The Kolonnaden Bar is opening again: at one of the most beautiful locations in all of Berlin – on the edge of the historic Kolonnadenhof on the northern tip of Museum Island and directly on the Spree – there will once again be cool drinks, DJ sets and a cultural programme with selected guests from Thursdays to Saturdays from 4 pm to 10 pm (Sunday until 8 pm) from 01 August to 01 September 2024.

Seating, bar tables and – most importantly – the bar are spread out under the colonnades on the Spree side and create an opportunity to linger. The idea of a place for stimulating conversation, informal get-togethers and good drinks has a long tradition on the Museum Island. As early as the end of the 19th century, a drinking hall opened under the colonnades on the Spree, which survived until the 1930s. This year, the seventh edition of the Kolonnaden Bar is dedicated to the theme of strolling.
