In the no man’s land between Potsdamer Platz and Checkpoint Charlie, in the shadow of the ruined Anhalter Bahnhof, lies a hobbitish Kneipe named Stadtklause. The warm atmosphere in this seemingly ancient building is excellent–as is the dark Klosterbier on tap and the homemade pub food. The place also boasts a cellar museum dedicated to the once great Anhalter Bahnhof, as well as a truly hobbit-sized smoker’s lounge in the attic. But beware! While it may seem like the perfect launching pad for a big night out on the town, the mellow charms of Stadtklause can make a quiet evening quite compelling.
