Strandbar Mitte

"Yes I do love to be beside the Spree..." Ok, so it's not quite as much fun as being beside the seaside, but a trip to Strandbar, or one of Berlin's other beach bars, is certainly a great substitute for city-dwellers. Located in Monbijou Park, just next to the river Spree and opposite Museuminsel, Strandbar offers Berliners a delightful location for reclining on deckchairs, sipping a cold beer and waving at passing boats. The vibe is cool, laidback and sophisticated and parties can go on here long after dusk. It's amazing what an effect 250 tonnes of imported sand can have!
