Bar & Aftershow

The Gondel Bar. A Hanoverian bar institution in a new look.

A touch of past times describes the atmosphere of the Gondol Bar best. It is the ideal place for the traditional drink at the bar. This is where the Hanoverian meet from all over the city at the beginning of night in the GOP, to round off a fascinating variety show or simply because of the unique atmosphere. Our bar team creates with lot of passion exciting cocktails and special gin creations for you. You can also simply try a unique wine from our extensive and varied menu.

History

The Gondel is located in the heart of Hanover and is probably the most historic restaurant in the city.

It was already known as “Café-Restaurant Georgspalast” in the 1920s. In 1948 after the war ended it was reopened by Wilhelm Hirte. At that time there was hardly anyone of distinction in show business who wasn’t guest in the Gondel. Paul Hörbiger and Gert Fröbe were here as guests such as Josephine Baker, Heinz Erhardt and even Zarah Leander.

In summer 2014 the gondola has been redesigned with its unique Gondel Bar. The combination of restaurant and bar makes the Gondel a popular location for small, large and exclusive celebrations.
