Between Kreuzberg and Mitte, high above Anhalter Bahnhof: The SOLAR Sky-Bar is perched on the 17th floor of the Excelsiorhaus, offering a 270-degree panoramic view over Berlin. Since 2005, it has attracted celebrities from all over the world, as well as the Berlin nightlife crowd who appreciate style and views.
Berlin’s Most Famous Celebrity Club Above the City’s Rooftops
Since 2005, the name has been enthroned above the rooftops at Anhalter Bahnhof. The Excelsiorhaus on Stresemannstraße appears almost inconspicuous from below, but whoever enters the glazed external elevator immediately understands why so many people fall in love with Berlin here: at a height of 70 meters, the view opens up, first to the Sky Restaurant on the 16th floor, one floor above to the Sky Bar with its breathtaking 270-degree panorama. Exactly this combination makes SOLAR the premier address among Berlin’s celebrity clubs.
Not only well-known artists like Hugh Grant, Scarlett Johansson, or Lady Gaga have spent valuable hours at Solar, but also visionary minds from Berlin. So, anyone entering the red elevator on a Friday evening never quite knows who they will meet up there. That’s part of its appeal.
SOLAR Sky-Bar: Rooftop Glamour with Living Room Atmosphere
Once at the top, guests won’t find a sterile sky lounge ambiance. Instead, they can enjoy the fantastic 270-degree view from comfortable couches, swings, or lounge beds in the separate smoking area, while local heroes and international acts enhance the atmosphere with House, Jazz, Soul, HipHop, and Chillout. Additionally, there’s arguably the most charming detail of the venue: the DJ lift, where the DJ moves up and down between floors with their console, always carrying the vibe.
Since 2013, Executive Chef Jon Kremin has shaped the cuisine with artisanal precision and a keen sense of flavors. His creations stand for high quality and modern interpretations of international influences, served according to the sharing dinner concept. In addition, the bar team creates drinks with local Berlin spirits and in-house infusions. So, anyone who wants to experience a celebrity club evening in Berlin at its best should arrive early enough, catch the sunset, and then just stay.
