Nordlicht A nice chat and a beer to go with it

The Hanseatic pub Nordlicht reflects exactly what makes St. Pauli so unique. You can quickly strike up a conversation with the regulars, and the prices are reasonable.

What do we expect in an honest corner pub? The beer has to be cold, the bar staff possibly a bit grumpy, and the neighborhood has to be present. That's the Nordlicht. Here, everyone can be whoever they want to be. Whether in a bathrobe or a ball gown - no one is interested here. A good chat? Just pour out your heart? If you want to understand St. Pauli, you have to visit the Northern Lights.
