Mitte

Good for courtyards, live jazz and a ballroom that still fills up.

Mitte is the Berlin on the postcard, and the better places sit in the courtyards off the main streets. Clärchens Ballhaus has live bands and a dance floor under mirrors, the Hackesche Höfe courtyards are free to wander, and B-flat plays jazz over strong cocktails. Café Bravo handles coffee in a garden. Skip the Berlin Icebar.

Categories show up here once we hold at least 8 places for them. Thin pages help nobody.
