Pinguin Club

An erstwhile cult fave, Pinguin Club is still a popular choice for a night about town thanks to its friendly and open atmosphere. 1950s America is the theme here and you'll find plenty of rock'n'roll memorabilia scattered around the joint - along with several characters who look like they might belong to the Beatnik generation! This bar is most famous however for its dangerously long list of spirits and a punk and alternative playlist. In the madness that ensues, safe to say you're almost bound to 'pick up at Pinguin'.

"The Pinguin Club. Dear Lord. Where do I begin? I read a review whereby someone called it "one of the best bars in Berlin". I sit here deeply concerned for the reviewer in question. Firstly, it is not a club and barely constitutes as a bar.It is a room, a very small room. It promises "delights from the 1950's". The 1950's is probably the last time it was cleaned and that is the only connection there. There is a disco ball, albeit hanging from a rusty nail behind the bar but thats is it. Pleasant bar tender but really the descriptions of this bar bring new meaning to the phrase "misleading". Dreadful."
