Anti special treatment vs. micro disguise

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

I love when a venue builds a world around the brand….the road to success.

FREAKSHOW No.1 at Staggerlee

My poor translation:
For every Laiendarsteller (what’s the English word?) and big city performer.
Dresscode = be strange
» Minimalverkleidungspflicht « (third eye, twelfth finger, limp leg, bad hair, evil accent…)

This I can’t translate
+ Moustache Zwirbelkurs
+ Trashfunk und Pimmelpunk aus den Boxen
+ Hahnenschwanz im Glas

Happy Hour -> Buy 2 get 1 (I guarantee there’s excellent mixology going on!)

Tonight, 21h – ?

Entrance with guest list €10, without free.

The Power of Positive Drinking

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Watermelon Man. A cocktail you can get in close to every bar in Berlin. Allegedly invented by Thomas Pflanz, a Berlin mixologist, in 1996.

Still not sure what I think about it but here’s Thomas’ recipe if you feel like testing.

6-8 cl vodka
2-3 cl watermelon liqueur (marie brizard)
1 cl grenadine
2-3 cl fresh squeezed lemon juice
6 cl orange juice

Shake with ice and serve.

Stop complaining and enjoy yourself!

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

“A bar (also called a pub, tavern, beer garden, or saloon) is an establishment that serves alcoholic drinks — beer, wine, liquor, and cocktails — for consumption on the premises.

Bars provide stools or chairs that are placed at tables or counters for their patrons. Some bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live band, comedians, go-go dancers, or strippers.

Types of bars range from “dives” to elegant places of entertainment for the elite.”
#Wikipedia definition.

Went to Kingsize last Saturday when Pierre was playing (ace set!). Maybe my 3rd time there? They do serve alcoholic drinks but unfortunately there are no go-go dancers (except for the self-proclaimed chease sniffers), it’s over-crowded and too smokey. And yes, I’m getting old!

- and then Monday is Sunday

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

My sister is visiting = double trouble. If you need some weekend planning inspiration here’s our schedule (according to plan but plans like rules are made to be broken – or changed).

Starting tonight with a vernissage somewhere at Unter den Linden. I actually have no clue what it’s about. Sarah invited us. Then dinner at Cream including vodka/rhubarb, a Doppelkorn for digestion and a dance while saying hi to the Italian Stallion.

Friday: work, lunch with Felix, work, work and then dinner at Bandol. Maybe going to the roof for a drink and then call it the night.

Saturday is BUSY. Don’t know about the order yet on but One Year Anniversary + Soju Bar opening at Kimchi Princess, friends playing at Bar 25 + Iva’s man playing at Kleine Reise.

Kuchi‘s bday party on Sunday + boat trip with former employer followed by dinner with business partners.

Soundtrack for take off …

Peter, you get the remote!

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Most of the times when Flavour and Peter play together (as Dirt Crew) they reach a certain hour (or should I say mental/physical condition) where Peter goes harder, deeper, meaner.

I LOVE it! Flavour doesn’t. But guess what, on Thursday Peter isn’t playing with Flavour but with Daniel. I just hope Daniel won’t be too “Disco, disco!” (say it like Zohan).

Thursday at Farbfernseher.

One opening after the other

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Summer is truly being kicked off with a number of new venues around the city – and the well known spots getting ready for another (hopefully fantastic!) season.

I put together a list for you. Below the photo. Places that are “must experience” this season.


Photo from LastNightsParty

King Size?
New bar from the people behind Grill Royal located in Friedrichstraße close to Oranienburgerstraße. I went on the opening night but I’m not sure about the name. Was it “King Size”? Bar Tausend watch out for competition!

Tausend in the sky
Soon to open again. The roof terrace venue in Kreuzberg located in the same building as Kimchi Princess. Great for a sundowner drink or pre-clubbing on a warm night.

Chipps
New restaurant run by Cookie and his team. As mentioned, I went to the opening last Saturday and looking forward to go back and test the food! I’m sure I will spend several late summer nights outside on the terrace.

Resort
The Rodeo jungs are behind this new venue. A restaurant located at the river. Opening tomorrow! More info will follow.

Soho House
With a pool on the roof terrace this venue will probably host some great parties this summer. I believe the opening is on May 4th? At least that was the last info I got per mail.

WEEKEND Roof
Opening tomorrow, Thursday. Many great Summer evenings and Sunday afternoons to come will be spend there!

BAR 25
Does this place need and introduction? Opening on April 30th, 23:59. Reinfeiern!

- and I heard rumours aaaages ago that another very wellknown face from the Berlin nightlife is planning to open a bar….still waiting for hard facts.

Plastic Fantastic?

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

So I’m on the look out for new venues and a break from the “Been there, seen that Mitte-halli galli”. Was thinking Barbie Deinhoff’s. Any good?

There’s a party on Wednesday. Maybe one should go for an inspection. From 21:00.

Tonight, 22:00 at KIM Berlin

900 seconds

“A chance for everyone to have 15 mins of fame by playing whatever music or sound they damn well want. If you want to play, just arrive with 900 seconds of audio on any format before 10pm.”

- this could be really fun or really bad (for your ears)

Better not drink shots at Trinkteufel

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Apperantly Pete Doherty felt the consequences when he was recently arrested in the Kreuzberg area of Berlin. Story from nme.com.

Of course there is a different story to it but I found this quote funny. It’s the bartender from Trinkteufel describing Pete + friends’ behaviour.

“The three of them had just come from Wiener Straße. There they’d been tossed out of a bar,” a bartender from the Trinkteufel club told Bild. “I almost threw Pete out [of Trinkteufel] too. He was drinking shots and constantly asking about cocaine.”

“I almost threw Pete out too. He was drinking shots and constantly asking about cocaine.” Maybe one has to live in Berlin to get the joke but I think it’s funny.
