It's my favourite cafe, I come here every time when I was in Berlin. Thanks to owners and personnel for unique atmosphere of this place. But is it possible to play more Bowie's songs inside the cafe? Last few month we don't hear his songs, but pop-music like Lady Gaga, Madonna and others. I understand that personnel may be tired of listening to the same thing. But why not mix the repertoire with songs by Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, T.Rex - that suits better for such place?)

Best part of my Berlin trip as a Bowie fan. It was very cozy and friendly in there. I wish I could've stayed and spent couple of other evenings there. I hope to come back to this place soon!

David the bartender was most helpful, a fantastic guy and makes the 45- 1 HR journey to be there each day. Great Bowie muisc, while we were there we got the whole Heroes/ Helen album. What more can one ask for, well maybe Low . Thanks David for a wonderful last evening in Berlin. P.S. will be visiting the Dalmatian coast next year on your recommendation.

This bar, located next to the apartmemt thay David Bowie lived in the 70s, was also frequented by him. It's now almost turned into a David Bowie shrine. Smoking allowed inside.
