Took a little bit of time but eventually they seemed to warm to me. One huge biker dude took a shine to me and kept joking with me all night in broken English. At the end of his night (which was quite early) he swooped in and gave me a kiss on the cheek and wished me a lovely vacation. The bathrooms were cleaner and nicer than the cobalt/funkys/astoria from my dives back home in Vancouver - seriously Vancouver, get your shit together - LITERALLY. Drink prices seemed super reasonable to me. But really anywhere in Europe they seem reasonable to me. Bartender didn't really know how to make a whiskey sour and what I ended up drinking wasn't that fantastic, but I think that's my fault, what the hell was I doing ordering a whiskey sour at this place? Beer seems to be the best bet. The place filled up quick and seemed very popular with the locals and tourists alike.

Grab a beer and enjoy great DJs, awesome bands and even a regular burlesque show! I had been told to go here by various people who had travelled there to perform with their bands and I'm glad I listened to their advice. The crowd were all great too, you felt really comfortable and among like-minded people. My favourite night in Berlin was the night I spent at Wild at Heart. GO. I urge you. One final tip - make sure to go next door and eat at Tiki Heart.

If you're looking for a rad place to knock back a few beers with friends and play a couple games of backgammon among other laid-back folk then you've found yourself a new home. Old-school Fhain keeping it real but beware, staff is selectively friendly. I.e. be cool to them and they'll be cool to you. Act like a w@nker and you'll get the same treatment in kind. Careful about your bags; if you go to see a show there don't be a victim and leave your backpack unattended. Nuff said. Taschendiebe aside, always always always worth a visit.

If you go to Supamolly you might feel as if you missed the spot because to get to the concert area…read moreyou have to go through a small bar at first. The door to the concert areal opens at about ten, but may vary. They have plenty of hallways, corners and steps to stride along after which you come into the first room, which is the bar kind of loungy area. All equipped with rather worn down sofas, quite trashy (Berlin style). Two small alleyways spit you onto the concert floor with the stage, where it usually gets loaded full and crammed. If you want it a bit quieter, make your way up the metal spiralstairs which lead to the bar and toilets. From here you also have a great view on the dancing crowd and on the stage. Grab a Club Mate vodka ! and let your eyes indulge in the artwork that has been scattered all over the place..paintings, statues..and the dj, which stands on a small platform only and uses digital equipment in his small cell to make the whole sound possible. The sound really can be anything, they have livebands ranging from jazz over hardcore to art-noise. Though they host ska bands mainly.Ocassionally they have a special Rattenbar called gayparty too, but anyone is welcome. Several times a year there is also a theatrefestival with a variety of artists showing what they can. Youll find yourself very likely in the position of seeing a band never thought could of existed before and then really liking them.Its alwayssmth special going on. Afterwards there are always Djs till real early in the mroning with all kinds of music styles(Drum n Bass, Jungle, Raggea,20s, Electro) Entrance fee is mostly 4EUR which is very cheap- the drinks are too. The people are very mixed, mostly 20to 40, but everything is possible. You know this feeling ofaaah why have guys like those have to hang out here I never had it when I was there, everyone is relaxed and there to have fun. One negative thing at times can be the toilets..but use the ones in the entrancebar and you should be fine. Oh and you can smoke..whatever In summer they have a campfire in the backyard.

On wednesdays its Dub-Wohnzimmer (dub livingroom).

After all the build up, it didn't disappoint! It's smaller than I expected, so even on a Monday night the dance floor was packed! I didn't make it out to the patio or side lounge, but I did dance my heart out of everything from The Cure, London after midnight, she past away, boy harsher, the Bolshoi... Classics from every decade represented! And wow... They make incredible Moscow mules, which is something I would have never expected! Maybe they were too good? I totally didn't plan to drink that many. *Lol* But going back to the crowd ... I loved the come as you are vibe -- the complete opposite of the gotther than thou snottery in Barcelona!

Of all the Berlin venues I've experienced, thus far, Astra ranks the lowest…read more It is, of course, a large venue that works well for certain concert experiences, but it's not what I would consider welcoming or inviting. The main issues I have with Astra are the mediocre acoustics, the disadvantageous layout (it's impossible to see anything if you're not in front), and the overall dirtiness of the place. Additionally, its location is right on the corner of Revaler and Warschauer = total foot-traffic clusterfuck. No thanks. One thing I do like is the security guardrail up front, which makes shooting photography at well-attended shows a breeze. But that aside, there aren't many redeeming qualities about this place.

We came here for FKA twigs's concert, and decided to arrive a little later after the doors open…read more The opening act was a DJ and we didn't feel like standing while listening to background music, seems like we were not the only people who thought so, but the entrance and giving out coats at the garderobe still went pretty smooth. Once you get in Theres a smokers zone which smells like hell, and even when it's not wide open you can smell it when you pass by. Inside there were really long lines at the bar but at least the whole area was smoke free. We got ourselves a beer and went to the main hall. So the main hall, Yep - where the stage is. Contained pretty much nothing, all the facilities are in the previous hall. There are 2 large columns pretty close to the stage which kinda block the view if you're planning to stand somewhere on the side. In addition to that the stage is pretty low so I had to stand on the tip of my toes to see something most of the show (I'm not short), it wasn't too comfortable for me and I'm sure the short girls behind didn't have a really good time either - maybe that's why they pushed me in order to get forward. It's a non smoking zone and of course people ignore it completely and light up an occasional cigarette with nobody to tell them to put it off. On the way out we chose to leave a little before the last song so things went a little smoother, but lines did pile up after we left. Some good things- sounds and lightning were great, and the show itself was pretty awesome with some cool vibes an mostly nice people. I'll probably go again if one of my favorite artists will came but I'm definitely not a big fan of this place.

The bar staff were young and not too experienced, but to grab a drink before going to a club, this place is hard to beat.

Overall amazing spot, especially for tourists that aren't in large groups. I stayed way longer than I was expecting to.

Its nice if you get there earlier, as seating is harder to come by as the kids come rushing in. Not good for dancing and its hard to hear people talking...unless you are sitting.

Its nice around 23-24.
