Option rows, not a single winner — different lanes for different fans.

Jolly Roger
walkable to stadium · home · budget
The St. Pauli fan pub, directly across the road from the Millerntor on Budapester Straße. Supporter-owned and run as a non-profit, with proceeds going into supporters' projects.
Cold beer, punk soundtrack, stickers and memorabilia everywhere. Tourism and review sources say the doors open about two hours before kick-off on matchdays and it gets packed before and after.
keep with caveat: Strong, well-sourced home-fan ritual venue opposite the ground (tourism authority plus independent review coverage). It is a fan bar, not a neutral or guaranteed away-safe venue.

near ground food
Ashoka
walkable to stadium · neutral · mid range
Curry house over the road from the Millerntor — a practical sit-down feed near the ground before kick-off.
Hamburg tourism's St. Pauli walkthrough names Ashoka as being across from the stadium with a hot, well-rated curry.
keep with caveat: Single tourism-authority source naming it near the ground; useful near-ground food row but wants a second independent source and a current-hours check before it is a headline pick.

ÜberQuell Brauwerkstätten
harbour walk · neutral · mid range
Microbrewery and Neapolitan-style pizza place at St. Pauli Fischmarkt, down by the harbour and a walk from the ground — good for a proper feed and a home-brewed beer.
Home-brewed beer plus wood-fired pizza baked in a hand-built Naples oven; in St. Pauli since 2017 at St. Pauli Fischmarkt 28-32.
keep: Own site plus tourism authority plus independent review coverage support the craft-beer-and-pizza fit; closer to the harbour than the ground, so it is a pre-match feed rather than a doorstep bar.

city centre food
Krug
reeperbahn area · neutral · mid range
Sit-down restaurant on Paul-Roosen-Straße in the Reeperbahn orbit for fans who want a meal before walking up to the Millerntor.
Named by Hamburg tourism as a good restaurant around the Reeperbahn (Paul-Roosen-Straße 35).

Standard
reeperbahn area · neutral · mid range
Aperitivo bar on Große Freiheit with a big Negroni list — a pre- or post-match drink in the Reeperbahn streets.
Hamburg tourism describes it as an aperitivo bar with a large Negroni selection (Große Freiheit 9).
keep with caveat: Single tourism-authority source naming it; fine Reeperbahn drinks row but needs a current-hours check and a second source before it leads.

night out · city centre drink
clockers Bar
reeperbahn area · neutral · mid range
St. Pauli cocktail and gin bar on Paul-Roosen-Straße, open since 2014, pouring its own house clockers GIN — a later-night option after the football.
Hamburg tourism lists it as a gin-and-events bar in the middle of St. Pauli making its own gin and herbal liqueur.
keep with caveat: Tourism-authority source; good night-out drinks row but a doors/age/entry check and a second source are wanted before it leads.

reeperbahn area · neutral · mid range
Named brewery-bar in the St. Pauli/Reeperbahn orbit for fans making a night of it after the Millerntor.

keep with caveat: Direct Astra brewery site confirms the venue; TripAdvisor and Hamburg tourism provide independent/nightlife context. Good named Reeperbahn-area option, with fixture-safety caveat.

Practical fallback food and drink inside the ground if you're short on time.
