Walk-Ins
Walk-Ins
Roses
If you’re in Kreuzberg, it’d be a crime not to pop your head into this 20+-year-old queer bar with furry pink walls, leopard print stools, and glittering Madonnas.
Villa Neukölln
Although the cocktail and wine selection at Villa Neukölln is nothing to write home about, this cheap, cozy, late-night drinking spot is one of the most reliable bars in the area.
Café Am Neuen See
This temporary self-service kiosk sits on a small lake, and dishes out steins of helles and simple German food to large groups bathing in vitamin D.
Fitcher's Vogel
Fitcher’s Vogel in Friedrichshain is the archetypal Berlin bar, with its peeling wallpaper, glowing vintage lampshades, excessive amount of candles, and dusty upholstered furniture.
Sway
There’s no better place to kick off the weekend than Sway, a relaxed natural wine bar on Pannierstraße.
Kwia
While this listening bar isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, if you’re craving a change from Berlin’s dark smoky spaces, head to Kwia.
Wohnzimmer Bar
Wohnzimmer Bar looks like a bar you might have in your living room, but it serves an exceptional espresso martini that keeps the young crowd going until its 2:30am closing time.
Sorsi E Morsi
This Italian bar in Prenzlauer Berg responsibly serves small bites (morsi) to accompany your drinks (sorsi), contradicting its not-so-responsible 6am closing time on Friday and Saturday.
Le Bar Tabac
Le Bar Tabac is popular all year round, but has a real buzz in the summer, when locals pour out onto the pavement with a Gauloise in one hand and Le Vodka Soda in the other.
8mm
From indie rock to post-punk, this legendary dive bar has been loyally serving the city’s underground music scene since 2002.
