Junction Café - Berlin

The Junction Bar on Gneisenaustrasse in Kreuzberg is a little piece of Berlin music history. It's provided live music, offering a completely eclectic mix of...

In search for a music bar we wound our way to this place.It tries to match the Berlin way by being tough tom enter! The place is like a dungeon with a small stage.Only a few seats and they seem to go in uncreative manner.The lounge area near the bar is better.Live music was good but did not hold much of our attention.A drink is included in the cover charge which seems to alter depending on the music.No receipt was given for the charge!

Just what we were looking for. A suitably crowded underground bar. Loud music that didn't deafen you. The drinks flowed and weren't expensive. The band, a 60s 70s group The Beat Club were fantastic, most brilliant lead guitarist. 10 Euro entrance cost. Mainly an older crowd but that I guess reflects the music on offer. Worth the Uber fee to get too imho.

An underground, dark, and small hideout, Junction Bar hosts wonderful local Berliner bands on its stage. Great place to discover emerging bands in genres Pop/rock, alternative, glam, blues/rock, Britpop and occasionally jazz It is a beer bar, do not have much expectations from the cocktails. Tough, the prices of the drinks are reasonable (3.5 EUR) for Augustiner Helles. Great live music venue in Kreuzberg!

During our extended stay in Berlin the Junction bar proved a delightful little pub/cafe (ground floor) and hopping music venue (basement) where it is all about the personal. One of a disappearing species of family owned/run Kreuzberg businesses, the Junction Bar/Cafe stands as living testament to a Berlin where it is still all about people and place (rather than money and space). The food menu is simple fare, but of well-chosen, fresh ingredients, and offered at a more than fair price. Drinks pour is generous. Staff fluent in as many languages as you'd need in Europe. The weekend crowd begins to hop after 10pm. And before that it's a great place for a family meal. While you can find fancier decor nearly anywhere, you'll not find as pleasant an atmosphere to hang out with mates and a pint, have a bite with your kids, watch a match (with a pint), or on Sundays join a decades long television drama viewing tradition (ask when you arrive, you'll not be disappointed).
