Berlin Bars

Berlin has more bars you can shake a cocktail stick at and of course there's some of the best beer on tap. Berlin has been jumping since the twenties and it still continues to be a driving force in decadence and inovation. There's something for everyone here and since re-unification, you can find a great mixture of bars: from quieter watering holes in the East to the full glitz and glam of the West.
