Toom Peerstall

The city's first pub tattoo parlour, later a rustic queer institution and now a revived pub with changing queer events: the Toom Peerstall has always stirred up St. Pauli

The Toom Peerstall on St. Pauli - a familiar name to old Kiezhasen as a lively oasis with a fascinating history and a vibrant present! Formerly a blacksmith's shop and horse stable on St. Pauli, the Peerstall was the workplace of tattoo legend Christian Warlich after the First World War, who ran Germany's first pub and ink salon here. Thus, over the course of time, this place has witnessed the upheavals and changes on St. Pauli. When the sailors became fewer with the start of container shipping and the St. Pauli originals dominated the district, the pithy Katharina took over the helm of the Peerstall in the 1980s, which became a meeting place for St. Pauli oddballs and queer avant-garde before the word actually existed.

And today? Reopened two years ago with the mission of pub preservation, the Peerstall is now a living expression of the diversity of the community and neighbourhood 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 bar is not just a place to put drinks.

The events show the diversity of the guests: from drag shows with singing, modern jazz to eccentric-inspiring queer open stages, the Peerstall always offers a stage for self-expression and creativity. With tricky pub quizzes, drink specials and wine tastings, we celebrate togetherness and curiosity about pleasure.

So now the "Peerstall" stands for cool beer, warm conversations and unforgettable nights and unforgettable nights.
