The question is, with so many places you can order beverages, how do you decide where to buy them?
For me, the answer is simple. Gekko is a specialized drink shop that also happens to be a leftist collective. So obviously I want to put my money there.
The warehouse is hidden in the back of an industrial-esque complex along Köpeniker Strasse. Inside there are juices, waters, beer, sodas, and more. They also offer speciality drinks like local ciders, colas, vodkas, etc. So not only is it a good place to buy drinks, but also a good place to discover new available products. Also, the prices can't be beat.
We bought a ton of drinks here for our wedding reception and it was very affordable. They offer delivery and pick-up for an extra cost, but we had a vehicle so did it ourselves. Then, when the party was over, we returned our empty crates for deposits and brought back full crates, which they buy back for the same price, minus a €1 each.
Be aware that you have to be a member to buy here, but the sign-up process is only about 10 minutes and includes some paperwork to fill out. After that, every visit is easy in, easy out. read more
