It was on the rooftop of a parking garage attached to a mall, and it was a little adventure getting there! We went on a weeknight around shortly after sunset, and it was such a vibe!! It felt a little sketch walking up the ramp of a deserted parking garage but it was all part of the allure, and once we got up to the rooftop, it was a beautiful space decked out with colorful lights, plenty of seating at communal table, and a vibrant crowd. The city views were amazing and it was definitely a highlight of the trip!

In general has a really nice vibe and it's a fun adventure to get there but probably best if you go with someone who knows the way (just in case)

On my way to get a drink at a neighboring bar, I saw this place and decided to sit in their cofy vintage furniture outside with a beer. Honestly, the place looks exactly like 3 or 4 other bars that have cropped up in Boddinstrasse: random furniture from the nearest Flohmarkt, just one Pilsner on tap, a shabby paint job and bartenders that are sweet and almost too relaxed. Some people get really annoyed by these type of Berlin bars and frown down upon these sorts of establishments. Personally, I actually enjoy them, especially when comparing them with the type of sterile bars popping up in Mitte. Everything is nicely understated and the atmosphere is condusive for a nice chat with a group of friends around some cheap beers. After all - what more do you really need? They seem to have some freshly-squeezed lemonade on the menu, but I will have to come back another time to give it a shot.

When I asked if we could take an adjacent table with four normal chairs, we were told it was for six persons (because it also had two extra "seats" on the heating). Again, the bar was almost empty. I understand, as a bar owner, you don't want duos occupying tables for four or more, but this was ridiculous. There are plenty of more friendly bars around this one where waiters don't give you an attitude or tell you off. Best to avoid.

Lerchen+Eulen is one of these places. it's been one of my go-to spots in this neighborhood for years and i don't see that changing. Svenja's review is right on: there are plenty of bars like this around Berlin --cozy secondhand furniture jumbled together like a bad Tetris game, warm low lighting, great coffee+alcohol-- but the specific details set it apart. the staff are amazingly friendly (seriously, i wonder where they find these saints!), their cakes are always delicious and the perfect balance to their coffee, and you can get whatever kind of seat your little heart desires: curling-up-with-book benchseats in the big windows, working-with-laptop table seats, barstools for hanging with the bartenders, cuddling-sofas, and outdoor tables in summer for people-watching. it's a great spot for most times: earlier in the day, it's mellower and emptier (and less like a smokehouse), so is nice for working or catching up with friends. the wooden-tiled floors (very cool!) and brick archways, the old jazz and blues on the stereo, the old chairs and wooden tables decorated with fresh flowers and candles in big jars, make the space feel somehow a bit like a country inn during the day, a perfect pause from the bustle of the Markthalle next door. when Lerchen+Eulen fills with people at night, the dense layout and multiple rooms make for a wonderful coziness for huddling together...and Drinking (with a capital 'D'). Svenja's right, their Moscow Mules hold their own, but they're also one of the few bars in the area to serve the delicious local Potsdamer Stange beer from the Braumanufaktur. all in all, a perfect addition to your full weekend ritual on Pücklerstrasse: stop by the Pony Hütchen for second-hand gear+furniture, then the Markthalle Neun for groceries+lunch, then to Lerchen+Eulen for all your caffeinated and alcoholic needs...
