As the name implies, the door is a significant factor in this bar, particularly because it can be rather hard to navigate past it. The Green Door is one of Berlin's prime spots for "seeing and being seen." The clientele is a homogeneous display of chic, as the Green Door is a firm favorite among Berlin's glittering VIPs. That said, they serve great cocktails at prices that are comparable to other bars in the area. The interior oozes charm with its long wooden counter and copious amounts of green-colored kitsch. To sum up, this is a great place for a late-night drink or two.
If it’s American meat you're after, then this self-described American steakhouse and bar has got you your fix.

Run by a couple of New York expatriates, the menu here is filled with sassy commentary and is dominated by imported American-beef steaks and tangy burgers, such as The Filthy Harry (bacon and Cheddar cheese). Rolls of paper towels sit on the tables to indicate that things might get a little messy, as the food is so delicious.
