The Coolest Rooftop Bars In Berlin

Berlin has plenty of cool, unique rooftops where you can appreciate the city’s sunset and nighttime lights or have a delicious brunch. There is sure to be one that fits your budget, style and mood.

1. Klunkerkranich

Bar, Cafe, Pub Grub

Klunkerkranich is situated on the rooftop of a shopping centre

Klunkerkranich is a bar on top of the shopping center Neukölln Arcaden in the southeastern part of the city. It has an awesome view over the charming red roofs of the area and a far but direct view to the TV Tower. The environment is very charming, complete with a lot of wood, gardens, sand, selective music (sometimes live) and fabulous drinks at excellent prices.

Klunkerkranich opens at noon and offers delicious brunch, plus it is family friendly — kids can have fun in the sandbox during summer.

Sometimes, the bar becomes a type of flea market called Kranich Food Market, with street food as the main attraction. In December, a colorful Christmas market takes place on this sixth floor terrace where it is possible to find nice handmade designs plus traditional food and drinks. December also sees specially designed programs in order to experience a special and unique Christmas.

Opening hours: Thur-Fri 4pm-1:30am; Sat-Sun 12pm-1:30am — Closed January and February

There is a cozy and laid back bar with a small terrace. You can get some snacks and enjoy a cold draft beer just in front of the TV Tower, with the best sunset in the world as a backdrop.

If you’re on a budget, they have a great happy hour. You can also join a kicker or pool game.

3. Amano Hotel Roof Terrace

The roof terrace of the Amano Hotel is located in the heart of the city. It is a lounge where you can sip a cocktail while enjoying the fantastic design of the place, good music, and awesome view of the east side of the city.

For a quick but memorable escape from the turmoil of the city, it is the best alternative. The cocktails are well known because of the variety and exclusivity. It is the best place for a romantic date or pre-party, but be prepared to pay more than the average place.

4. Monkey Bar

The decoration is unique, and as a part of the Bikinihaus, it has the Berlin Zoo as a neighbor. Its wild, luxurious atmosphere and cocktails will entice you to stay until late at night.

The Gedächtniskirche, Kurfürstendamm and zoo are part of the great view, with some monkeys appearing during the day at the rooftop restaurant NENI. Do not miss the exotic cocktails and Tiki-inspired drinks like the Monkey Mulata made with Mulata rum, lime, syrup and chocolate foam.
