Monkey Bar

Monkey Bar sits on an upper floor of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, its terrace looking directly down over the neighboring Berlin Zoo and out across the city skyline — one of the more distinctive views in town. The vibe stays vibrant yet relaxed, drawing a large, steady crowd of both visitors and locals throughout the evening. Despite its popularity, walking in around early evening on a weekday is often enough to find a seat without a reservation. With drinks priced around fifteen euros, it sits at the accessible end for a rooftop bar with this kind of view.

What people say

"Fantastic rooftop bar with one of the best views in Berlin. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, making it a great place to enjoy a drink while taking in the city skyline. Service was friendly, attentive, and much faster than expected. The interior design is unique and full of character, and the outdoor terrace is a perfect spot on a sunny afternoon. Definitely worth a visit for the views, cocktails, and overall experience."
