Prenzlauer Berg


With its flirty vibe, wallet-friendly drinks prices and a pretension-free crowd, this local institution scores a trifecta on key ingredients for a good night out. Different DJs kick into gear after 10pm Tuesday to Saturday playing an eclectic sound mix from 80s to funk, indie to rock.

A good place to steer towards for that final drink when everything else in the area is closed.
