A little off the colorful hustle and bustle of the Reeperbahn, yet still within walking distance, the Washington Bar invites guests to dock at its long counter. It is one of the most legendary and oldest bars in Hamburg. The Austrian shanty singer Freddy Quinn was discovered here. Pictures on the wall evoke memories of the past and the heyday of seafaring romance. However, the Washington Bar does not rest on those memories. Modern sounds invite dancing and celebration. The Washington Bar is a place of encounter for everyone. It was that way yesterday, and it will still be that way tomorrow.
