Tausend

Just a 12-minute stroll from the Generator hostel on Oranienburger Strasse, Tausend is open as late as you’d expect any self-respecting Berlin bar to be, a chilled out place with DJs where the bouncers won’t subject you to a four-hour ordeal before letting you in. There is Asian and Spanish-American cuisine to enjoy; great, cheap cocktails and to get in you need to go through a “secret door” beneath a railway bridge, so it’s cool if you’re looking for a place where you can indulge your countercultural fantasies.
