Berlin Nightlife: 64 Best Local Bars & Nightclubs in Berlin

Fuchsbau

By Anne

Did I mention the breakfast already? There's also a stack of magazines, if you want to polish up your German or find out what the celebrities are doing - the pictures are usually enough to figure out what's going on. Watch out: After 20:00h it's a smokers' bar!

Michelberger Hotel

Nightlife 14 1

Perfect chill out

Michelberger Hotel

It's a rather quiet place, so it's perfect if you want to relax before or after a party, or take a break from visiting the city. The sofas provide a comfort that cannot be found in other similar places. And their cakes are extremely delicious.

Club der Visionäre

Party lounge at the river

With its international crowd it is a perfect place to meet other travelers or the locals who will be willing to talk about Berlin and give you some good tips about the city. The atmosphere of the place is like nothing else.

Meet the locals and have a nice cold beer under the shimmering lights on the corner of Skalitzer street. Want to remind yourself a bit of your childhood? Climb up a ladder and spend an evening playing board games with your friends under the roof, like in a tree-house, or put on a bit of theatre to get the attention of the friendly staff.

Tresor

The Techno temple

Tresor

In its new locations Tresor has lost some of its underground character, but on the plus side it's now much more spacious and easier to get in. The one thing left unchanged is the music: hard, innovative techno beats.

Schwarzes Café

Nightlife 36 8

By Florian

The 24h Breakfast Hang-Out

Schwarzes Café

36

The interior, that stretches over two floors, gives a "jazzed up" impression of how Berlin homes looked like in the first half of the 20th century. The food is of high quality and fairly priced, featuring mixed local, Euro-, and Asian cuisine. And if you are part of the legend yourself, you can enjoy your breakfast when normal people have dinner.

A Gem In Berlin's Nightlife Crown

Sisyphos

The place is beautifully decorated inside as well as outside, resembling a miraculous wonderland. Come here to forget your every day worries and celebrate king techno, and other styles of music on numerous dancefloors. Don't come here if you're flight is scheduled tomorrow.

Kvartira 62

Russian Berlin´s standard setting bar

Kvartira 62

Kvartira 62 is not only a place for russian expats overcome by nostalgia but also a popular meeting-place of the Kreuzberg bohème in the evenings. A beautiful interior, friendly service and affordable prices have made this place a local´s favourite for years.

Perlin

Nightlife 15 1

By Nadine

A relaxed wine bar

Perlin

You can have a "cheap" evening with your friends because it's not very pricey. It has a relaxing atmosphere, the music is nice and the staff is friendly. But be careful: this place is not big, there are only about 30 seats (maybe less), so better come in smaller groups or call them first. It's small and cozy and a good place to have a nice time!

Watergate

Nightlife 14 2

By Dominik

Electronic beats with a view

Watergate

If you like to dance to electronic beats and do it in style you should pay a visit to Watergate. The music selection has an impecable reputation. Prices are upscale and as the club is often packed the door policy can sometimes be restrictive.

Maybachufer

Nightlife 9 2

By Carlotta

Lovely and vibrant promenade

Maybachufer

There's a nice open market on weekends, in summer all the people sit along the river, drinking beer, for new years eve you can admire all the fireworks from one of the bridges. It's exactly between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, everywhere around there are starting groups for the party weekend, or families enjoying a nice dinner

ZMF Zur Möbelfabrik

Nightlife 8 1

By Anne

Hidden basement charme

ZMF Zur Möbelfabrik

It's some kind of underground playground with different small rooms and the most unpretentious atmosphere possible. Apart from their own gigs, other people and/or organisations can rent it for their events so you will find a very diverse event line-up every month.

Promenaden-Eck

Nightlife 8 4

By Florian

The Schillerkiez Dance Bar

Promenaden-Eck

8

If you live close by this could be a place to start your evening. Come here on any Neukölln weekend if you want to see more action than in a bar without having to pay at the door. The music is wilfully danceable. Whether you are getting in the mood, or taking it home from there, you are probably not doing anything massively wrong.

Rooftop Beach Bar with view over Berlin

DECK 5 - Cityview Sunsetbar

Some say the sunsets are the best thing, others just enjoy the whole mood. Some had complaints about the drinks and staff - but I guess you have to find out yourself. It can be rather busy on weekends, so maybe avoid it then.
