In the location's words:

The Lotta is a music pub with a bright red design. Kind of quaint, but still very hip, because the best of punk, ska, hip hop and indie is played here.

The pub started in 1995 as an Antifa meeting place, at that time still in a small pub in Achterstrasse. It is named after the Lotta Continua, an extra-parliamentary group of the Italian left that was active at the time of the student movement. 24 years later, there is no Kölsch for Nazis here, FC & St.Pauli games on beamer and TV, foosball tournaments, concerts and many, many parties.
