Stagish things to do in Berlin.

[swindonseagull]

Used to spend a lot of time in Berlin when I was based in Germany with the RAF...
The Irish Bar in the Europa Centre at the top of Kurfurstendam (by the bombed out church) is a good place.

For some adult entertainment Club La Poupee in Charlottenburg......( might be a bit tame now)

Also Mon Cheries near Charlottenburg station,......Used to have a nice bath on stage, where the 'ladies' would invite men...or so Im told.( I'm not sure if the district around Charlottenburg still exists as a red light area.

The Check point Charlie museum is worth a look but it wont be anywhere near as sinister as it was with the Berlin wall up, and us military types walking around in full uniform( If we did not wear uniform in EAst Berlin we would be treated as spies )
Good old days

One can do a lot better then this place.

If you didn't like the München one you will not like the plastic Berlin one then. But, in Munich it's Augustiner all the way; their chestnut tree laden beer garden is wonderful.

I watched England v Sweden in that beer garden in 2012. A wonderful example of drinking efficiency.

The best Augistiner kellar / garden is the one in Salzburg, a truly superb place.

There's a big old disused international airport complete with runway somewhere in East Berlin. Tried walking there once, from the nearest U-Bahn. Took bloody ages and never did make it, on account of only had a couple of hours til my plane left from the other airport. Probably a great photo-op, especially if you can commission a beer-bike to let you run AMOK there

Templehof Airport

I really liked the Checkpoint Charlie Museum. Amongst other things it showed all the ingenious methods people used to escape from East Berlin to West Berlin. One that stuck in my mind was the man who had worked out the height of the checkpoint barrier. He hired a low slung sports car, removed the windscreen, let some air out of the tyres to lower the car a bit more and just drove straight under the barrier with his East German girlfriend and her mother hiding in the back.

The Salzburg Keller is in my top 3 places for a Beer.

Going on my self exploratory holiday on my own this Summer, London - Berlin for a week then on to Auschwitz in Poland for a couple of days.
All by 1st class train much more exciting and for not a massive price either.
Cant wait i wish i had time to go to my once home town of Bielefeld though. Maybe next year !

I assume you guys are going towards the end of this month? Please let me know how it goes and what you'd recommend!

I'm best man and have the duties of sorting out a stag do (30th April - 2nd May, 16 people) and need to start looking at things to do. We will be staying in the Alexanderplatz area.

More suggestions from others welcome!

If you're arriving on the 30th, you're sadly too late for the Union Berlin fixture who are playing on the Friday night that weekend. Hertha are away. If you're looking for a game, you could do a lot worse than head to SV Babelsberg who are at home on the Sunday, KO 13.30.

The stadium is in the Potsdam area, so a fairly straightforward and quick S Bahn ride from most parts of Berlin. They play at Regionaliga Level which is League 2 equivalent. The stadium has plenty of terracing and very English in design compared to other grounds at that level which are often variations of Withdean.

Had a great time. The Trains are great and cheap. However one train was delayed by 10 minutes.

But as for bars do your research and find something close as with any large city things are spread out.

Id recommend the stock market bar. I cant recall its name but basically the bars prices go up and down in value depending on populrity and all the prices are on screen. Our group had a great time.

Id avoid doing any stag activities and explore berlin lots to do and See however groups of Men as in any city isnt great. So make sure you book in advance where you can.
