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 socialites.

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. Or maybe that’s just the point.
