Expect to be shot in 8mm at this congenial one-room establishment with a scene of its very own. Although it feels slightly ex-patish at times—the bar is run, after all, by an ’Merican—the bar draws musicians, artists and regular Dieters alike who rely upon its steady hours and dive-bar appeal. A projector screening anything from classics like The Shining to Bob Dylan documentaries helps to enliven even dwindling small talk.

The busiest day is inevitably Fridays, when live music is spun by local DJs ranging from alternative to electro. Its central location on Schönhauser Allee makes the bar a good spot to meet at night, or to finish up during the early morning crawl.
