Berlin Nightlife: 64 Best Local Bars & Nightclubs in Berlin

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.

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. Watch out: After 20:00h it's a smokers' bar!

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.

Huge Beer garden

Pratergarten

Beer, Sausages and French Fries. What else do you want? If you are satisfied by those simple things, go there. It's a huge (i repeat: huge) place, sometimes more bikes than people. It used to be a sports area, some artifacts are still obvious ,)

Dance without worries

Alte Kantine in der Kulturbrauerei

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.

Remainder of Mitte´s squatting era

Zosch

Zosch is one of the last unspoilt bars in the otherwise quite touristy Mitte district. Its unpolished charmes keep away the hipster crowds and that´s just what locals like when they are up for a cool beer and some table football.

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!

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.
