Gay Hamburg for single gay

Similar to the gay couple who posted in August, I am a 25 year old gay male who will be in Hamburg this coming weekend. Will be there for work but have some time to myself.

Checked out a few of the linked sites (both the city and outtraveller/planetgay) on the couples post, but those tend to be outdated (ended up visiting 4 gay bars which had closed in Athens, all in one night, once).

Am looking for real insider information

Looking for fun gay bars and nightclubs to see. But dont want to end up in some dugeon-y dark room with leather daddies, since I know Hamburg has its scary fetish side.

What other attractions (re: non-gay) can i absolulely not miss in Hamburg?

And does anyone know how far St. Georg is from the Mercure Hotel?

Thanks.

I can you help only with your last question - partly.

street map

http://stadtplan.hamburg.de

St. Georg is south-east of the Lake Außenalster and north-east of the Hauptbahnhof (main railway station).

Partly - because there are 4 Mercure hotels in Hamburg:

Mercure Hotel Hamburg an der Messe

Mercure Hotel Hamburg Airport Nord

Mercure Hotel Meridian Hamburg

Mercure Hotel Hamburg City

From the last one this is in walking distance.

mercure an der messe is where i am staying, but ill look itup.

thank you sven.

am in fact back from Hamburg.

And here is my wrap up:

Bellini Bar - very small nice

G Club - decent, but not too many people

Cafe Gnosa - cool, loungy, like Hamburg%26#39;s version of the Big Cup in NYC.

EDK - tiny club, but great music, best saturday after 2 am

the pit/male/tom%26#39;s - scary dark room style, but interesting if you are into that sort of thing

Stricly men - yikes! i would not recommend, realy, really scray.

i in fact loved hamburg, as both a tourist, and a gay man. Met a sweet Hamburger (?) named Sven, but i dont think it was you.... ;)

Hey There,

I am a 32 yr-old gay man headed to Hamburg for the entire month of April, 2006. I%26#39;ll be working some but mostly want to be in a fun gay neighborhood immersed in the language.

I need to rent an apartment/hotel room for the month and will be with my small dog.

Can you recommend a neighborhood and sources/services for renting places for the month (dog friendly).

Any info would be appreciated.
