Kumpelnest 3000

Schöneberg


A former brothel, this trashy bat cave started out as an art project and is kooky and kitsch enough to feature in a 1940s Shanghai noir thriller. Famous for its wild, debauched all-nighters, it attracts a hugely varied crowd, including the occasional celebrity (Kate Moss, U2, Karl Lagerfeld).
