Berlin not only offers exciting bars on every corner of the city, but also some of the best rooftop bars and sky bars, which provide unparalleled views of the Berlin skyline. Here are five breathtaking spots where you absolutely must enjoy a few cocktails or drinks above the city’s rooftops:
1. Sphere Bar in Berlin’s TV Tower
The Sphere Bar is the highest bar in the city and the highest bar in Germany located inside a building, offering spectacular views from a height of 203 meters in the Berlin TV Tower. In addition to creative beer cocktails developed in collaboration with the trendy Berlin beer label BRLO, you can enjoy breathtaking views of all of Berlin here. It’s especially worth a visit in the evening when the city lights are twinkling, but even for a sundowner, you’ll create unforgettable moments in this futuristic-looking bar!
Pro Tip: At the Sphere Bar, you can enjoy heavenly snacks from Michelin-starred chef and TV star Tim Raue, such as his infamous meatball or the Berlin classic, the currywurst. Book your ticket here now and save!
2. Monkey Bar
Located on the 10th floor of the Hotel Bikini Berlin, the Monkey Bar offers a fascinating view of the Berlin Zoo and the western skyline. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with delicious cocktails and small plates from the NENI kitchen, makes it one of the city’s most popular hangouts and, as a result, a cool rooftop bar in Berlin.
3. Klunker Crane
This rooftop garden in Neukölln is more than just a bar. The Klunkerkranich offers not only drinks but also a diverse cultural program. From here, you have a wonderful view of the city and can enjoy a cocktail in a relaxed atmosphere as the sun sets. The Klunkerkranich is a unique cultural oasis on the roof of the Neukölln Arcaden. For the past 10 years, this rooftop garden has offered a mix of club culture, live music, DJ sets, and performances, all with a magnificent view that includes the Berlin TV Tower. In addition to green outdoor spaces for urban gardening, there are two indoor areas: the *Wohnzimmer, a bar with a cozy atmosphere, and the *Club “Hinter den Alpen,” which focuses on electronic music. A new addition is the *Ostflügel, a growing outdoor space for future events—the perfect Berlin skybar.
4. Rooftop One Bar Berlin-Upper West
Right in the heart of City West, on the 10th floor of Motel One Berlin-Upper West, you’ll find a rooftop bar with a truly impressive view. From the terrace, you can look out over the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, Bikini Berlin, and the Zoo—and on a clear day, even as far as the Berlin TV Tower. This makes the Rooftop One Bar a great spot for anyone who likes to enjoy a drink with a view of the skyline.
