Mein Haus am See

Berlin


This 'House by the Lake' is nowhere near anything liquid, unless you count the massive amount of beverages consumed at its multitasking all-hours cafe-bar, gallery, performance space and club. Plop down onto grandma's sofa or grab a seat on the staircase for stadium-style hipster-watching. Separate smoking room.

Groups over four people may reserve a table online which may be occupied for two hours. On Friday and Saturday, there's a minimum spend of €12.90 per person until 9pm and €19.90 per person after 9pm during the allotted two-hour time slot.
