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.

Wild at Heart is one of the best rock bars in the world. It's exactly like the sort of places I…read morelike to hang out back home... only better! 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.

I wish that I lived around the corner, or that they had a spare room for rent on the weekends, just so I wouldn't have to worry about making the trek back home in an exhausted state.

Best prom party for adults…read more You got disco balls here, dudes with coiffed hair, gals with high waisted skirts, and vinyl carts full of the 40's and 50's. I visited three times during a summer in Berlin to listen to visiting bands play Calypso, Folk, and killer 20's Louisiana Jazz, with muted trumpets and all. But the finest offering here is the Burlesque. It puts a** in sassy. Try not chew a finger off. Booze offerings are limited but this is not place to droop over the bar. Except maybe to watch "Das Frauenhaus" playing on one of the walls. Mad I tell you.

The price is always right. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the people who work there and go there are lovely folks. Although the shows are earlier than most venues, it's nice to have some kind of consistency to rely upon. Keep supporting this place because it does a lot of good things for Berlin music.

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. As with most bars in Germany, people smoke inside, which can be a dealbreaker for you especially since it is in a basement and poorly ventilated. 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.
