"We're not hungover in Berlin, we're time travelers. In Berlin, time disappears." — This is the sort of thing you might hear on a night out at Mano Café.
Late into the night, rowdy conversations flow as swiftly as the cocktails at this lively venue in the heart of crazy Kreuzberg, where the homely atmosphere makes you feel more like you're at a house party than a bar. A cross between your aunt’s cozy living room and the treehouse you've always dreamed of building, the décor here is a prime example of the creativity and effort put into the design of Berlin’s nightlife establishments.
Picture wooden interiors, intimate nooks spread across multiple levels, vintage armchairs, soft lamp lights, worn-in furniture, shelves of old books, and a few plants scattered about. The place is so warm and inviting that every time I step in for a drink, I feel like moving in.
By day, it’s as though last night never happened: cocktails are swapped for coffee, cigarettes for cake, and the intimate interior becomes a quiet refuge, inviting you to sit back and relax, away from the bustling city.
Come to Mano and see for yourself why Berlin’s famous nightlife is an attraction in its own right.
