Klunkerkranich

More than just a rooftop bar, Klunkerkranich feels like a hidden village above the city. During the warmer months, it’s a lively space full of plants, colorful decor, and a vibrant mix of people. On any given day, you might find a DJ spinning groovy electronic music, an art bazaar, or a live band performing as the sun melts into the Berlin skyline.

The venue is welcoming to all — it’s LGBTQ+ friendly, wheelchair accessible, and creates a safe space for everyone, including the trans community. It’s family-friendly during daytime hours, and even has a little sandpit for kids.

The entrance fee (usually €5–8) helps fund a rich cultural program packed with performances, markets, and events. While you’ll need cash for some purchases, the overall atmosphere more than makes up for the slight quirks.
Tip: Visit during a clear day for an unforgettable sunset view over Berlin!
