The Coolest Rooftop Bars In Berlin

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
