This small, graffiti-faced bar that hugs the Oberbaumbrücke is an institution in the lively neighborhood around Schlesisches Tor. They have cake and a small selection of snacks, but really, it’s the atmosphere that keeps the regulars coming back.

With a shabby charm cobbled together from old furniture and yellowed wallpaper framing some rather cheesy decoration, the laid-back environment of the bar and service matches its clientele. The perfect pre-party place, have your clan congregate here before heading over to nearby Watergate, Lido or the recently opened Live at Dot—though the bar’s natural allure may just have you staying put for the night.
