In our words:

Right in the heart of Hamburg - with a view of the city hall - is THE institution of all! Le Lion should not be missing on any places-to-be list, because it hardly gets more classic. Here is the birthplace of the cocktail par excellence, it is impossible to imagine a cocktail menu without it: The Gin Basil Smash. It was created by owner Jörg Meyer, who is one of the most important personalities in the German bar scene. Cocktail expertise meets unique style with a feel-good ambience - Le Lion is truly a bar in a class of its own. A chat with the bartenders is also worthwhile, they can explain everything to you about mixology and are happy to advise you before they fulfill your cocktail wish.
