Monkey Bar

City West & Charlottenburg


On the 10th floor of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, this mainstream-hip ‘urban jungle’ delivers fabulous views of the city and Zoo Berlin while the menu gives prominent nods to tiki concoctions (great Mai Tai!) and gin-based cocktail sorcery. Come early for chilled sundowners on the sweeping terrace. Different DJs spin nightly Friday to Sunday, from 4pm.
