Berlin's best beach bars
Eight unforgettable spots for waterfront cocktails and island vibes in the German capital.
Tropical flair and island relaxation might not be the first things that come to mind when you think of Berlin, but that’s just what you’ll find at its so-called ‘beach bars.’ Mostly situated along the banks of the River Spree, these scenic, occasionally kitschy waterside locales are a great place to catch some rays, sip a cool beverage, and soak up the city’s carefree summer spirit.
Sage is a hip beach bar attached to a restaurant of the same name bordering the south bank of the River Spree in Kreuzberg. Expect stylish beach furniture, fine sand, a leafy wooden deck with steps leading straight to the water, delicious drinks, a menu featuring bar snacks like sweet potato fries, and an African-influenced house music soundtrack. On Sundays, they host an open-air party from 2pm-10pm.
