Das Klo Bar: ""The Toilet" Lives up to it's Name" Berlin Nightlife Tip by lmjakob

The tacky Das Klo (The Toilet), located in up-market Charlottenburg, does its utmost to fulfil its name. The door handle as you enter is that of an engaged cubicle and toilet brushes are hung from mesh that covers the ceiling. This is all surrounded by horror kitsch. The chairs vibrate; a hammer comes down from the wall unexpectedly; in a back room, large boulders come down on your head making you think the ceiling is falling in. It is pricey however: a gin and tonic is €4.40 and a litre of beer €8.30. If you want to use the beer taps on your table and pour your own, it’s a hefty €50 for 5 litres - it is a novel experience, and that’s what you’re paying for. The beer also comes in urine specimen bottles when you buy in large amounts, and the wine in blood transfusion packs. They also sell currywurst during the day, and this is served in a potty. Although the welcoming bar staff announce you over the loudspeaker when you walk in, they can be too touchy-feely and consequently ordering a drink can feel as claustrophobic as the cluttered bar itself.
