I am a night owl, and Berlin rewards that. When other cities have long been asleep, here I can still find a warm breakfast, a cold beer or a bouquet of flowers. These places have often saved me, late after a party or early before a long day. I am happy to share my tried-and-true addresses.
Between Alexanderplatz and Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, this snack bar operates without a closing time: Döner, kebab, and fries remain in the single-digit euro range, eaten on-site, taken away, or delivered. ALIBABA BISTRO fills up especially when the surrounding clubs and bars release their guests onto the street and hardly any other kitchen nearby is still operating.
An old-school corner pub on Yorckstraße in Kreuzberg, with draught beer, pavement tables and no closing time. Prices stay in the single-digit range, the bar itself is the real meeting point, and anyone arriving from Gleisdreieck Park or from under the railway arches will find a seat and a freshly tapped beer at any hour of the night.
The Charlottenburg original at Stuttgarter Platz was opened by the Schneider family after the First World War and has borne its current name since 1974. Becks, Köpenicker, Erdinger, and the in-house Hecht Pils are on tap, along with Unertl wheat beer, wines from Reibold, meatballs (bouletten), lard bread, a Wurlitzer on the wall, and free Wi-Fi.
The Turkish bakery on Oranienstraße operates non-stop, filling its display with spinach strudel, sesame rings, almond croissants, and walnut baklava. The selection is vast, prices remain in the single digits, and anyone looking for something warm after a night out at the clubs near Kottbusser Tor will find the quickest solution here.
The pub on Seestrasse in Wedding operates without a closing time and keeps prices in the single-digit range. Beer is tapped, and there are shots and long drinks; take-away is also available. Located between Volkspark Rehberge, Schillerpark, and Virchow-Klinikum, the place is equally the nearest bar for both locals and night shift workers.
On Schönleinstraße, dolls, old bicycles, and instruments hang on the walls, a foosball table stands in the middle, and the drink selection ranges from beer to cocktails at affordable prices. The pub has been running for decades without a closing time, appears in Sven Regener's novel Herr Lehmann, and is considered by many to be the last stop of a long evening.
Located directly at Hermannstraße U- and S-Bahn station, this pub describes itself as an institution for over 25 years. It operates without closing hours, accepts cash payments only, has a smoking area, free Wi-Fi, and offers the option to rent the space for private parties. Prices remain in the lower double-digit range per person.
Located on Frankfurter Allee, this Späti combines a kiosk, mini-market, and liquor store, operating without closing hours. In addition to drinks, snacks, and basic groceries, it offers a bar selection with cocktails to go. Between Frankfurter Tor and the Samariter district, it's the go-to place for everything that would otherwise have to wait until morning.
The supermarket on Berliner Straße in Wilmersdorf offers the full range of a large full-service retailer and operates without nightly interruption. Fresh counters, baked goods, beverages, and drugstore items are all under one roof, the Berliner Straße subway station is just a few steps away, making this EDEKA the nearest true shopping destination for half the city.
The pub on Sonnenallee belongs to a small Neukölln family of three Bierbaum venues and runs without a closing hour. Inside there is a jukebox, a pool table, an electronic dartboard and slot machines, plus a smoking corner, Prosecco for four euros and phone charging for one euro per half hour. Schultheiss is served straight from the keg.
