Best Things To Do In Hamburg At Night

Edited by Jess Wright

When asked the question what is Hamburg famous for, I have two answers; the first being that Hamburg is simply overflowing with breathtaking bodies of water – rivers, canals, and lakes, so magical and reminiscent of my childhood in Albania. The second answer? A nightlife to rival any in the world. And that’s not just my opinion either; Hamburg’s nightlife was voted best in the world by a recent survey that asked participants to vote according to affordability, local friendliness, safety, and fun factor! It’s easy to see why Hamburg is an easy winner, having all of this in abundance. What love most about the nightlife in Hamburg is the absolutely magical atmosphere! There are so many amazing things to do in Hamburg at night but I’m going to share only the best with you in this Hamburg nightlife guide. If wondering what to do in Hamburg in one day, make sure you take some time out for a nap, because tonight I’m taking you out on the town!

St. Pauli neighborhood

St. Pauli neighborhood

My first experiences of Hamburg nightlife, and now firmly one of my favourite things to do in Hamburg at night, is a night out in St. Pauli, Hamburg. This neighbourhood promises a good time to people from all walks of life – it’s not uncommon to see people in their 60s dancing in the clubs and having a fantastic time. Forming the heart and soul of Hamburg’s nightlife scene, St Pauli is famous as the Hamburg red light and party district, home to the infamous Hamburg Reeperbahn, nicknamed “die sündigste Meile” (the most sinful mile) for obvious reasons. Scattered between an eclectic mix of underground clubs, upscale cocktail lounges and affordable bars are a variety of strip clubs, sex shops, and even brothels – and most of these venues are open till dawn. With the erotic art museum nearby, you have all the ingredients necessary for sin city. Don’t be alarmed if you’re seeking a more vanilla night out; it’s not all x-rated! The streets of St. Pauli are lined with some of the best bars in Hamburg, as well as restaurants, nightclubs and discotheques. All considered, it’s the perfect example of nightlife in Hamburg, and the scene of spectacular debauchery for many a soul, from 15th century sailors to the Beatles. This vivacious neighbourhood has so much to offer I would consider letting a local show you to some of the best spots in St. Pauli at night.

Zum Silbersack

Zum Silbersack

Perhaps not in every Hamburg nightlife guide, Zum Silbersack offers a worthy party – only, the student edition. This cheap student haunt is rowdy and packed to the wooden, tavern-like rafters with a cult following that has put this establishment on the map as a Reeperbahn legend, delivering cheap drinks and air-guitar ballads since 1949. If a no-frills, roll-your-sleeves-up, gritty sort of night out is what you're after then this is the spot, full with smoky atmosphere and sticky floors. Here you’re in for a serving of hearty carousing, loud and passionate singing-along, boisterous banter and of course numerous shooters washed down with Astra beer.

Le Lion

A far cry from humble Zum Silbersack, Le Lion offers a far more sophisticated experience. A stylish cocktail bar with a view over Hamburg, this elegant venue which is known across Germany is decorated in a manner reminiscent of bars in the fancy hotel lobbies portrayed in Hollywood films. Poised on a velvety stool across from luxurious wallpaper behind the low-lit bar, you’ll wish you were wearing a pencil skirt and heels or maybe a suit, sipping an Old Fashioned, but don’t be intimidated – though the bar exudes luxury, the atmosphere is informal and the clientele a mixed hat. Step in for a classy cocktail or two, served with an air of luxury and personal attention.

Große Freiheit 36

Große Freiheit 36

No good night out is complete without music to tap your toes to, and for live music Große Freiheit 36 is legendary. Famously one of the stop on the Beatles’ debaucherous exploration of Hamburg, and the venue of one of their very first gigs, before they achieved stardom! With the capacity to take an audience of 1500 enthusiastic music-lovers, this venue has hosted famous musicians across all genres ranging from pop, rock, metal, hip hop, funk and even salsa. Lit on the outside by a smorgasbord of retro neon, it’s impossible to miss and you’ll find yourself intoxicated by the energy before even stepping foot inside!

Prinzenbar

A versatile music venue, Prinzenbar is another prime spot to get you shaking your hips ‘til the small hours. While electronic and house DJs rule the roost in this baroque-style bar, it also offers live music across a variety of genres including indie, funk, reggae, and hip-hop. The striking combination of baroque-inspired chandeliers and cherubs with dramatic red lighting and gothic detailing make will make you feel as though you’ve stepped into an Anne Rice novel, and combined with spine-tingling DJ sets you might just party as though you were immortal in this memorable venue.

Sternschanze

Sternschanze

Sternschanze, though only a short walk from the Reeperbahn, offers a distinctly alternative vibe with leftist tendencies and an almost electric atmosphere that in warmer weather spills onto the streets with jovial drinking and dancing party-goers. Perhaps one of the best examples of this quirky and somewhat strange area is the Rote Flora musical theatre; home to squatters of all ages for almost 30 years. Initially the squatters moved in as part of a political protest and, once victorious, simply never left. A walk between the two districts will lead you to many golden finds including Goldfischglas, a retro bar with diverse clientele and the funky Le Fonque. If you choose to boogie all night long be sure to stop in at Kulturhaus 73 and Uebel & Gefährlich, a former WWII bunker. For some serious off-the-beaten-track action head under the Sternbrücke bridge where you’ll find underground clubs such as Fundbureau, the Astra Stube, and the Waagenbau.

Kulturhaus 73

Kulturhaus 73

Truly living up to a motto that promises ‘prime variety’, Kulturhaus 73 is a venue so dynamic in its offering that you could stay from day to night. Not much to look at from the outside, a world awaits within this cultural center that combines café, bar, club, and cinema. This flexible spot is perfect to catch a live football broadcast on the big screen or a craft beer with friends. More lively among things to do include attending a music concert in the grand hall or a DJ set in the basement and you can rest assured that this is far from touristy; in fact, weekly visits to this vibrant venue have become ritual for many of the local residents.

Le Fonque

Another must on the list of any muso, Le Fonque states its claim to fame as “excellent music”, though one could argue that liberal use of the color red could certainly be another. The intimate red-lit bar, behind an equally red façade, does indeed offer an excellent selection of music, adhering to a strict “vinyl only” policy when playing the wide variety of funk, soul, boogie, disco, and jazz. The very red bar makes for a cozy setting frequented by a local crowd and offers affordably priced fare.

Zoë II Sofabar

Zoë II Sofabar

It might seem a strange theme to base your bar on, but Zoë II’s comfy selection of lived-in sofas and shabby-chic decor of the romantic era make for a picturesque setting, ideal for Insta snaps. By day it offers a serene cup of coffee but comes to life at night when cocktails are the preferred beverage of choice. As the evening wears on the sofas fill up, and a trendy, lively vibe takes hold. Laid-back and charming, it promises a relaxed night out and Zoe III – right next door – is equally worth a visit, if only slightly less classical in appearance.

Take in the sights of the harbor

Take in the sights of the harbor

Of course, we’re not all party animals and a milder night might be on the menu for you. In that case, why not start off the evening with a peaceful dinner at the harbour. The harbour is one of my favourite places to visit in Hamburg, and an excellent place to find your bearings. It is also the spot where you will likely be catching most of your ferries whilst exploring the city. Offering beautiful views of the ships and dark lapping waters of the River Elbe, there is a wide selection of restaurants to choose from and makes for a good place to enjoy traditional Hamburg specialties like Fickenwerder Scholle, a fish dish widely available in Hamburg.

Speicherstadt

Speicherstadt

What better way to spend a romantic evening than on a boat, gently navigating the canals of this UNESCO world heritage site. Stop off for a stroll through the artfully lit alleys and canals, enjoy the aromas of roasting coffee and spice as you wind between warehouses that forms part of one of the largest trading posts in the world. You will be hard-pressed not to admire the ingenuity of the fleets – canals that work with the tides, filling and emptying to allow travel by ship. Traveling the narrow canals aboard a small barge, you’ll have the perfect vantage point to enjoy breathtaking architectural details, tactfully illuminated and shimmering in the reflection of the water below.

  • Rechargeable battery: The Nixy navigation lights come with a rechargeable battery, so you don’t need to keep buying batteries–which can be expensive over time.
  • Waterproof (not just water-resistant): I love that the lights are waterproof because with stand up paddle boarding they will of coursey get wet.
  • Super easy to attach: The process of attaching the Nixy lights to a stand up paddle board is pretty straightforward.
  • Full brightness drains the battery: The battery longevity isn’t the best – you can’t use the full brightness mode for long because the battery will run out. But if used sensibly you should have enough juice to last for a session.

2. Nocqua Spectrum Color Changing Lights

nocqua spectrum led lights

You can’t go wrong with the Nocqua Spectrum color changing lights . It is very popular in the SUP community—and for a good reason.

The light system includes adjustable straps for attaching to the board. The Nocqua has seven different colors and four sequence modes.

It is made in such a way that it doesn’t affect the movement of your board in the water.

The Nocqua can be used on all kinds of SUPs, canoes and kayaks—thanks to the adjustable straps.

The light system comes with one battery. It takes about 4 hours for it to be fully charged. You’ll get around three hours of use from a full charge. This may not be enough for paddlers who go on long adventures; especially because you can’t charge the light while it is in use.

The Nocqua light system package is all-inclusive. It comes with two 600-lumen light bars, durable travel case, Y connector, switch, battery, two extension straps and one adjustable harness.

  • Rechargeable battery: The Nocqua underwater lights have a rechargeable battery that takes about four hours to charge, so you won’t have to keep buying batteries.
  • Everything you need in the package: All the items you need to charge the light system and attach it to your paddle board are included in the package.
  • They work so well: I love how bright the Nocqua paddle board lights are and differ in colors. Also your paddle board still moves smoothly with them attached.
  • Short battery life: The batteries only last about three hours which is not ideal for long night trips; it might be a good idea to supplement with backup lights – or invest in a pair and keep them both charged!

3. PoHo SUP & Kayak LED Light System

sup light the night tour hamburg

The Northern Lights SUP LED light system comes with so many cool features. It is ideal for the adventurous paddler who values convenience. Find out why.

The two SUP lights are bright and multicolor. You can choose from 13 different colors or 5 multicolor modes. This adjustment is done using a remote control so it’s super easy.

The lamps are submersible and fully waterproof. You mount them under your SUP board. To prevent them from sinking, they have life jackets—pretty awesome, right?

This light system uses six AAA batteries. Since you won’t need to recharge, it can last for longer trips.

The kit comes with Silicone Grease, industrial strength Velcro, safety LED, two LED life jackets, remote control and, of course, the two LED lamps.

  • Remote control: PoHo paddle board LED lights have multiple color modes and options. You can adjust the lighting using a remote so you don’t have to kneel every time.
  • Completely waterproof: These submersible lamps are waterproof and they can’t get damaged by water.
  • Life jackets for the lamps: PoHo LED paddle board lights come with life jackets so they will not sink if they fall into the water.
  • AAA battery-powered: You need six AAA batteries to power the PoHo LED light system and they’re not included.

4. SurfStow SUPGLO SUP Underwater Light

sup light the night tour hamburg

You will need a reliable light system for those long night fishing trips. The SurfStow SUPGLO offers outstanding brightness for hours.

This underwater light is submersible 20 meters so you can use it confidently. It comes with heavy-duty suction cup mounts for attaching under the board. If you have a textured SUP, don’t worry. You will get a 3M self-adhesive landing pad.

The SurfStow floats and it is made using corrosion-resistant material. It only lights up in one color.

This SUP light runs on two AAA batteries. With new batteries, you can get 12 to 15 hours of use- which is pretty great.

Other than the light, you will get suction cup mounts and a self-adhesive landing pad. Unfortunately, batteries are not included.

  • Easy to attach: The SUPGLO features a heavy-duty suction cup and it comes with a self-adhesive landing pad for textured surfaces. You can attach it in seconds.
  • It floats: Losing your gear at the bottom of a lake or ocean is never fun, but that’s not something you have to worry about with the SurfStow SUPGLO because it floats.
  • Corrosion-resistant: This light is well-made and long-lasting. You can use it for all your night SUP adventures and it will not get easily corroded and damaged.
  • Waterproof: The SUPGLO light is completely waterproof, submersible 20 meters.
  • AAA battery powered: You’ll need to keep buying batteries since it doesn’t come with a rechargeable one. But you can get up to 15 hours out of new batteries which is ideal for longer trips (plus you can bring along more batteries if you need them)
  • It’s a single light: This comes as a single light and you may need to buy two, one for each side of the board for more brightness.

5. Torch SUP Paddle Lights

sup light the night tour hamburg

A SUP light doesn’t have to be mounted on your paddle board. This Torch paddle is another fun paddle board accessory and illuminates your surroundings perfectly.

The blade is chiseled for strength and channeled for the LED’s protection. The lights are only on one side so you can effectively light up your way. This also means that you won’t have to blind any kayakers or paddlers behind you.

The two-piece shaft is built using fiberglass.

The Torch SUP Paddle uses 8 AAA batteries. You will get about 40 hours of night paddling. This is more than enough.

Besides the torch paddle, nothing is exciting about the package.

  • Great lighting: This lit paddle is bright enough to illuminate your way but it doesn’t blind other water users, which I think is awesome.
  • Lightweight: The paddle feels lighter and is more efficient than an aluminum paddle. You can paddle longer distances without getting too tired.
  • Efficient battery use: You can get up to 40 hours out of the AAA batteries that this torch paddle runs on. That’s amazing – because you can go on several night tours without having to buy new batteries.
  • No rechargeable battery: This torch paddle uses eight AAA batteries and you have to keep replacing them.

6. Botepon SUP Navigation Lights

sup light the night tour hamburg

If you are looking for lights that will work on anything, try the Botepon navigation lights . Other than paddleboarding, you can use them for running, cycling, pets and much more.

It only lights up in one color, but you can choose what color that is. There is white, green, blue and red.

This navigation light system is bright, helping you see clearly over 600 meters. It comes with a double hook and a flexible silicon body for you to hang it wherever you want. You won’t need any tools.

The Botepon is powered by two CR2032 batteries. The mode of flash you will use determines how long the battery lasts. You’ll get 35 hours with steady lighting and 160 hours for the flashing modes. This is impressive.

You will receive two LED safety lights and two CR2032 batteries.

  • Amazing visibility: The Botepon navigation lights are fantastic when paddling at night and they allow you to clearly see about 600 meters.
  • Versatility: These are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts because you can use them for other activities, such as cycling and running, not just SUP.
  • Batteries are included: You don’t need to buy batteries separately–and they last a long time too!
  • Not waterproof: They can handle a little splash but you should be careful not to submerge them.

If you’re someone who paddles mostly in the daytime, you may wonder what’s the need for lights on your SUP? There are some of you though that like to paddle out after dark or in the early morning before the sun has even risen. SUP lights are your best friend in that case.

It can be kind of scary and unnerving to paddle out into a body of water without being able to see properly. It isn’t as if most lakes and such have overhead lighting, so all you can rely on is the stars and the moon to guide you. And it is highly unwise to use your phone light in case it gets knocked out of your hand.

So SUP lights are a good investment to ensure you can properly navigate and keep yourself on track without hitting anything. But what SUP lights are the best for you? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for exactly.

Let’s talk a little more in-depth.

Table of Contents

Under Vs. Over

There are plenty of reasons you might choose one over the other, but they both have their benefits. Some of the things to consider would be price, how much they actually light up, and if they are practical.

Pros of Under Board Lights

  • Increases Visibility on Surface Area
  • Spreads Light out in a Radius
  • Pretty and Enjoyable

Cons of Under Board Lights

  • Doesn’t Light Up Ahead of You
  • Limited Radius

Pros of Over Board Lights

  • Better for Navigation
  • Lights up the Area Ahead of You

Cons of Over Board Lights

  • Tend to be Smaller
  • Doesn’t Surround

Under Board Light Recommendations

There is plenty of fancy under the board light kits that cost a lot of money. They will change colors and likely cover a little more surface area than the traditional LEDs do. These can be a little impractical though as the price outweighs their usability.

If you’re looking for some good LED lights that will do the job and possibly even give you some color for a fraction of the price, we’ve got some recommendations for you.

Northern Lights Submersible LED Light System

Northern Lights Submersible LED Light System

The whole kit comes at a reasonable price, which is significantly cheaper than some other branded colored LED light systems.

These are easy to attach and easy to remove, and they are battery operated.

AMIR Submersible LED Lights

AMIR Submersible LED Lights

These are a cheaper alternative to the Northern Lights submersible lights above. Even for a cheap price, they manage to do as advertised. They light up in colors that can be controlled via remote and they are fully submersible and waterproof.

While they might not be the best quality, they certainly get the job done and they are fun to watch and enjoy.

Over Board Light Recommendation

While they may not be as whimsical as the under the board lights, these are more function than fashion. They provide a bright light that is easy to use for navigation so you don’t run the risk of hitting something that is right in front of you.

Kayalu WaterTorch 360 Kayak Light

Kayalu WaterTorch 360 Kayak Light

It is fully operable for 100 hours on 3 AA batteries and has an LED life of over 10,000 hours. This light might seem a bit steep for a single light but the battery life speaks for itself.

Other Thoughts

There are other light sources you can rig up for your paddleboard adventures , but it is highly recommended that you ensure they are waterproof and battery operated. It is best to know what your light situation is going to be like before you set out, so you don’t get caught out in the dark with no options. If you are worried your lights might lose battery while you’re out paddling, make sure to keep an extra set in your bag for emergencies. By now you should see why lights made my list of things you should invest in for paddleboarding .

Paddling out at night or early morning can be incredibly peaceful and relaxing. As long as you make the effort to be safe it can be a truly rewarding experience. If your paddleboard is big enough, it can be a great place to layout and look at the stars.

Just remember to keep your lights in working shape and extra batteries on hand and you’ll be smooth sailing.

Paddleboarding has been one of the few activities that's allowed me to take a mental break from life and just be in the moment. Whether you're looking for an outlet, a method for physical fitness, or even just a way to meet new people, paddle boarding can put you on a path to achieving all these goals. Every article I post on this site is made with the intention to spread sup love and get more people to stand up and paddle!
