M&V Bar
About this venue
M&V Bar (M&V Gaststätte) is a legendary, time-tested pillar of Hamburg’s queer history. Serving the St. Georg neighborhood since 1953, this iconic neighborhood spot playfully states it is open to everyone—"from sailors and frequent flyers to vamps, millionaires, regulars, and blind-daters". Moving away from the gritty chaos of St. Pauli, M&V delivers an authentic, upscale, yet exceptionally cozy traditional pub ambiance.
