EBG Rating: 7.7/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
By Bremen’s modest standards, the drinks menu is decent here with a notch more effort put in to it than the average dive bar, though options are broad rather than deep.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Half-step basement with two rooms. Punky, low-lit and a bit grungey, but with a bit of a modern look too. Imagine a hipster barbers had been taken over and squatted in.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Noisy, smokey and uptempo with a casual feel but somewhat of a towny one too.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️
Snacks, outdoor seating, smoking permitted

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
Typical Bremen prices in line with the area, though there are Happy Hour deals too.

Description:
Rum Bumper’s has taken the decision to write on its front windows “If you’re a bigoted asshole…don’t come in!” and that is an approach you’ll find consistently across the Steintor Viertel, Bremen’s best area for nightlife.

A basement pub with a piratey theme (not overbearing) set across two rooms, a bar and a loungier space opposite.

Despite the punky ethos the atmosphere actually feels like a towny late bar to a point too, or somewhere between the two.

This is also reflected in its drinks menu which covers a fair few bases pretty well (wine probably being the exception).

It’s a buzzy, uptempo place in gloomy, kinda atmospheric surroundings where the noise and smoke are amped up a touch.

If you are looking for a casual, knockabout punky venue with more of an uptempo late night approach this could be the Bremen bar for you.
