Speiches Rock and Blues Kneipe: Handmade Music for Over 30 Years
Anyone looking for live music bars in Berlin will come across this venue at Raumerstraße 39. For more than a quarter of a century, Speiches Rock and Blues Kneipe has been an institution, founded by Jörg „Speiche‟ Schütze, the legendary bassist of the GDR blues band „Monokel‟. The legacy is still palpable today: no club nights, no DJ, but real music operations almost every day of the week.
On Fridays and Saturdays, live music is on the program, featuring the best musicians from the city and the world, blues, acoustic rock, soul, folk, jazz, country, up close and personal, usually in small formations. Sundays offer cheerful tunes from chanson to swing to ragtime, and on Tuesdays, Rockradio broadcasts with artist interviews and live concert segments. The program changes, but the quality remains.
Free Admission, Authentic Sound
What sets this live music bar apart from others: Admission is free, and if you wish, you can play billiards in between or order beer, wine, whiskey, or coffee. The atmosphere is original and cozy, the ceiling full of guitars. So, anyone looking for a Berlin live music bar without bouncers and no minimum spend is in the right place here. Speiches Rock and Blues Kneipe is exactly what it claims to be: a real pub where the music counts.
