You think you're Berlin cool?…read more Not until you've been to a rooftop beach bar in Berlin, then you're not. Did I mention this is at THE MALL??? German efficiency wins again. You get your shopping done, get your nails done and suddenly, you're thirsty. Now what? Pay the 1 euro entrance fee and head straight to the tiki bar set-up. An ice cold Hefeweizen or a G&T will be waiting for you. You'll be given a token -- keep it -- so you can have your deposit back. (this ensures the bartenders that their glasses are returned to them!) Pick a spot whether it's on the daybed (popular and always taken), the benches or those beach chairs that you can dig into the sand. YES. Real sand! Watch out for overly chatty Germans, they mean no harm, but if you want peace and quiet ... let's just say this isn't the place for that! ;) so put on a smile and make new friends! Prost!

I'd been hearing good things about Deck 5 but all I really new before hand was that it was a beach…read morebar in a raised location offering great views over Berlin. So it took a wee while for the penny to drop that the Deck 5 from the name explains exactly what it is: Its the fifth floor parking deck of the multi-storey car park attached to the shopping mall. They've brought in sand, seats and tables to convert this temporary home for cars into a summer destination for those who like their drinks with a view.

YES, BEACH BARS!!!!…read more So, I understand why Berliners like their beach bars, cuz they live in Berlin Coming from California, this idea of a beach-style bar is still new to me. I understand it tho, and dig it too. Minus 1 star for overpriced beer. Other than that this place is awesome. Really cool vibe here, totally relaxed, they even have janky-ass chairs made from 24s and old beer crates. A BIG plus about this particular beach bar is that it's somewhat secluded and so there are NO buildings to be seen. Only trees, sand, and the bar area, it takes you right out of the city, even if only for a lil while Def cool too that there is volleyball to watch, and I'm certainly glad there are people playing, cuz, shit, when I sit down with a beer here, the last thing I want to do is jump around and hit a ball over a net (and poorly at that). The best time is just before sunset, in the summer, when the sky gets orange, and you can sit along the looooong wooden bench by the volleyball squares. Close your eyes, sip your beer and let the sun warm your eyelids Highly Recommended!

I have never been at this place before so I can't say how busy it usually is but during "Fete de la…read moreMusique" it was perfect. You had enough space to chill sitting down with a beer and enough space when rocking the dancefloor. In general, I would say this is a great spot for an afterwork beer with friends watching the sun go down over the Spree. NICE!

This is a nice place to chill out next to the river spree. They have some nice recliner chairs and…read moresand. No food - just drinks, but good.

Pick your deck chair, await the waitress, order your beer, iced coffee and food and watch das boot navigate The Spree. At €3.40 for a draught 400ml pils, hefe or an iced coffee (with ice cream and cream) and €5.50 a cocktail it's just about good value. If you just want to chill and watch the world sail by then it's more than adequate and you don't have to be waiting on a train to enjoy :-) ps. It's actually a grassy bank

My partner and I stumbled upon this bar as we were walking through Berlin by the river on a nice…read moreday. They play fun upbeat DJ beats and we had a beer with a nice view that let you watch the boats go by. It's cute to see all the tourists on boat tours wave at you as they go by. It makes for good people watching. Lounging on a lawn chair is always the best type of mid afternoon lazy fun. Seems like a fun place for groups, but certainly caters towards a younger crowd. Have to say that beer was a little pricey for what it was.

Great ambiance! Fun place to stop, relax, have a bite to eat and a beer. Great fun! Recommendread more

There are burgers & fries available although i cant speak to the quality as i just went with a liquid lunch ;) I highly recommend spending an hour here for a couple of beers & a bathroom break if you are a tourist visiting the area. There is also a fun photo booth by the entrance to commemorate your visit!
