As an exiled Blue whose lived in Hamburg for 9 years now,just thought i´d post this to give those of you who´ve maybe not been to Hamburg before, a few tips to help you enjoy the trip.
HOTELS:- forget the City Centre unless the credit crunch hasn´t reached you yet.You should get a room in St Pauli or Altona for about 45 Euro a night.
PUBS:- It´s up to you,but my advice would be to avoid the pubs on the Reeperbahn.They´re basically over priced tourist rip-off joints imo!Cross over the Reeperbahn from Burger King and there´s side streets running away from the Reeperbahn with lots of local German pubs,where you´ll get a decent beer for 2Euro.
Best Irish pub in town -imo- is the Shamrock on Feldstrasse (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.shamrockirishpub.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.shamrockirishpub.de</a>).Sky and Setanta here.It may not open before 6p.m but deffo after the game.
Couple of good German pubs, the St Pauli Eck,corner of Simon von Utrecht Str and Hein Hoyer Str and Günthers on Thadenstrasse - i´m converting them to the cause!!
All 3 pubs are 5 mins walk from the S-Bahn station Reeperbahn and/or U-Bahn station,Feldstrasse.Go to <a class="postlink" href="http://www.hvv.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.hvv.de</a> and click on English version.It gives you info about travelling around on the trains and buses,with maps etc.
FOOD:- Burger king,McDonalds and K.F.C are allroughly in the middle of the Reeperbahn-loads of German sausage stands
and Turkish Kebab shops.(Kalb means Veal and Hänchen means Chicken) Post no2 to follow!

Good stuff Blue, dont suppose you have any similar intel on Frankfurt by any chance? I am visiting there in July and was wondering where to go and what to do?

Cheers!
 
if you re going to frankfurt try the bars in satchenhausen, its about 300 yards from the main shopping street, just walk over the bridge on the river main and you are there, lots of bars and pubs clustered together

Cheers PA...

I was there for the WC in 06 but it was pretty much all a blur at the riverside drinkfest going on!! Found a load of Blues though and we outsang and out drank the Aussies who were there, just before they all fell off a table....funny as feck ang a great time.......if only i could remember it! My wife says "you must know where to go, you were there a couple of years ago...........or was you permanently pissed the whole time you were there.....!!"

Thanks again Blue!
 
I´ve honestly got no idea re brass attack prices.The ladies in question stand outside Burger King on the Reeperbahn,100 yds further down the same street and on the Herbertstrasse.
My guess would be about 50Euro,but don´t quote me.

Forget the Reeperbahn for a brass attack. I lived in hamburg for a couple of years and whenever friends came over from the UK they all wanted to sample some of the "ladies" Hamburg is famous for. But the girls will just try to rip you off. The Reeperbahn is a tourist trap.
