Went looking around our hotel for somewhere to grab a nightcap and stumbled upon Minimal Bar. As I…read morerecall for a Monday night the hours were something like 7PM to 6AM, so I guess if you're looking to party on a Monday evening, Berlin got just the spot for you. As I recall we showed up around 10 or 11 PM and place was rather empty with some people trickling in and out of lounge area and a handful of people throwing down at the ping pong table. There's some outside seating available as well along the side walk and for the most part, service seemed to be just order at the bar and sit wherever you like. As an incentive to bus your own table, they put a 0.50 euro deposit for any beer bottle you order. If you bring the bottle back to the bar you get your deposit back. Nice way to keep patrons motivated to bring back the bottles and clean up after yourself. I have to say the ambiance of the spot is a bit dark and eerie with the low lights and crazy ass art work on the walls. But one cool thing I noticed is it's DJ booth right at the entrance and they have a live DJ performing every night. Bartender was pretty nice and luckily spoke English so that it was easy to order and ask questions about the drinks which were all reasonably priced. Wouldn't say cocktails are their specialty here, but definitely more of a spot to just hang out at one of the many booths/tables, have a local beer, enjoy the music from the DJ, look at some crazy art, and maybe hit the ping pong table. Not sure I got much else for ya. 'Til next time, cheers! 221/365

With a pure heart I can say that Minimal Bar is my second home. The main reason is probably that it…read moreis close to my home, but I love this place. The atmosphere of the place is always hot especially when the game is ping pong table. If you like this discipline fall into certainly will not be a problem to find a sparring partner. The decor is rather cozy. I must admit that all the paintings on the walls are very interesting and inspiring. Mainly dominate acts of women . Let's get to the most important you will always find here some good music and line up of DJ. You need not be embarrassed if you want dancing. Feel free! Well I can tell you, I invite you to my second home, really it is worth.

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! Ppl were wearing all kinds of different things, just being themselves and having a great time... Ages 18 to maybe even 60+! I wish there was a place like this where I live so I can grow old livin' my best life, too

Schokoladen rules!…read more This is a venue that keeps things real. The bookers are legit, always bringing in awesome bands (both local and from afar). The space is intimate but still not too small. 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.

Maybe she was trying to screen people who responded EDM? This place is pretty small. Basically one room, and a bar to the side. No outdoor space when we went (weather). Also, there's no interesting features inside. The music was a little like Prodigy at times. It was pretty hard, even by Berlin standards. Cover was 8 euros on Thursday. Goes all the way till 9am.

WARNING: Lost coat check ticket = hours in freezing cold with no alternatives…read moreI lost my coat check ticket at Cassiopeia last night. My jacket contained my wallet, ID, and house keys - everything I needed to get home. I immediately went to coat check and explained the situation. I offered to: Describe my jacket in detail Describe everything inside it (including my ID) Show identification through other means Wait inside the venue until 5 AM when they do returns The staff refused all of these options. Their only response: "Come back at 5 AM" or "Come back Monday." When I explained I literally could not go home without my keys and had no money without my wallet, they called security and forced me to leave the club entirely. I was not aggressive, not drunk, not causing any problems - I was a paying customer calmly trying to solve a problem. I was forced to wait outside in 0°C temperatures for hours without a jacket, unable to go anywhere else because all my belongings were locked inside. The issue: Lost coat check tickets happen constantly at every venue. Most clubs have reasonable procedures: verification through ID, jacket description, security deposit, or at minimum letting you wait inside until closing. Cassiopeia's policy is: lose your ticket = you're ejected into the cold with zero alternatives, even if your house keys and wallet are in there. This isn't just bad customer service - it's a safety issue. If you're going here, photograph your coat check ticket or you may end up locked out in freezing temperatures.

Cassiopeia is a very cool beer garden. I was in the area and came in during an afternoon to watch…read morethe boulderers climb. The beer garden is quite literally in a blown up building area where trees provide shade and during the evening are lit up with colored mood lighting. The graffiti gives the area's walls character and are sometimes nice to look at and admire. They have several beers on tap or in the fridge. They use a deposit/return glass scheme where they hand you a button/pin for a euro that you'll have returned once you come back with your empty glass. In my case it's normally exchanged right back for another beer. The spot has themed nights such as disco events and fun international music. As an American, the open consumption laws are very freeing and makes for a very relaxed experience. The staff speaks fluent English but will bear with your as you struggle in broken German.

I tried KIT KAT CLUB but they are super strict on who they let in, idk if it's based on vibes or if you're a foreigner but they did not let us in. I also tried . I also tried getting into the M-BIA club, but they were discriminating again us. They literally eyed us from head to toe and said "It's not possible". This was the only club that let us in so far but this was not the music or vibe i was looking for.
