Retro is right now at this neighbourly self-service retreat where you can check out passing
eye candy through the big window or lug your beverage to the dimly lit back room for quiet
bantering. On Wednesday nights it's a launch pad for the local gay party circuit.

Men-Film-Cruising: Greifbar's motto says it all. This Prenzlauer Berg staple draws a mixed
crowd of jeans, sneakers, leather and skin sniffing each other out below the big-screen video
in the bar before retiring to the sweaty play zone in the back. Beers are two-for-one on
Mondays.

This place has seen beer-soaked nights since 1837, making it Berlin's oldest beer garden. It's
kept much of its traditional charm and is still perfect for guzzling a custom-brewed Prater
pilsner beneath the ancient chestnut trees (self-service). Kids can romp around the small
play area. In foul weather or winter, the adjacent beer hall is a fine place to sample classic
Berlin dishes (mains €8 to €19).

This living-room-style wine bar works on the honour principle: you 'rent' a wine glass for
€2, then help yourself to as much vino as you like and in the end decide what you want to
pay. Please be fair and do not take advantage of this fantastic concept.
