Wilhelm Hoeck 1892

Wilhelm Hoeck 1892

Wilhelm Hoeck 1892 is an old-school Berlin pub with a jukebox and a long history. In fact, it is one should visit one of the oldest pubs in this city. Located close by the "Deutsche Oper", the pub is popular with opera artists after rehearsals and performances. The originally preserved taproom, paneled with wood and mirrors, takes the guests way back in time.

Berghain & Panorama Bar

Berghain & Panorama Bar

Inside the abandoned power plant you’ll find not one, but two clubs. Berghain is one of the most well-known in the world, sometimes dubbed 'the church of Techno'. Panorama Bar offers a slightly lighter atmosphere and plays all variations of house music. Be prepared for long lines, top-notch music played through the best audio system imaginable, and party that doesn't stop until late morning. Definitely a lifestyle experience. Berghain bouncers are strict. They tend to dislike big groups, loud laughter in the queue and phones. Be cool and discrete, and don't wear your best clothes.

Sisyphos

Sisyphos

Sisyphos will leave you exhausted, but in the best way possible. Located inside the vast indoor and outdoor spaces at a former dog biscuit factory, this club-festival hybrid creates a unique atmosphere that’s for long sunny weekends. You'll cross paths with students, experiences ravers and hippies. Dress code is often described as 'exciting'. Sisyphos is somewhat far from the centre, but you can hop into a convenient shuttle from Ostkreuz. Remember to reserve some cash for your trip home.

Salon zur wilden Renate

Salon zur wilden Renate

Salon zur wilden Renate is a three-storey labyrinth of unrenovated apartments. Once sporadic parties in this at-risk building turned into a regular weekend affair. Move to techno, house or disco — you'll find your groove. Come here for costume parties, a cocktail bar and a lush garden.

Tresor

Tresor

Tresor (German for safe or vault) was founded in 1991 in the vaults of the former department store. The club takes its beginning back to when Germany was reunified: it brought together all the who's-who of techno and house scene. Since its establishment, Tresor has moved — in 2007 a decommissioned heat and power plant Heizkraftwerk Berlin-Mitte became its new home. The atmosphere remains honest and friendly, with a good mixture of different kinds of people who just want to dance the night away. You'll make friends in no time!

Anomalie Art Club

Anomalie Art Club

Conceived and created by the Stay Free Kollektiv, the Anomalie Art Club offers music, arts and nightlife events of all kinds, exhibitions, creative workshops, sports and various other leisure activities. Come here for some of the most spectacular visual design on Berlin’s club scene. Anomalie also arranges film screenings and open-air parties.

Barbie Deinhoff’s

Barbie Deinhoff’s

Barbie Deinhoff’s, run by performance artist Lena Braun, is a vibrant and quirky bar that is frequented by members of the LGBTQA+ community. Gear up for kitschy aesthetic, retro-futurism, shabby-chic decor and very pink walls. This bar is as Berlin as it gets.

meisterschueler

meisterschueler

Meisterschueler is a modern art gallery and riverside bar that offers delicious beer and great cocktail, all in a friendly and creative environment, plus a great terrace. Try their specialty: the "Meisterschueler Mule" — with homemade ginger fizz and fresh cucumber balls.

Dicke Wirtin

Dicke Wirtin

Dicke Wirtin is a proper German pub with many beers on tap, ridiculous house schnapps, honest prices and authentic regional cuisine. Schmalz-based small bites will keep you going till late. Wood panelling and an abundance of small knick-knacks create a cosy atmosphere.

An einem Sonntag im August

An einem Sonntag im August

An einem Sonntag im August is a long-standing cafe and bar in Prenzlauer Berg. Stop by for their traditional inexpensive brunch for just €5, have a coffee while reading a book or visit in the evening for drinks and the DJ playing tunes until late at night. Unbeatable for Berlin standards!

Monkey Bar

Monkey Bar

Just east of the Bikini shopping centre in Ku'damm you'll find the incredibly popular Monkey Bar. It's funky, friendly and relatively fancy, with awesome rooftop view over the zoo and Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. It's a good idea to arrive early so you can witness the sunset and avoid the queue.

Holzmarkt 25

Holzmarkt 25

Holzmarkt 25 is a curious experiment: what if a city allowed a new quarter to be built not by the nightclub owners who put on the best parties in town? The result is a delightful hodgepodge of artistic buildings with spaces for entertainment, food and drinks, plus lots of semi-private nooks by the river. Best enjoyed in the summer and on sunny days.

Berlin Icebar

Berlin Icebar

Berlin Icebar is a winter wonderland all year round — everything, from the walls to the seats to the glass that holds your drink, is crafted from ice. For the most relaxing experience, you can book a tour that includes three three drink tokens and a cosy jacket and gloves to keep you warm.
