The area around Savignyplatz has always been a lively place for cafes and pubs. You meet a mixed, partly intellectual crowd here in the pubs, elegant restaurants and smart shops. Berlin's chic cultural elite frequents the Paris Bar. Schwarze Cafe in Kantstaße is open round the clock and has been a firm favorite with a wide variety of cafe visitors for years. Also very popular are Cafe Aedes under the S-Bahn arches and Cafe Hegel with its Russian atmosphere on the square itself. In Grolmanstaße you tumble from one pub into the next, whether it's the rustic Zwiebelfisch or Florian, both popular haunts for artists. In Terzo Mondo the publican from the TV serial "Lindenstaße" invites you to dine. In Satyam in Goethestraße you can eat your fill of Indian vegetarian food. Knesebeckstraße presents a similar picture. The best-known place here is Schell with its lovely sunny terrace. On the next corner, in Carmerstraße, you find the old Berlin spirit of '68 in the pub Dicke Wirtin. Dralle's, a long-established popular American-style pub, boasts three different saloons. Around the corner, the famous club A-Trane attracts jazz fans from all over the city.
