Writes about food, drink, life, bullshit, and anything else he wants to get off his mind. For Andy, Berlin is like a huge playground for adults – somewhere you can do what you want without having to turn into a real grown-up.

Berlin’s Gin Palace: Payday Friday Falls to Blue Ruin

by
Berlin Loves You Blue Ruin 4

Is gin ruinous? Well, yeah it can be. In 1700s England, gin was the Class-A drug of the time and ruined whole communities. They even had to introduce the 1751 Gin Act to stop people drinking themselves to death in the romantically-named Gin Palaces. But that, as they say, is history. Or is it? These … Read more Berlin’s Gin Palace: Payday Friday Falls to Blue Ruin

Berlin Loves You Cage the Elephant Staqedive

Cage the Elephant and Chrome Pony take to the stage tonight at Postbahnhof for an evening of anarchic garage rock and catchy rock ‘n’ roll tunes.

Hirsch & Eber: the Berlin Burger that’s Wild at Heart

by
BerlinLovesYou-HirschandEber

Hirsch & Eber is a Prenzlauer Berg burger joint with a difference: it specialises in wild boar burgers and venison meat. In the taxi ride over to the restaurant, through Berlin’s snowy streets (thanks, HeyRide!), I was worried that Hirsch & Eber was going to be a little too hip – another of these “what … Read more Hirsch & Eber: the Berlin Burger that’s Wild at Heart

Pitching a Tent: Sunday Burlesque at Tipi am Kanzleramt

BERLIN LOVES YOU Reuben Kaye Burlesque 2

I’ve always subscribed to a nugget of wisdom received from Mr. Ferkel Johnson, that, when it comes to Burlesque and Cabaret, you want to be close enough to the stage to see the performers sweat. But, when I saw the line-up of performers for this Sunday’s 3. Vaudeville Variety Revue at the large Tipi am … Read more Pitching a Tent: Sunday Burlesque at Tipi am Kanzleramt

I’ve come to learn that the correct answers are Tequila and Mezcal, and Friedrichshain’s Santa Maria Eastside is the … Read more Santa Maria Eastside for Berlin’s Best Mexican Cocktails
