Monochrome grey walls and huge copper mirrors—themselves sourced from the legendary Palace of the Republic—frame the partially wooden interior of KIM. It’s a very minimalistic Mitte bar, with a small DJ table and just about enough seating for a successful birthday party—small enough to always feel crowded and take comfort in some eccentric self-staging. As such, the owners are open to any kind of hosted venues and parties.

And this is their recipe for success: melting together live music, vernissage parties and latent Mitte coolness with a diversified hipster night program—all far beyond cheesy cocktail hangouts.
