Night Life
Berlin is open all the time and has all sorts of things to offer: you
can end a cultural evening with a drink in a fancy place, or you can
dance all night until you drop. There is a wide variety in music as
well. Trends change quickly, however, and a club that is ‘in’ today, can
be ‘out’ again tomorrow. Information about events you can find in the
city magazines like tip (
www.tip-berlin.de ), Zitty (
www.zitty.de ), the free magazine [030] (www.berlin030.de),
the Siegessäule for homosexuals and lesbians, or in the flyers
like Fresh Guide (
www.freshguide.de ).
If this is your first time in the Berlin night life, we recommend a
nightly tour through Berlin-Mitte and around the Hackesche Höfe.
In the Oranienburger Straße, between the Oranienburger Tor and
the Monbijouplatz, bars and restaurant-cafes like Zapata (Tacheles),
Zosch, Oren, Obst und Gemüse, Silberstein or Hakbarth’s are very
inviting. At the courtyards there are nice occurrences as well:
Heckmannhöfe, Rosenhöfe or Sophie-Gips-Höfe (Sophienstraße).
