Nursing a drink or a coffee (sandwich, soup, or delicious baked good completely optional but…read morerecommended) in a spacious hipster chic venue (à la your grandmother's living room), laptop in tow, hoping to get some work done? Don't worry, this isn't Mitte. This is Neukölln, so you'll definitely find a seat where you can type away in peace.
And much like Berlin, Prachtwerk is whatever you want it to be. I've stopped by whenever I wanted a relaxing place to work with friends--the fact that you can buy food and alcohol makes the work go by even quicker! +1 for the city's freewheeling, entrepreneurial spirit because if my experiences are anything to go by, no one at Prachtwerk will raise an eye if you 1. order a cocktail in the early afternoon or 2. hunker down for a few hours. I found the drink prices to be relatively standard for Berlin as a whole, but they might be a little expensive for Neukölln: €7 for the Adult Lemonade (lavender lemonade with either gin or vodka) and €6.50 for a gin and tonic. Chase it down with a slice of one of their delicious cheesecakes. (I'm partial to the Oreo one.)
Hint: grab a seat on one of the elevated couches that overlook the stage at the end of the venue. There are regular events that take place in the evenings so you can wrap up your daytime work and ease your way into nighttime festivities without having to find a new seat!
