Even for drinking in Berlin this cocktail bar is a bold statement on the Kastanienallee, a trend sensitive bar and the most extreme (and popular) on the stretch. The retro inspired bar fittings and citrus coloured seating are pure design magazine material, oversized flower vases litter the room, vying for aesthetic attention with the wispy catwalk models serving behind the bar. At weekends, Berliners flock here to indulge in brunch, and come night-time the pace picks up with a prowling fashion circus of intensely styled jeunesse doree – especially on a Wednesday for the weekly electro-indie night, the KingKongKlub. The lounge also hosts a gallery/bar called Vorspiel, which has live music, DJs and art exhibitions from Wednesday until Saturday (open from 8pm).
