Neukölln
In the warmer months, vibes, views and sounds are the ammo of this club-garden-bar combo on the rooftop parking deck of the Neukölln Arcaden shopping mall. It's a great place for day-to-night drinking and chilling to local DJs or bands. Sustenance is provided. Check the website – these folks come up with new ideas all the time (gardening workshops anyone?).
To get up here, take the lifts just inside the ‘Bibliothek/Post’ entrance on Karl-Marx-Strasse to the 5th floor.
