Alte Liebe Clubhouse

Jewel in the heart of St. Pauli

Old love doesn't rust, at least not in the clubhouse in the heart of St. Pauli. The bar on the Reeperbahn convinces with charm and style.

Everyone knows the Reeperbahn, but who knows Europe's largest media facade? Colorful, shrill and with a lot of charm the most charming surprise of the neighborhood is hidden behind the colorful facade. On the theater side of the world-famous Reeperbahn between Schmidt's Tivoli and the Docks is Schmidtchens Alte Liebe - the Panic Bar. The St. Pauli clubhouse on the first floor radiates charm, cosiness and stylish nightlife. Anyone who has been here once feels at home immediately. Right in front of the door is the always lively Spielbudenplatz, which offers a varied program at any time of the year, but also just to stroll and be amazed by the hustle and bustle on the Reeperbahn.

Dizzy feeling of the Reeperbahn meets stylish flair

In the Alte Liebe you dive into the glamorous age of the 20s. With brick walls, stucco on the ceiling, comfortable sofas and golden chandeliers decorate the rooms of Alte Liebe while the lively, varied and cult bar feeling provides a refreshing combination. A unique counter and an ice pavilion, where guests queue up for multi-faceted beverage creations, round off the unique atmosphere of the bar on the Kiez. Of course, the simple Astra cannot be missing here either. Every taste is catered for here.

Multifaceted from morning to night

From cozy get-togethers, indoors or outdoors, to lavish parties and celebrations, old love unites casual snatching, celebrating, dancing and even culture does not miss out. During the day the guests of Panik City - Udo Lindenberg's multimedia experience are welcomed and entertained. The Udo program can be enjoyed to the full with coffee, tasty cake or a hearty pretzel stick baked on a plate.

In the early evening, the unique Schmidtchen Theatre (located directly behind the bar) is catered for by the team of Alte Liebe. A good drop of wine can be enjoyed here during the entire performance. 

During the night the bar is transformed into a livemusic club, which offers a great nightlife daily from 9 p.m. with live bands and music of different kinds and fascinates every listener.
