Hafendommel (Container Bar am Stadthafen)

Nestled at the water’s edge of the vibrant Rostocker Stadthafen, the Hafendommel (formerly known as “Rost Dock”) is a seasonal container-bar offering a relaxed mix of drinks, culture and harbour atmosphere. From early in the year (typically opening in May) through the warmer months, this open-air venue transforms repurposed shipping containers into a lively bar space complete with a large terrace, lounge seating, pop-up events and views across the Warnow. You’ll find local craft beers, cocktails, coffee during day hours, and a calendar of music- and culture-led happenings such as jazz sessions, silent discos and fire-shows. The surroundings are part of the appeal: you’re not hidden away in a club but right out at the harbour promenade — perfect for a sunny afternoon drink, a casual evening hang-out or keeping things going after other spots. The operators emphasise sustainability and community engagement too — the venue engages with initiatives around public space, environmental responsibility and creative programming. Whether you’re after chilled daytime coffee or beer in deck chairs, or want to stay for live music and drinks under the stars — it hits a flexible, friendly note. Do keep in mind: it is seasonal and weather-dependent, so checking updates for opening times is wise.
