Old MacDonald

Enjoy the best burgers in the city in this original pub atmosphere. Old MacDonald is a traditional American diner and sports bar.

The traditional Old Commercial Room is located in the heart of Hamburg opposite St. Michaelis Church. It is one of the oldest dining establishments in Hamburg.

The restaurant is open every day of the year (except Christmas Eve). Cuisine in the Old Commercial Room accords fish dishes pride of place. Guests are served freshly caught fish every day. However, its greatest tradition is the Original Hamburger Labskaus [lobscouse], known far beyond the boundaries of Hamburg, indeed the dish is world famous. The Old Commercial Room is also home to the Champagner Red Lounge for up to 60 people, and to Anja’s White Lounge for up to 18 people, ideal for larger groups. The menu is available in 5 languages, so is particularly well suited to international visitors. The restaurant is a good starting point for visiting many of the sights of Hamburg, e.g. the port or the Reeperbahn.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Eimsbüttel & Eppendorf

Here, one can find magnificent old building façades, local and exquisite restaurants as well as fancy boutiques and owner-operated shops. While Eppendorf is rather fancy, one can feel the hanseatic serenity in Eimsbüttel. Both districts offer much green and water and are hence with good reason very popular neighbourhoods in Hamburg.

For the love of ice cream Luicella's Ice Cream

At Luicella's, pure joie de vivre is served in a cup. The two founders of Luicella's Ice Cream fulfilled their dream of opening their own ice cream parlor in St. Pauli in 2013 - and this dream continues to grow. Hamburg now has ten Luicella's ice cream parlors, the latest of which opened in Westfield Überseequartier in April 2025.
