God, this is a really hard review to write. Yes, the cocktails are truly top-notch, but i've never felt so uncomfortable and judged at an establishment that is upscale (or at least trying way too hard to be).
Pro tip (true story):
1.) The front door will deny you entrance without prior reservations, they're "completely booked" even though it's 1:30am, the weather is awful, and no one's around.
2.) Don't panic- just go around the corner, call the bar, and you'll find out you can swing by, but it's "standing room only."
3.) The guy in the velvet jacket who just denied you 2 minutes ago will be bound by his honor code to let you in when you come back and tell him you know there's standing room, but will be visibly annoyed, like a bridge troll who just endured someone solving his riddle required to pass.
4.) When you're in, there will actually be plenty of seating room- they just like to turn people away to seem exclusive.
5.) Order a drink to celebrate defeating the door dragon.
Again, great drinks, but someone please tell Le Lion they're in Hamburg, Germany...not fashion week in Milan.

The Le Lion is over.
The bar keepers are snobbish and arrogant, not because they could afford it, but because they act like it. You like being attended by staff that has a stick up their butt? Then the Le Lion is your place to go. However, this kills the atmosphere for me really, which feels like plastic. But if you share such attitudes, it's probably one of the best places in Hamburg to have a great cocktail, comparable to those I had in Manhattan. In the end, you will find yourself trapped between great cocktails and an arrogant, sometimes making-fun-of vibe at the bar. They make a quite bad and way too sweet Whisky Sour, but an awesome Penicillin.

I have been missing London so badly and then I went to Le Lion Bar. Beautiful London style bar with great people and delicious cocktails. Love the Staff's.
