Astra Kulturhaus

Friedrichshain


With space for 1500 in the former cultural hall of a Cold War–era train repair station, Astra is one of Berlin's bigger indie concert venues, yet it often fills up easily, and not just when international headliners hit the stage. In addition, parties lure punters with danceable tunes across the sound spectrum.

Bonus: the sweet vestiges of ’50s decor.
