StrandPauli

One of the nicest places in Hamburg to spend a pleasant time. You can enjoy food and drinks while looking at the harbor view. In winter, there is an outdoor fire pit, and you can have mulled wine or beer by the fire, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is unique and cozy, and I definitely recommend it.

If you’re looking for a place to relax by the water, StrandPauli is a great choice. Deck chairs, umbrellas, sand, and a pleasant view make it perfect for unwinding. The drinks are good, and the atmosphere is friendly and laid-back – you really feel like you’re ‘on the beach’ even though you’re in the city. The only downside is that parking is a bit tricky.

Saturday in the sunshine around midday you’re either very lucky or just forget it and go elsewhere because this place is buzzing. Either you have a seat or you don’t it’s that easy maybe during the week it’s better maybe there’s too many people in Hamburg whatever there’s some sand for a beachy feeling and there’s a lot of choice for snack style food, drinks are good even a bit pricey but that’s the price you pay for a hip location

Overall as a scottish lad it was great, the bartender caro (or carol) was lovely. Between the perfect mai thai and service she was perfect. The bar snack of nachos hit the spot and the whole bar theme / atmosphere like the scoobie doo zombie island movie was on point. Will come again due to brilliant service!

Gorgeous relaxing beach bar. Perfect place to sit in the sun and drink the local beer - Astra! Can get very busy at peak times and be difficult to find a table or chair but don't let this put you off visiting.

Very pleasant place on the banks of the Elbe near the Fish Market. Both indoor and terrace areas are available.

Nice beach bar- always buzzing and with nice homemade drinks and cocktails, prices are average for Hamburg (not too high) and they don't allow drunken crowds like JGA / stag nights. Enjoy a sunset view to the harbour.

Visited twice in a few days, once for a delicious brunch and again for a few drinks in the evening. It has a very chilled atmosphere and the service is excellent. I expect the outside seating area and bar are great on a summer day

Oh, Hamburg. People tout you as a place for business which may equal boring, but I don't think so. Strand Pauli is proof of nights that you only dream about in your summer fantasies. Strandpauli is also proof that Germans LOVE their beach bars. It is here where the beach scene is created and lived over and over again: sand at your feet, a bonfire to keep you warm at night, refreshing summery drinks (caipirinha? mojito? you got it) and lots of outdoor seating so you can appreciate the views of the harbor. Cocktail prices hover around €6.50 per long drink or for a short glass of Sapphire & Tonic. Good times, bro.

This is one of the numerous beach bars in Hamburg and one of my favourites. Yes, beach bars are a thing in Hamburg. We have the water, but no sand to go with it, so we pile it high by the harbour, throw in some beach chairs and recliners, a collection of chairs and benches, some palm trees and of course outdoor heating! Wooden structures usually serve as large bars and most beach bars, including this one, serve a small selection of food as well. Though the real reason to come here is to stick your feet in the sand and slurp a cocktail or two. Many Hamburgers like to come to these bars after work to chill out a bit in the spring and summer. You can watch the industry harbour from here, which is a nice offset for the kitsch tropical decor of Strand Pauli. It's a brilliant place to grab a nice drink after a long day, though it does get crowded at times. As long as you can grab some comfy seating, just sit back and enjoy!

StrandPauli is a nice place, really well located. You can chill on the deckchairs resting on the sand and enjoy the cocktails. They offer free glasses of water which is a big plus for me, as many places don't want to, even if it is tap water.

Imagine being the coldest you've ever been, yet happily chilling at a lovely beach bar sipping on a super delicious Pimm's cocktail and eating what appears to be one of the only 3 vegetarian items on the menu. Are you imagining this? It is amazing. Fun decor, great people, interesting bathrooms, and a really great casual vibe. Come for the drinks and the great view. Eat something so you don't get totally wasted. Drink some more and then vow to return. Rinse and repeat.

We went here to get a nice lunch and it was quite of a disappointment. The pizza crust was definitely made from factory and the topping didn't taste fresh. We also got a oven baked potato with sallad and chicken and it was barely warm. I bet this is a great place to get drinks, based on other reviews, but DO NOT com here for the food - you'll regret it!

StrandPauli has a great location at the Hamburg harbour. Its a great place to hang out in the beach chairs enjoying the sun. The service was unfortunately a bit slow especially compared to the amount og people. And it would be nice with some heating lamps and blankets for sundown. Prices were reasonable. I'll be back!!

Great place. Nice view to the B+V docks, good variety of drinks, nice food. Stinky toilets.

Being relatively new in Hamburg (living here since about eight months), my girldfriend and me went there last Sunday for the first time. At the door my girlfriend had to show the contents of her bag because they wanted to make sure we don't bring any bottles with us. I don't think this is necessary, but hey, it's their club and we had to play by their rules. We were quite lucky finding two seats on a Sunday afternoon and had a fantastic look on the river. I ordered two Astra Alsterwasser at the bar (self-service only) and paid 2,70 EUR each. This definitively is too expensive for this local drink and was the reason we didn't stay for another drink. However, the decoration at this beach club is indeed very stylish (the car grill as a bbq grill is awesome! :) ) and I would suggest to go there at least once to see it.

If you come to Hamburg on Sunday morning you will visit the Fischmarkt. You have to be there very early and after a walk and bargaining with different Fischmarkt-sellers, you will need a place to chill. If you follow the way from Fischmarkt to St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken, you pass Strand Pauli (that means Beach Pauli. And if it is summer and if the sun shines, you can sit on sofas or beachchairs or even lie on a queensize bed, drink Cocktails or have a breakfast, or snacks like Hamburger. The prices are a little bit higher than in a Pub - but when you see, that you have a beach in the harbour and can watch the ships passing by (as we saw the Sadov today) it is worth the money. We paid 10 Euros for 3 very well served non alcoholic drinks.

Sorry fellas, but it's NOT like being on the real beach: so damn packed you can't even strech your legs and the view is non-existent due to the monstrous Blohm&Voss shipyard with all the noise from welding and construction (is it another yacht of Abramovich?) Well, actually it's not that bad, better than infierno of the cement and glass in the city on a hot summer day. They have cocktails, they have beer, they have sand - but that's about it.

Are there any beach clubs in the UK? By way of explanation, a beach club is an outdoor bar with a layer of sand across the floor to make it like a beach. Most of these bars are next to rivers or lakes, but not always. Anyway Strand Pauli is the most permanent and generally the closest beach club to the Reeperbahn. The pluses are that the atmosphere is always cool, the seating is good and the view is interesting (so long as you like shipping). The main minus is that the sand is dirty and full of cigarette butts. The beer is kinda expensive, but cheaper than the other beach clubs.

Bleeuggh. I was clearly here, since my phone checked me in and I have photos to prove it. However having followed the crowds down at 5.30 am following all night Chelsea-beating-Bayern revelry I don't remember much about it! What I DO remember though was Queen Mary 2 gliding by at 6am plus being saved by about a pint of hot cappuccino poured into me an hour later. So many people there for the Fischmarket thousands were there even at sunrise on Sunday!

You really feel like you are on the beach. Wonderful but it remembers a bit on a package tour. Over all the prices. Too expensive. And going to the toilet costs extra. But the excuse is good: The view, the sand.. the summerfeeling.

This is a great place to go to relax and have couple of cocktails in summer. It really shines when the weather is great and you can take of your shoes. It's a bit crowded so you may have to wait till you get a place to crash. Mojitos they make are awesome!

Food and drinks are small and we encountered the RUDEST waitress on the planet. Don't waste your time or money

Great place to enjoy the view. They have good burger and their diabolo pizza is also not bad. If you came late, make sure you can find a good place. Because the beach outside is windy and cold at night, while if you stay too close to the stage inside will make the music too loud to enjoy.

Suntan o'clock! It really is kind of like being on a real beach, except you've just walked from your house and you can't actually jump in the Elbe, just see it. A relaxed vibe, decent seating/cushions if you get in early, and a nice bar that will even serve Weissbier with a straw - totally tropical. My only gripe would be the amount of cigarette butts in the sand. So no 5th star. Still - something very different and cool to show off to your English friends!

Wow, what a great place! I headed straight here the first time I was in Hamburg when it actually didn't rain! Walking up through the hustle and bustle of the riverside past the harbour, I really wasn't sure what to expect, and was pleased to find this place with a nice level of busy-ness (i.e. plenty of different seating options and not vast queues to the bar, but still a good vibe and lots of people from all age ranges). The imported sand is soft, although it could have been cleaner. The music is funky-chill-out - something I'd hate normally but seemed to fit the place well. I didn't eat but the food (pizzas, burgers, salads) looked fresh and big portions. A perfect way to spend a hot and lazy afternoon in Hamburg, watching the big ships sail past and catching up with friends.

Had a day in Hamburg and a friend brought us here. Did not like it that I had to give up my bottled water at the door... did they think I'l not order a drink and just sip my water in there?! Once in, the place was great. Feel like I was on a sandy beach bar somewhere else in the world. Then the rain come down like crazy & everyone squeezed into the covered bar area...dancing to the music. So much fun, very memorable! Highly recommend it !

I came here with a group of 12 last weekend for my friend's going away dinner and drinks celebration. The location, weather and atmosphere were all lovely. After living in Hamburg for seven months, it was a revelation the city had such a lovely spot. It was very crowded, so there was a long wait to get my Falafel burger. Unfortunately, it was expensive (10 Euro), was accompanied by literally 5 potato wedges and it costs about 10 Euro. Similarly the cocktails were expensive and very watery. The group I was with had similar experiences. So skip the food and get a beer instead

The best location - combine the industrial-habour-romantic with a Caribbean island atmosphere and you got it... It is a unique location and a unique concept - you can't help getting happy, despite the food is pretty flat ( but take the burger with rocket and parmesan it's special but nice) and the crew seems like people getting the same pay as you would expect on a far Caribbean island.... But they serve massive cocktails that will make your mule kick. A must do in Hamburg at summer.
