20 Best Bars in Berlin
If you’re thinking of heading to Berlin for a stag weekend, you’ll want to know the greatest bars in the city to party.
Like many other German cities, Berlin is renowned for its beers, so you will be spoilt for choice. Still, hopefully our list will narrow it down for you because let’s face it guys- you can’t visit them all, not even the alcohol-loving Father Jack can. Behold, lads! These watering holes are amongst some of the best in Europe, never mind Berlin…

5. Klunkerkranich
We know what you’re thinking; this is a bit of a mouthful. It doesn’t necessarily translate to anything and can be a laugh to shout out loud.
