Yeti has returned back to the coast of Brighton after an intense weekend in Berlin. Aside from taking advantage of the cheap booze, puking up delicious shawarma and munching 2cb beans like peanuts, we managed to hit up a few venues which we highly recommend!
Club Der Visionaire
Am Flutgraben 2, Berlin, Germany 12435
Relaxed bar located by the river, while the venue stretches out to multiple levels consisting of various seating areas and hang out spots, a platform is extended to the river where you can find a lively crowd mingling under a giant willow tree. The relaxed international crowd could be seen in comparison with the atmosphere of Van Viang tubing! 2 euro entry, 2 euro beers, ambient techno- chill or be chilled!
Heinz Minki
Vor dem Schlesischen Tor 3 10997 Berlin, Germany 030 6953-3766
On the other side of the river situates the outdoor bar of Heinz Minki, a mellow yet vibrant bar surrounded by greenery, perfect surrounding to shy away from the sun. Go grab yourself a bevy + fresh pizza and dip your feet in the closest mini paddling pool, yas!
Suicide Circus
Revaler Straße 99, 10245 Berlin, Germany
Located in the bar/club area of Caseopeia, the vibes of Suicide Cirus is where industrial ruggedness meets neon hipness. The anal doorman reflects the selective crowd within the club. Although the no photo policy could normally be seen to constitute the exclusiveness of a venue, in Berlin this rule is simply enforced to prevent any evidence of vomiting pill heads in the dark corners and speeded up techno freak in the front line. This prevents bad press for the club and provides a safe haven for wreck heads to chew their faces off all night without having to worry about being tagged on facebook the next morning by your new mate maximillian, whom you met in the que for the toilet…
YAAM
Stralauer Platz 35 10243 Berlin, Germany 030 6151354
Self titled ‘young african art market’or what i consider as ‘the coolest Caribbean squat in the world’ is located opposite Berlin Ostbahnhof station along the east side of the Berlin wall. The colourful street style decorated venue is predominantly open air with 4 bars, a volleyball court, basketball court, skate ramp and main stage for live music. During the day the place is packed with people of all ages, perfect atmosphere to watch Germany annihilate Argentina in the World Cup while munching on some tasty jerk chicken and sipping on some ‘Afri Cola’ in the sun! At night international and local acts cover the bill with the likes of Dead Prez, Eek A Mouse, The Mighty Pow Wow Zion Train. YAAM is most definitely your summer time cotch!
Maria
Stralauer Platz 33 10243 Berlin, Germany 030 2123-8190
Located at the end of the East side gallery, right next to river Schilling Brucke. This cool hang out made up of exciting artwork and extraordinary lighting sets the perfect mood for clubbers. While the choice of music covers Tech-house to Drum & Bass. Sunday night winds down the week with of 60′s Disco which goes hand in hand with the relaxed atmosphere in the outdoor deck area where hammocks and deck chairs are scattered about. If it wasn’t for the loud American traveller trying to speak broken German to a group next to you, one could easily drift off to never never land!
Oskreutz
S-Bahnhof Ostkreuz Markgrafendamm 24c Berlin, Germany
Oskreutz is A industrial venue located by a high way cross over with a little red door. The club would otherwise be unnoticed if it isn’t for the meat head doormen and the large crowd of ravers in the front. We attended ://About blank, a tehcno/house night featuring a list of Berlin based DJ’s: Marc Schneider, Sasse, Elie Eidelman as well as one of UK’s finest tech-house producers Ewan Pearson. The club is 2 floors, indoors/outdoors and the weekend events last 48 hours, so bed time is nowhere near! Indoor dance floor is practically a large corridor with windows which tint red when the sun comes up. The outdoor area is a semi-trimmed forest made up of random seating arrangements, dj booth and bar. A glowing carrivan along with other tents and comfy corners in the forest acts as a private booths for those who want to get away from the party. Personally the foozeball table seemed to be the place where we spent our early hours, eagerly competing over the sound of electric rain drops!
