Badehaus Szimpla Musiksalon

Friedrichshain


This low-key club in a former workers' bathhouse on the RAW grounds delivers with eclectic bathhouse-themed decor (check out the golden tub), cheap drinks and relaxed punters. With concerts and parties spanning a musical arc from punk to electro-swing, plus Tuesday hip-hop jam sessions, this place covers all the bases – only the sound could be a touch better.

If you've been to Budapest, you may know the Badehaus' big sister, the famous Szimpla Kert ruin bar.
