Another star on the Friedrichshain cocktail firmament is the Chapel Bar. Its 'altar' is helmed
by meister mixer Michael Blair, whose repertory includes both classic and out-there drinks
like the Jägermeister-based Hubertus & Jade. A giant chandelier bathes the otherwise rather
simple room in a complexion-friendly glow.

PLACE CLICHY

Tue-Sat;
Warschauer
Strasse, Warschauer Strasse)
Chapeau!
Clichy brings a whiff of Paris to the lower end of Simon-Dach-Strasse. Candle-lit,
artist-designed and cosy, the postage-stamp-size boîte exudes an almost existentialist vibe,
so don your black turtleneck and join the chatty crowd for Bordeaux and sweaty cheeses.
BAR
BADEHAUS SZIMPLA MUSIKSALON
Simon-Dach-Strasse; Warschauer Strasse, Warschauer Strasse)
The little sister of the famous Szimpla Kert ruin bar in Budapest is now making a splash in
an old Berlin bathhouse. Head past the golden tub for eclectic bathhouse-themed decor,
cheap drinks and a relaxed vibe. With various cultural events and a musical spectrum ran-
ging from swing to soul, the place covers all the bases.
BAR, CLUB
CRACK BELLMER
from
7pm; Warschauer Strasse, M13, Warschauer Strasse)
Behind the requisite street-art-festooned facade awaits an industrial-chic space with vintage
sofas, lofty ceilings and chandeliers. Popular for preparty warm-ups, postparty nightcaps
and any time in between, including Sunday afternoon swing tea dance.
PUB
KPTN A MÜLLER
;
Warschauer Strasse,
Warschauer Strasse)
Arrgh, matey, the captain's in town, bringing much-needed relief from the strip's cookie-cut-
ter cocktail-lounge circuit. Pretensions are checked at the door of this self-service joint
where drinks are cheap and table football and wi-fi are free. The Matterhorn photo wallpa-
per in the DJ room out back makes for an easy conversation starter.
