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.

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.

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+!

What,you don't know what it's like? nevermind,one day little one,one day.....

I'm not going to review the gig as I don't think you would be able to handle all of the !!!! and \,,/ that it would include,but at the end of the day the 5 stars are more for Dust Bolt and Kreator than the venue itself,although the venue (KesselHaus) was a really good place to hold such a gig,what with it's concrete walls and amply stocked bar being a rather nice feature : ) We got there at around 19:30 and staggered away at about 2am,having spent a great night in the company of some lovely German Metalheads enjoying some of the best Metal this great country has to offer.

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.

Open thursday, friday and saturday nights, the "Kallasch&" - as its signature neon light reads - is all about quality live music (mostly singer/songwriter stuff with a twist; local artists as well as international ones on the road) but also live jams, open mic nights or a music quiz night. Not a single night where you JUST have to lounge in that cozy vintage atmosphere you'll love while sipping on a cold local brew served by the friendly hosts of this Moabit gem.

If you go to Supamolly you might feel as if you missed the spot because to get to the concert area…read moreyou have to go through a small bar at first. The door to the concert areal opens at about ten, but may vary. They have plenty of hallways, corners and steps to stride along after which you come into the first room, which is the bar kind of loungy area. All equipped with rather worn down sofas, quite trashy (Berlin style). Two small alleyways spit you onto the concert floor with the stage, where it usually gets loaded full and crammed. If you want it a bit quieter, make your way up the metal spiralstairs which lead to the bar and toilets. From here you also have a great view on the dancing crowd and on the stage. Grab a Club Mate vodka ! and let your eyes indulge in the artwork that has been scattered all over the place..paintings, statues..and the dj, which stands on a small platform only and uses digital equipment in his small cell to make the whole sound possible. The sound really can be anything, they have livebands ranging from jazz over hardcore to art-noise. Though they host ska bands mainly.Ocassionally they have a special Rattenbar called gayparty too, but anyone is welcome. Several times a year there is also a theatrefestival with a variety of artists showing what they can. Youll find yourself very likely in the position of seeing a band never thought could of existed before and then really liking them.Its alwayssmth special going on. Afterwards there are always Djs till real early in the mroning with all kinds of music styles(Drum n Bass, Jungle, Raggea,20s, Electro) Entrance fee is mostly 4EUR which is very cheap- the drinks are too. The people are very mixed, mostly 20to 40, but everything is possible. You know this feeling ofaaah why have guys like those have to hang out here I never had it when I was there, everyone is relaxed and there to have fun. One negative thing at times can be the toilets..but use the ones in the entrancebar and you should be fine. Oh and you can smoke..whatever In summer they have a campfire in the backyard.

I have been to many outdoor concert arenas all over the world but none as unique as Waldbuhne. What…read moremakes Waldbuhne stand out is that even though the arena seats 23000+ people all the seats have great sight lines and viewing angles due to the incredible steepness of the stairs and arena. The venue was built in the 1930's and I doubt it would be legal to build today. We were lucky to attend the final show of the Depeche Mode Spirit Tour here on July 25th and it was fabulous. Great sound that is pushed directly at you (angle of the arena) and there was plenty of light shows during the concert. The only drawback to Waldbuhne is the stage is on the smaller side so a performer such as Dave Gahan of DM was a bit more limited in his dance and moves compared to other similar arenas. Food, drinks and toilets are all on the "mid level" of the arena and pretty easy to get to. The crowd was pumped and going crazy the entire concert as DM have a storied history in Berlin (recorded music here) and this was the final concert of a very long tour. Waldbuhne was a great place to see a concert and I would gladly come again in the future.
