If it’s American meat you're after, then this self-described American steakhouse and bar has got you your fix. The Bird prides itself on three things: the quality of its beef, its straight-forward American atmosphere, and its uncompromising attitude towards making the best food with the freshest ingredients available. 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.

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.

The clientele of this techno factory is made up of an eclectic mix of hipsters, university professors, gays and other curious clubbers. Offering three colossal-sized stories notable for their clean, clever industrial design, Berghain hosts numerous bars, clubs, darkrooms, a biergarten, a separate garden for relaxing, an ice cream bar and endless amounts of chill-out space complete with cushy sofas and semi-private sitting cabins. The former power plant's mammoth size and hedonistic rawness guarantee a unique experience.

Just a few minutes away from the bustling Kurfürstendamm boulevard lies the Irish Harp Pub, a traditional Irish pub. The beer is what draws the crowd in, but the entertainment and the atmosphere are what make them patrons. The interiors are a perfect complement to the Irish theme of the bar, with shamrock and Guinness beer plaques being an integral part of the design. Though beer is the staple drink here, there is also some amazing Irish malt whiskey and liqueur on offer. The food as one can expect is traditionally Irish with dishes like Irish stew and Shepherd's Pie setting the scene for a great meal. The Irish Harp also organizes nightly entertainment in the form of live Irish folk music and other genres of music and special quiz nights. For sports fans, there is a treat offered here, as the soccer matches, cricket matches, rugby and other sports events are played live on large-screen and Plasma televisions.
