popular regular jam and vocal sessions. Admission depends on the artist but is always moderately priced.
Located within the charming Hotel Louis C. Jacob, this bar is a haven for the oenophile. It is akin to a cave filled with an extensive array of wines sourced from some of the major wine producing regions in and around Germany. Traditional German food makes for the perfect accompaniment for these local wines; and, augmenting the dining experience at Kleines Jacob Weinwirtschaft, they regularly organize wine pairing meals. Maintaining a rustic charm, this wine bar is beautifully furnished in dark wood.
Located in the heart of Hamburg, Tschebull brings to the city delicious Austrian preparations. A brainchild of acclaimed chef, Alexander Tschebull, and his spouse, Yvonne, this restaurant offers a creative take on traditional Austrian recipes. An international flair has been blended into the classic wiener schnitzel, Salzburg dumpling, and pancake. Like the food, the ambiance exudes a contemporary vibe too. The restaurant is a spacious, elegant space, while the basil (akin to a bistro) is more casual and intimate. The open bar and the wine lounge are great places to enjoy a libation.
