This weekend the notorious Bar 25 celebrates its 5th birthday. We don’t need to tell you that this is the place to be for the young and restless of Berlin, because that’s not really news. But what you might not know is that the Bar 25 is more than just the most celebrated outdoor club in town. It’s also a restaurant, a hostel, a spa, a movie theatre and a caterer. They also run a radio show that you can receive via iTunes and a record label. Read on for more images and insights.
The hostel is embedded into the green behind the bar and the restaurant and offers a handful of adorable and cosy little 2 bed cabins and one with 4 beds including blankets, towels and shared bathrooms with hot showers. For more infos and reservations call +49-(0)178 204 52 06 or mail to hostel (at) bar25.de.
The restaurant offers an interesting and creative mix of international and local dishes including thai, new zealand, alpine and mediterranean cuisine. It is open Tuesdays to Saturdays between 18 h and 1 h. You need to make a reservation by calling +49-(0)157 71 53 04 25. Take a look at the menu here.
The spa offers a variety of massages including Watsu, Shiatsu, hot stone, Tuina, hot oil, Thai and foot reflex zone, as well as acupuncture and a sauna. The massages range from 15 EUR (for 20 min) to 44 EUR (60 min) and the sauna costs 8 EUR including towel. You need to make a reservation, call +49-(0)176-248 99 367.
The radio25 ond station25 is on air every Wednesday between 9 and 12h. Tune in on their live stream here. You can also download archived radio shows as podcasts here.
The circus area offers public movie screenings of alternative, festival and classic movies on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday at 21:30h. You can enjoy the film with a fresh pizza and juices.
To enter the grounds of Bar 25 you usually have to pay an entrance fee of a few euros, depending on the day. The bar is often critisied for its harsh door policy, so don’t come dressed like a wall flower or you might not get in on a busy day. You also should not come in large groups.
This summer is supposed to be the last year for the Bar 25. But they already said that last year so maybe we are lucky and they will re-open next year. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this unique place will stay a little longer.
