Wild at Heart

Kreuzberg


Named after a David Lynch road movie, this kitsch-cool dive with blood-red walls, tiki gods and Elvis paraphernalia hammers home punk, ska, surf-rock and rockabilly. It’s really, REALLY loud, so if your ears need a break, head to the tiki-themed restaurant-bar next door. Free concerts on Wednesday.
