Secret Berlin Bar: Stagger Lee

It's a perfect balance between nostalgia and authenticity. The dimly lit, intimate setting, coupled with the tasteful décor, sets the mood for a memorable evening.

Stagger Lee takes its cocktails very seriously. Their extensive list, featuring both classics and innovative twists, has earned them a reputation as one of Berlin's best cocktail bars. If you're looking to start with something that resonates with the era, the "Alabama Song" is a perfect choice. However, don't limit yourself. From the bourbon-heavy cocktails to creative gin and vodka-based mixes, Stagger Lee's drinks will challenge your expectations.

If you're looking to sip on expertly crafted cocktails in an ambiance that feels like stepping into a time capsule, Stagger Lee should be at the top of your Berlin itinerary. Your taste buds and your senses will thank you for the experience.

Next door, at the @akademiederkuenste, the Broken Machines & Wild Imaginings exhibition takes place. This is a large-scale show of ten installations that materialize power and ethics in the context of AI. Exhibition topics range from deep-sea cables as historic power conduits to digital immortality. Today we offer you to attend two @pafberlin performances at once, but you definetly should have lunch before. @hanwest.dumplings offers arguably some of the best dumplings in Berlin, both meat and vegan. All of this, of course, is handmade. At 4 pm at @uferstudios_tanz_berlin, watch 'Devourer': a dance performance inspired by the clown figure and the black hole theory. A body, a bunch of black balls, a clear task and countless greed, Devourer absorbs light, breathes space and materializes time. The performance is only 55 minutes long, so you'll have plenty of time to take a look at @lovestoryofberlin and leaf through the books of contemporary English writers. Jules Petru Fricker performs at @dock_11_ at 21:00 with a solo performance 'between'. The Swiss-Romanian artist, aka LEGZ, takes viewers through a strange sci-fi journey of hope and resilience to revealing himself as gay. Sunday The opening of the @hkw_berlin season is near! The 'Acts of Opening Again' Festival invites you to celebrate it with a series of concerts, lectures, performances, processions, readings and rituals. The festival will open at 13 and will last until midnight. Another chance to dance to your heart's content is the @else_klub open-air dance floor. KiNK, Cora Novoa and End Train promise an exciting electronic playlist for party guests. Are you more of a theater person? The @deutschestheaterberlin says goodbye to outgoing director Ulrich Huon with

Summer is on the doorstep! On the last weekend of May, enjoy fantastic festivals, impressive exhibitions, vinyl — and wash it all down with craft beer: Saturday Start a sunny day on @cafenullpunkt's terrace with coffee and a vegetable sandwich with warm tofu omelet on hot crispy corn rolls. Walk just two blocks and here you are at @berlinischegalerie, where the When Platitudes Become Form exhibition opened just on Thursday. Julius von Bismarck (yes, a descendant of that von Bismarck) explores through the prism of family history how people see nature and how history is written. The “I Like Flowers” series are sculptures of pressed and dried giant plants. Bismarck is hinting here at colonial notions of non-European regions when they are seen as exotic backdrops or escapist projections. We're in Kreuzberg, where the neighborhoods are dotted with trendy vinyl stores. We suggest taking a look at @soundmetaphors – a cozy record shop with an amazing selection of rare house & disco music. A special store runs their own record label as well. Have a hearty lunch at @restaurant_jolesch: we highly recommend trying their Wiener Schnitzel and melt-in-your-mouth apple strudel. And then, if you're not afraid, wash it all down with craft beer at the @hopfenreich_official bar. We collected a whole selection of places with craft beer in the previous post — check it out. In the evening, end your walk on the other side of the Spree, in @darkmatterberlin. German lighting designer Christopher Bauder and British musician Akiko Haruna have combined their talents to create a stunning art installation called "Tensor". The installation is a giant outdoor sculpture that will light up every evening after sunset. Sunday We traditionally dedicate the end of the week to big street festivals: Berliner-adored @karneval.berlin is back this week after three long years. On Sunday, the highlight of the four-day festival awaits with a parade of performers representing different cultures
