Christiansen's

Christiansen's has a reputation of one of the best cocktail bars in Hamburg, where bartenders take seriously (meaning participating and winning bartender competitions) mixing all sorts of concoctions.
So I thought it will be very trendy place, full of action, hot people, noise, bartenders shaking/mixing/stirring you've got the picture. But no, very quiet, cool, relaxing place. They have all sorts of drinks of course and the list of cocktails is unbelivable. On Monday you can get free massage, which I absolutely have to try next time!

Awesome place for super-competent cocktails including a few finds and specials. It is hidden away off the main Kiez strip in a residential block, and not a hip nor cool place. All the better!
The drinks are stiff and their quality undisputed. And you won't go wrong simply ordering your favorite drink here for a 'how it should always be' version of it.

This is not my first time to visit them, but a first on a weekend. The service is still very good & it all arrive on a timely manner inspite being full house. They have a nice selection of drinks for both alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinker. Definitely will go back !!

Superb establishment. Everything everyone has said is true, I realised as much after my own personal cocktail consultation on massage Mondays!


What do you like? What tastes, what spirits, what mood are you in? What's your favourite colour? What's your name, where'd you come from, how many. no wait.


I got recommended a Hendrick's crush, which contains crushed kumqats! What an invention, a fruit that no one had any use for before, apart from ornamental, of course. Anyway, it was delicious.


I've since been back and sampled the flammkuchen (also great) and watched the fish a lot. An impressive tank.


On Monday nights every customer gets a free massage too - slightly surreal, but great!

Pretty decent bar aside all the Reeperbahn turbulences.
Very friendly barkeeps which know their profession and will make sure you get the drink you want.

Fantastic and classy bar. Excellent whisky selection and not too crowded. Staff are very professional.

I had a great time here, the bartender knows his job. In the end he made me a Mojito with a Chocolate taste. That was Wonder full. When I'm back in Hamburg i will defintaly go back

This place is great. It's the only "real" bar in Hamburg where the bartendar probably knows more drinks than you. I used to tend bar so I am inclined to have a broad range in regards to drinks. The guys here blow me away with their knowledge. Great bartendars to "chat" with and talk alcohol. The vibe in the place is cool. Everyone is here because they know they are going to get the best drinks. Period! The fact that it's pretty classy in terms of the little details makes it that much better. I made the mistake last night of planning on going there after dinner for a drink with my girlfriend. Well, one drink became two and you know the rest of the story. Now I just need to figure out how best to get over there to go pick up my car. Tip: don't drive there for 1.) the obvious reason of thereafter not drinking and driving but, 2.) because there is no parking whatsover in the area.....it's all residential and you have to drive around quite a bit to find a "legal" spot for the car.


In summary, if you're looking for "hardcore" bartending and really quality drink, this is your place. It's a bit off the beaten track but it's always "on the way" somehow. Do your best to visit!
