Berlin Nightlife: 55 Best Local Bars & Nightclubs in Berlin

Mano

By Annika

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.

A relaxed wine bar

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!

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.

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.

The 24h Breakfast Hang-Out

Schwarzes Café

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.

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.

Dance without worries

Having to worry about dress codes and door policies when going out is definitely an issue in Berlin. In some clubs you can never be sure to get in, even when you dress exactly like the last time. It´s good to know that very probably here you won´t have trouble with that.

So much history to party at! Mind you, not everything has been preserved, the spirit however lingers on. If you are not into dancing, don't worry. The Biergarten upfront is a wonderful place to spend the night!

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.

Cult bar where you least expect it

Very constant hedonistic quality since ages. The bar is such an institutions it is listed on Wikipedia. Expect chaos and brutally honest fun. Do not expect available space for breathing, dancing without contact.

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
