Süss War Gestern

Friedrichshain


A machine-gun-toting rabbit is the ironic mascot of this long-running DJ bar with well-mixed cocktails (try the eponymous Süss War Gestern with real ginger, ginger ale and whisky), dance-inducing electro, and a communicative crowd of locals, newcomers and visitors.

Things can get cosy on weekends, but the second floor in the basement provides relief.
