Toom Peerstall

The Toom Peerstall in St. Pauli – a familiar name for the old locals as a vibrant oasis with a fascinating history and a pulsating present! Formerly a blacksmith and horse stable according to its name, the Peerstall became the workplace of tattoo legend Christian Warlich after World War I, where he ran Germany's first pub and tattoo parlor. Over time, this place has witnessed the upheavals and changes in St. Pauli. As container shipping began and the number of sailors decreased, the original St. Pauli locals defined the district, and the formidable Katharina took over the Peerstall in the 1980s, transforming it into a meeting point for the unique St. Pauli characters and queer avant-garde before the term even existed. And today? Reopened two years ago with the mission of preserving pubs, the Peerstall is now a lively expression of the community's and neighborhood's diversity and a tribute to its roots. Embedded in the heartbeat of St. Pauli, the Toom Peerstall is not just a bar but a vibrant pub where the counter is not merely a surface for drinks. The events showcase the diversity of guests: from drag shows with singing, modern jazz, to eccentric and inspiring queer open stages, the Peerstall consistently provides a platform for self-expression and creativity. With challenging pub quizzes, drink specials, and wine tastings, we celebrate togetherness and curiosity for enjoyment. Thus, the “Peerstall” now stands for cold beer, warm conversations, and unforgettable nights.
