The Molotow is a music club founded in 1990 in Hamburg's St. Pauli district. It was located in the Esso buildings on Spielbudenplatz until December 2013 and was 23 steps below street level.
The Molotow regularly hosts concerts by bands from various musical genres such as indie, punk, post-rock, as well as poetry slams, parties from the rock, pop and electro genres, and other events. In addition, the Molotow is one of the clubs where the Reeperbahnfestival takes place. The venue was the basement room of the Molotow, which had room for about 300 people. Bands that have played at the Molotow - often before their commercial breakthrough - include The White Stripes, Mumford & Sons, Die Toten Hosen, The Hives, Bright Eyes, Wir sind Helden, Mando Diao and The Killers.
