When you visit the same bar every Friday night for 4 weekends in a row, I believe it deserves a mention! The place in question is Fire Bar, Berlin, tucked away in a basement on Krausnickstrasse, Hackesher Markt. It is strategically located opposite a Hospital and also very close to the junction of Kraunickstrasse with the ever poppular Oranienburger Strasse, which is always adorned with prostitutes dressed in armor like plastic with peculiar huge pastel colored platform boots. I like the place because of its cheap as hell long drinks (cuba libre for 4 euros anyone?), soft but beautiful music which is always audible but never disrupts your conversations, sink in comfortable leather couches, super friendly staff and the 70s vibe. Last but not the least the place is always filled with super-characters; the bar-tendresses are sexy in a geometric way with unique haircuts and dressing styles outta prodigy music videos, but more than anything everyone there is warm and friendly. Last evening I overheard two British guys giving someone the directions to the place on the telephone. They described it as ‘Come to the speak-easy place past the Techno Prosties’..Couldn’t describe it any better :)! I dedicate the following song to the place , its staff and its patrons:
