Le Lion, Rathausstrasse 3 at Rathausmarkt
http://www.lelion.net/
Great place for an after dinner drink. Hidden behind a metal door is a very small and intimate bar with a trendy but cozy interior that reminds of a French boudoir. The drinks are outstanding and the crowd wonderful normal. No hillbillies or posers! Open from Tue-Sat from 8 pm. Metro station: Rathausmarkt (U3) or Jungfernstieg (U1, U2, S1, S21, S3).

Bars/Happy Hour in Hamburg - Altona

Strandpauli, Hafenstrasse 89, Hamburg
http://www.strandpauli.de/
Every summer several beach clubs open their doors along the Elbe riverbanks. The best one in my opinion is Strandpauli that adjoins the ferry terminal at Landungsbrücken to the right. From 11am – 10pm you can relax in beach chairs, beds, and cabanas and listen to lounge music and watch the harbor life. This is a must do when visiting Hamburg in summer! Metro station: Landungsbrücken (U3, S1, S21, S3)
20 up @ Empire Riverside, Bernhard-Nocht-Strasse 97, Hamburg
http://www.empire-riverside.de/lounge_bar_hamburg.aspx
From the 20th floor you have the best view over the harbor and the docks. This place is a must do during your stay, in particular during night. Drinks are pricey but the view pays off.
Reh Bar, Ottenser Hauptstrasse 52, Hamburg
http://www.rehbar.de/
The Reh Bar re-defines the ambiance of a common hunting shack. Besides a stylish wooden interior, trendy green walls painted with deer images greet you. This local hang out has a great daily happy hour from 6-9 pm with EUR 5 cocktails you shouldn’t miss. Metro station: Altona (S1, S21, S3, S11, and S31)
