monkeykieran Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi all, I'm off to Berlin for the weekend for the first time.

BigfinLatic Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi all, I'm off to Berlin for the weekend for the first time. Anyone got any suggestions for things that you may have done that were slightly out of the usual or interesting? Thanks Went there for my stag do about 4 months ago... but it really depends what you are into, and what you define as 'out of the usual or interesting' ... Going to watch Hertha was wicked, great stadium, great atmos, 8 euro a ticket and beer, beer and more beer in the stadium... However, i have to say most of the weekend was spent listening to very dirty techno, which Berlin is most definitely the european capital of... if clubbing is what you are after, check our either Panorama bar or Bar 25... the latter which is actually basically a shack behind the berlin wall, which also doubles as a circus... with amazing music... if not slightly bizarre when you have just gone 3 days without sleep... Lots of cool stuff... and watch out for them berliners, they are officially mental... none of the gits work as the state pays for them to do what they want, and weekends officially start on thursday and go on till tuesday.... fantastic place....

But I was hoping to do some random odd bits and bobs on Monday and Tuesday if possible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

help_shiny Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 this might seem a bit random but if I may chip in with my own question - anyone know a Techno-centric Radio station in Berlin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincoln_latic Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I used to live in Berlin 83-86 and went back there on holiday 2005. One place we also used to go was a novelty bar in Charlottenburg called Klo's (think that's the right spelling). I think Klo is german slang for toilet, and everything in there is toilet based. Drinks come in Pottys or specimin jars. Some of the tables move like there is an earthquake while your sat at them. Place is usually packed, so you have to get in early. Hope that helps, and hope its still open. There are alos a lot of gentlemans clubs near Charlottenburg railway station, if that's your bag.

Luke Becketts Anchor Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Might be a bit obvious (and not that wacky), but enjoying a beer here is an experience I'd like to repeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeykieran Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Shocking ! Any chance you can give monkeykieran the route map so he can go directly from the airport haha no need for that sort of service for me but thanks Oh and I'm also staying with friends who live there. All they want to do when I'm there is get wasted but I'm hoping not to completely miss the whole experience of the city. The toilet bar sound very funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 There's a great nightclub near Knaack on Greifswalderstrasse. So great I can't remember what it's bleedin' called now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The toilet bar sound very funny Going up the top of the Reichstag is actually worth it if you want an hour or so off the sauce. I found it really striking to see where the wall wasn't, if that makes any sense. It made sense when I realised that every big corporation had gone out of it's way to put something really big and flashy over the minging grey Commie bits of the city by way of comparison, but it's sort of odd now the divide isn't there. That said, if you want to check out any of the older Berlin, the East quarter is (oddly) the place to go. I would have loved to have had time to check out the old East German Parliament building, just to see how wrong modern architecture can get, but down that side there is a lot of the old city left, and nice little bars and so on.
