Pawn Dot Com – A Cocktail Empire in the Making

Pawn Dot Com 5

Sharlie Cheen is building a cocktail empire along Torstrasse. Pawn Dot Com. Hardly the classiest bar name in town (it’s actually a wordplay on its location – the former Königliches Leihamt, the emperor’s old personal pawnshop), it’s a new cocktail bar with classy aspirations. It’s part of Dustin Render’s invasion of Torstrasse. An unintentional invasion … Read more Pawn Dot Com – A Cocktail Empire in the Making

Sharlie Cheen: Because Life isn’t All Smoke and Broken Mirrors

Berlin Loves You Sharlie Cheen Bar 4

“All these Berlin bars are shit!”, Sharlie Cheen bar owner Dustin Render began our interview. He then went on to trash everything I look for in a bar: the crappy makeshift furniture, torn sofas, flea market oil paintings, bad lighting, broken mirrors, graffiti, the Paris-Accord-violating levels of air pollution. “People deserve to drink somewhere nice. … Read more Sharlie Cheen: Because Life isn’t All Smoke and Broken Mirrors

With the annual Irish piss-up  cultural celebration that is Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner, we thought maybe it was time to shine some light on a little Irish-tinged Berlin enclave in Prenzlauer Berg that not all of our readers may be familiar with, namely the Badfish Bar on Stargarderstr and its close-by culinary … Read more Bad to the Bone: An Irish Pocket in Prenzlauer Berg

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

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.

These … Read more Berlin’s Gin Palace: Payday Friday Falls to Blue Ruin
