Hagarty's

Located at Ostertorsteinweg 80 in Bremen’s vibrant Viertel district, Hegarty’s Irish Pub Bremen is the kind of spot that invites you in for a drink and then pulls you into the experience. With a genuine Irish-pub atmosphere — complete with dark wood paneling, glasses of stout being poured “with love”, and the hum of music or sport in the background — the place manages to feel both familiar and slightly festive.

Inside, you’ll find a wide selection of beers (especially Irish imports), about 30 + whiskeys, big screens showing football or rugby, and regularly scheduled live‐music evenings and quiz nights in English. The vibe is casual, fun and social — people come for drinks with friends, to catch the match, join in a quiz, or just hang out in a pub that doesn’t take itself too seriously while still delivering well. For example, one review says:

“Big Irish pub… Lots of screens with sports on… friendly welcoming bartenders.”

The pub’s location in the Viertel means you’re in a lively but local-centric part of Bremen — you’re not in a sterile tourist zone, but in a genuine neighbourhood. That adds to the charm, as this is a place where regulars mingle with newcomers, and the atmosphere stays relaxed even when a big game is on.

Food is available (finger-food, burgers, fish & chips etc) though it isn’t gourmet dining — it complements the drinks. One visitor review highlights fresh fries and fish & chips alongside a Guinness. The bar opens typically around 17:00 on weekdays and stays open late (on weekends into the early hours).

If you visit

expect smart-casual dress, bring some cash (some reviews mention preference for cash) and plan to arrive early on quiz or live-music nights. The crowd is mixed — locals, expats, sports fans, music fans. The space is deeper than you might think from the outside, so there’s usually space inside even when it seems busy from the street.

In short

Hegarty’s Irish Pub Bremen is ideal if you’re after a genuine pub outing in Bremen — with hearty drinks, sports, music and friendly staff — rather than minimalist cocktail perfection or ultra-lounge ambience. It’s informal, fun and local.
