"On beautiful afternoons and evenings, one of the best places in the city to drink is this lively courtyard biergarten—surrounded by the century-old building's decaying facade (destroyed during WWII), fairy lights, and long communal tables. The bar is an institution in Berlin, so be sure to explore. Once you're past the Otto Dix–designed sign outside, head up the creaking stairs to find the Spiegelsaal, or mirrored ballroom: With a little help from the imagination, it’s easy to picture this venue back to the hedonistic days of the Weimar Republic." - Krystin Arneson
