Café am Neuen See

Had a very romantic time with my wife in this café on a rainy night. Great pizza, great company and a great view of the lake and surrounding chestnut trees. Lichtensteinallee 2, by the park Tiergarten.

Bar am Lützowplatz

This is a bit off the beaten track and highly recommended - the taste of their Dry Martini still lingers in my mouth. Lützowplatz 7.  http://www.baramluetzowplatz.com/

Berliner Weiße

It's not a restaurant. It's not a bar. It's my wifes favourite drink when in Berlin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Weisse

Musikbar Yesterday

We fell through the doors at this strange joint seeking shelter from the rain. The weird interior alone makes it worth a visit in Schönhauser Allee 173. http://www.musikbaryesterday.de/

Meisterschueler Galerie & Bar

Berlin cocktail culture at it's height - the best White Russian I've ever had! Located just above Grill Royal in Friedrichstraße 105b. http://www.meisterschueler.net/

Würgeengel

Recommended by the same guy that sent us to Ankerklause. This Kreuzberg haunt in Dresdener Strasse 122 is all about recreating the vibe from Luis Buñuels 1962 masterpiece 'El angel exterminador'. http://www.wuergeengel.de/

Restaurant Schõnbrun

Superior East German 70's architecture not to be missed, with an idyllic location on Schwanenteich (Swan pond) in the park Volkspark Fredrichshain. http://www.schoenbrunn.net/

A traditional german beer garden with it's origins dating back to 1837 - untouched by the WWII bombings. Make sure to enjoy a Weissbier in these historical surroundings in Kastanienalle 7-9. http://www.pratergarten.de/

Grill Royal

Meat lovers should check out this stylish establishment at Fredrichstrasse 105 B overlooking the river Spree. http://www.grillroyal.com/

Ankerklause

This dive bar was recommended by a friend, and what a great recommendation! A tiny shack with maritime interior directly above the water on the Landwehrkanal. Cheap drinks at Kottbusser Damm 104! http://www.ankerklause.de/

Greenwich

Supercool interior, excellent soundsystem, good music and great drinks. Try their Perfect Manhattan and feel like Don Draper in hyperspace! Find it at Gipsstrasse 5. http://www.greenwichbar.com/

Clãrchens Ballhaus

Clãrchens Ballhaus, situated in Auguststrasse 24, has been a legendary ballroom since 1913. Don't be put off by the stale smell of sweat while entering. This is an amazing place retaining it's original 1920's style. This is where old couples and young hipsters shake their rumps on a crowded dance floor. http://www.ballhaus.de/
