The cocktail bar scene in Hamburg is quite good with many good places. This time we choose Bar Le Lion https://www.lelion.net close to Rathausmarkt. Their claim to fame is the invention of the Gin Basil Smash. All cocktails we tried were very well made and balanced. Also, great relaxed ambiance and surprisingly crowded for a weekday night around 11pm.
