Located in an easy-to-miss side street next to Volksbühne, dimly lit Bar 3 attracts the kind of Berlin crowd that meets after the newest Castorf blow or latest opening at Christian Nagel to discuss, drink and dive into matters of high creative-cool.

The wraparound windows allow an unfettered view into the black-themed locale, so you can freely scope out who’s enjoying a good and low-priced wine at the horseshoe-shaped bar. Though actors, directors and artists are welcome guests, the atmosphere is unpretentious and relaxed—a classic Berlin vibe through-and-through.
