THE BOILERMAN BAR

The laid-back atmosphere of the Boilerman Bar at 25hours Hotel Altes Hafenamt is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy skilfully mixed highballs and long drinks. Jörg Meyer and Rainer Wendt opened the first Boilerman Bar in 2012 in Eppendorf. Highballs are the origin of the bar's name. It was the signal that indicated when train drivers should pick up speed. And the boilerman was the guy who had to stack the furnace to really get the engine going.
In the Boilerman Bar, it's the bar staff who get our guests really stoked up with their precisely mixed drinks.

Highballs are the undisputed champions of the drink menu at the Boilerman Bar.
Concocted from the finest spirits, they are stirred, not shaken. Quick to make, reasonably sized and served with two ice balls in a chilled glass, highballs are the perfect opportunity to try out a range of flavour combinations. Rum is the speciality of the Boilerman Bar Altes Hafenamt. But spirits like whiskey, gin and tequila are also used in the highballs served here.
