Yesterday in the early evening I was in the kitchen of Le Lion. I saw the world greatest Bar Back, Kaies, checking the champagne chambrair. " Seven bottles of Dom Perignon Rosé, eight Vintage ones" he gave this numbers as a notice to a bartender on the phone. Sam was giving us a call from London. He is coming to Hamburg tomorrow. He is meeting up with some very important Sommeliers. He has a very important meeting with them. But somehow his champagne provider fucked it up. So his is calling "high end" Bar to help him out.

Von Zeit zu Zeit schreibe ich eine Mail an die Stammgäste des Le Lion • Bar de Paris. So wie diese Woche. Tool: Mailchimp . Hier können Sie sich auf meinen Verteiler eintragen: Freunde des Löwen .

Die „coolen“ Bars schrauben Ihr Gin Sortiment zurück, einige Bartender mit „Bildungsauftrag“ rümpfen neuerdings bei Ihrer Gin Tonic Bestellung die Nase und die ganzen coolen Hunde blicken ihne

THE BOILERMAN BAR Top 10 Sales from October 2014 to October 2015 A little bit longer than 3 years ago, our company Lion Barbetriebe GmbH opened their second bar: THE BOILERMAN BAR . Our Idea was to create a kind of total opposite of LE LION • BAR DE PARIS our Classic Bar in the center of Hamburg. So we created a Dive Bar concept, where we took all thinks, which we do not like on dive bars, out. Our goal was an easy and relaxing neighborhood, dive  bar with a little bit uptempo atmosphere. But to keep our core values from also Le Lion. Very friendly, competent staff, fresh and quality ingredients, a great value for money. The rest we flipped. Next to this we wanted to create quick and easy to prepare drinks. Not boring. With a story. Great in taste. And strong and tasteful ( another Lions core value). So we researched the history of Highballs and found out that they are everything else than Longdrinks, Spirits with a filler and all these boring style. (btw: Still the
