Zwiebelfisch

City West & Charlottenburg


With its clientele of grizzled and aspiring artists, actors and writers, this cosy pub has been Charlottenburg at its boho best since the patchouli-perfumed 1960s. Arrested in time, it's a fabulous sliver of pre-reunification West Berlin and ideal for guzzling that final drink while the suits are gearing up for the office grind.
