Sankt Oberholz (Rosenthaler Strasse 72a, Berlin, Germany)

Sankt Oberholz sits right on the corner of Rosenthaler Platz in Berlin’s lively Mitte district. Back in the twenties the then called “Aschinger Neunte Bierquelle” was a meeting point for the city’s artists and creative class.

In Alfred Doblin’s “Berlin Alexanderplatz” – a classic of modern German literature – this bar is mentioned a lot. Today this tradition lives on as this bar is nurtured by the creative surrounding and still welcomes young guests from around the world.

Many media and internet people come here – and bring their laptops with them. Your friends can use the free wireless internet to write emails or spend some time online. You can tell by the numerous power outlets that laptop users are very welcome.

The bar stretches over two floors. From the top – just above busy Rosenthaler Platz – your friends will enjoy the view from the inside, relaxing in comfy chairs tasting refreshing drinks from the bar.

Sankt Oberholz is the perfect place to start the evening and warm up for Berlin’s night life. Countless bars and clubs can be found nearby between Oranienburger Tor and Hackescher Markt.

Buy your friends a Krombacher Pils for €3.30 or a bottle of Pilsner Urquell for only €2.50. And if your friends are looking for more than coffee or pilsners, Sankt Oberholz offers delicious sandwiches, salads and bagels, too! To get to Rosenthaler Platz, your friends take metro line U8, bus line 240 or trams M1 and M8.
