Kurvenstar
Totally stylish club -the staff is often arrogant and it attracts a colourful crowd of people out for a good time. But that's what makes this place in hectic Mitte so cool. Maybe the burgers, sandwiches or trendy sushi will tempt you. If you happen to hit lucky at the door you can test it out for yourself.

Not to be missed -here you can still find the unsullied spirit of the era after the fall of the Wall: offbeat, commited and irrepressably lively. Schoko-laden is not only popular with the punks round the corner but with all kinds of people. Tu+Th cocktails with DJ. Fr+Sa live music.
