In-Bars 2026

The 100 Gramm Bar is located on Weinbergsweg, a one-minute walk from Rosenthaler Platz, and offers around 25 vodka varieties, eleven of which are homemade infusions. Four signature martinis are on the menu for 14 euros, and since 2024, the lounge next door spans two floors. As a trendy bar in Mitte, it operates until late into the night.

At Schiffbauerdamm, next to Friedrichstraße S-Bahn station, only a steel door without a sign leads into Bar Tausend. The space is a converted railway arch where photography is prohibited and, due to its structure, there is no mobile phone reception. Every cocktail has its own playlist. For scene bars in Mitte, this has been the benchmark for over a decade.

Beuster Bar sits at the corner of Weserstraße and Weichselstraße in Neukölln, in a building that belonged to a transport company in 1905 and gave the bar its name. A ceiling painting by Gabriela Jolowicz hangs above the counter, and the wine list is built almost entirely around natural wine. As a trendy bar in Kreuzkölln, it is the go-to spot for oysters.

Since 1998, 'An einem Sonntag im August' has been a part of Kastanienallee and is still known in the neighborhood as Cafe Sonntag. Outside, there's a large terrace; inside, Hollywood swings are nestled among sofas and a mirrored bar. A draft Pils costs 2.90 Euros. Among the trendy bars in Prenzlauer Berg, this is the place without any door policy.

At Torstraße 164, in the backyard of the former Royal Pawn Shop, only a small blue neon sign points the way to the Pawn Dot Com Bar. Walls and floor are covered with graffiti by AkteOne, and every cocktail is served with a matching side drink. Payment is by card only. Among the scene bars in Mitte, this one has the most beautiful backyard.

Nathanja & Heinrich is located at Weichselstraße 44, a side street off Weserstraße, and is named after its two managing directors. Three rooms with high ceilings, a smoking and a non-smoking area, plus wooden benches outside against the wall. The sandwich of the day costs 8 Euros. A trendy bar in Neukölln for long evenings.

Café Luzia is located at Oranienstraße 34, filling approximately 250 square meters with fifties vintage furniture, murals by Chin Chin, and lots of candlelight. Reservations are generally not taken, and DJs play in the back room on weekends. A Negroni costs 12.50 Euros. A typical start to a long night as a scene bar in Kreuzberg.

At Lychener Straße 15 in Prenzlauer Berg, Zu mir oder zu dir looks like a stranger's apartment: seventies sofas, red light, and changing color projections on the walls. Smoking is allowed inside, entry is free, a DJ plays on many nights, and guests get their drinks themselves at the bar. Among Berlin's trendy bars, this is the most laid-back.

Fahimi Bar is located on the first floor above Kottbusser Tor, accessible via a stickered door and a dark staircase. From the window seats, you can overlook the roundabout and the passing elevated train, while inside, the bar is centrally placed in the room. Signature cocktails cost 11.50 Euros. Since 2013, it has been one of the established scene bars in Kreuzberg.

Bar 3 is located in a dead-end street at the end of Linienstraße, diagonally opposite Soho House and a few steps from the Volksbühne. A horseshoe-shaped bar counter occupies almost the entire room; seating is only available on stools and window sills. Kölsch is served in tall, slender glasses, and refills are provided until a coaster is placed on the glass.
