The Best Bars In Berlin - Berlin - The Infatuation

"It’s easy to walk past Chausseestrasse 131 late on your way home and be tempted in by its lustful red glow for one last cocktail and shuffle on the black-and-white checkered floor. Although technically more of a club, 131 Bar is worth popping into for a drink and dance if you’re in the area on the weekend (it’s only open on Friday and Saturday nights). The historic old building hosts a diverse arts program, including exhibitions, dinners, screenings, and events. It feels exclusive, and once you’re in, it’s hard to shake the feeling that you’ve just gatecrashed a house party you weren’t invited to. Like any Berlin bar worth its salt, you won’t be kicked out until past 4am." - olivia ladanyi
