Whiskyplaza & Altstadt Restaurant am Fleet

Ok, there are a lot of wonderful restaurants in Hamburg. In fact there a lot of great restaurants all Over the world. However, every few years one is lucky enough to find a magnificent place that you cannot stop going back to. Whisky plaza is anchored in an impressive collection of whiskeys that cover the long wall. It is not just the selection but the rarity of some bottles they have added to the masterful skill Of their bartenders and staff that makes the place magical. The journey only starts with the drinks. The chef brings out a menu that is nothing short of magical. Every bite is deep and layered. A feast to all senses. After our diner yesterday, we had to swing by for a late night drink today (and yes, they are open till 1 am). Tomorrow, we are inviting family over to celebrate the new bride in the family. It was such a treat to find the place. Vorina only made it the more special. Thank you.

I visited Whiskyplaza Bar early in the afternoon to explore their whisky selection, which was truly magnificent. The bar boasts more than a thousand different whiskeys, all organized beautifully. It was one of the most impressive selections I’ve ever seen in a bar. The barlady was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and eager to help, guiding me through a few different drams. I also tried some dishes from their lunch menu, including the asparagus with sirloin steak and the cured salmon on a waffle. While the food was good, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it as a lunch spot. However, it’s an outstanding destination for whiskey enthusiasts and whiskey tastings.

Hands down the best whisky bar in thr world. Not sure why it only got a 4.4 rating here, but this bar has everything a whisky lover would look for: Drinks: - Over 1000 whisky available for selection - some of them are exclusive bottling only for his bar. - Single malt based cocktails. - All whisky tasting goes with sea salt dark chocolates and water. - Free popcorns with powders of paprika, black pepper and cumin - these pair extremely well with the smoky whisky. Food: All dishes that they have on the menu pair extremely well with whisky too, in particular: - whisky rhubarb cake has a fresh and unique taste. - the coffee / espresso based dessert is one of the best desserts I have ever tried. Service: - the staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable, speaks very good English explaining everything in detail Environment: - it is a quiet bar with background music at the right volume (not too loud) and the seats are very comfortable I only had 2 days in Hamburg and am grateful to have spent an evening there. It is one of those can't miss restaurants / bars and I will definitely be back whenever I visit Hamburg in the future!

A place every whisky lover should absolutely AVOID. Upon entering, a rude female staff member insisted on telling us where to sit—even though the place was completely empty. She then told us we were not allowed to look at the whisky menu on the chair and proceeded to snatch it away from me without asking. When I decided to leave and pay the bill, she called me a “f*ck*ng idiot.” After checking recent reviews, I realized I’m not the only one who’s been treated this way. This woman is arrogant, aggressive, and completely unfit to interact with customers. This isn’t a bar for whisky lovers—it’s a place for disrespect, ego, and verbal abuse. Do yourself a favor and stay far away. Total waste of time, money, and nerves.

Loved this place. The drinks were amazing and the food was too. Just a heads up, the menu changes from their dinner menu yo their late night menu at 9:30pm. We were there for the night menu and it was still delicious and the serving size was good. I would come back here and recommend it to others.

My boyfriend is super fan of whiskey and it’s the very first time that he’s happy with a bar here in Germany!!!! Thanks with my whole heart to Till, he was super helpful and you can tell that he loves his job. I still want my Bacardi :))

We had dinner and drinks here, came specifically to taste some great whisk(e)ys that are hard to find and was not disappointed! They have about 200 pages in the whiskey book, with around an impressive number of 1100 uisge beatha, mostly from Scotland, but there is also a good variety of Japanese, Irish and American whiskeys. There's a pretty good selection of bottles from closed distilleries and independent bottlers too! The staff was very friendly and welcoming and also very helpful! Not sure about other foods, but the venison was delicious!

This is the best bar I visited so far! It’s located in one of the oldest buildings of Hamburg. Windows of the pub look right on to the canal (Fleet). Their Whiskey selection is just awesome and the Whisky menu has the size of an encyclopedia wrt to pages and details 😃 You can order each Whisky individually or get a sampler of five typical brands for each region. It’s like private tasting. You can sit inside the pub or in a cozy semi-outside lounge where you can smoke - a good cigar or pipe goes very well with whisky.
