Drinks in northern Germany

Im Leuchtturm

When you sit inside Leuchtturm, you feel like you're in northern Germany. This place is so unique! The walls are full with boats, ropes and anything that is associated with the sea you could possibly imagine. Only the cold breeze from the northern sea is missing to really make you think you're right at the coast. This is not Köln, this is Hamburg.
