Where is the bar ?

There is a place I guess only a few know in the city. We had the surprise to discover it by chance last year when we came back from the lake one week-end. It's true It's not in an area we ever thought to visit in the city but once you've been there, you only want to go there. The only (but also the main) problem with it, is that you can rent the place and It is often booked. Also the opening times are never the same, so you need absolutely to check the programm on the web before : bar im Waserturm in Hohenschönhauser. But in another way, It makes the bar even more exclusive. Though It is not far from where we live, reachable with the bike within 15 minutes, everyone enjoys the quietness, the peacefulness, the warmth of the place ... and the cocktails. I stay with my Pernod that they serve there very nicely compared to other places in the city. My advice would be not to go too early, have something to eat before (no kitchen there), because you just don't want to leave the place once you sit. The view with beautiful houses, especially the one built by Mies van der Rohe and full of the most exclusive pieces of design ever created, or simply looking at the duck searching for food in the lake, or maybe the mosquitoes which are a bit too agressive past 11:00 p.m. make this place uncomparable. Everyone says It is the secret place where you will find no tourists, possibly only people living in the neighborhood or like us, who know the place. And once you found you had enough of this peaceful solitude, It's time for you to go back "downtown" or maybe pass by the lake Weissensee, nearby, but It's another bar ...
