The Five-Point Weekend Escape Plan

Go Clubbing in Hamburg











3. What to Do


The restaurants that frame Hamburg's scenic canals.  

Thirtysomething partiers now eschew the hard-core clubs that line the Reeperbahn and opt for these restaurant-lounge combos. Start at Bereuther a classy bi-level canal-side spot in leafy Eppendorf. Relax on street-level banquettes, or nosh on specialties like New Zealand mussels in the downstairs restaurant. Next, make your way to Die Welt ist schön, a triple-tiered townhouse in the pulsating Schanzenviertel quarter, where D.J.'s spin a soothing mix of house. The city's usually buttoned-up execs reserve tables at arch-modern Golden Cut where the tunes are chill and the cuisine Pan-Asian. The trendy favorite, however, is the harborfront River-Kasematten an outré bolt-hole where you can relax on boxy suede banquettes or sway to the sounds of R&B.
