Berlin has thousands of bars – but how many of them offer you a journey back in time to the golden 50s, combined with modern live entertainment and culinary highlights? The Knutschfleck Berlin takes the “bar in Berlin” concept to a whole new level.
Imagine entering a venue that is bursting with energy. As you sip your first signature cocktail, a performance begins on the stage in front of you, taking you out of your everyday life. What sets us apart from a classic bar in Berlin Mitte is our unique concept: variety show + experience restaurant + party bar.

Our location right on Alexanderplatz makes us the ideal starting point or headquarters for your evening. Whether you’re new to the city or a native Berliner looking for a special place for your friends, Knutschfleck is the place for you.
The Variety Show - More than just a bar in Berlin
When we say we are a variety bar in Berlin, we mean it. Our centerpiece is the dazzling show that will amaze you every Friday and Saturday evening.
Entertainment that gets under your skin
Our stage belongs to the best: International artists, graceful burlesque dancers, energetic cancan ensembles and talented singers provide goosebump-inducing moments. In between, comedy interludes and interactive entertainment moments lighten the mood. It is this mixture of Berlin snark, elegance and acrobatics that makes the Knutschfleck the most exciting bar and show in Berlin.
Show and drinks in perfect symbiosis
While you enjoy the show, we serve our creations directly to your table. You sit in the front row of the action, the lights are dimmed, the spotlights dance across the stage and you have a first-class drink in your hand. Friday evenings in Berlin are particularly legendary for us – it’s the moment when the working week falls away and the glamour of the variety show takes over.
Bar & cocktails: Your pleasure trip at Alexanderplatz
What would a first-class bar in Berlin be without a bar menu that leaves nothing to be desired? At Knutschfleck, we are proud of our huge selection of over 150 different cocktails and long drinks.
Classics meet signature drinks
Our bartenders are masters of their craft. From the perfectly balanced caipirinha to our exclusive smooch creations, served in a colorful and photogenic way, there’s something for everyone. Looking for something fruity, strong or would you prefer a creamy dessert cocktail? We’ve got it.
Alcohol-free variety for all
We want every guest to feel at home with us. That’s why our menu includes a wide range of creative mocktails and non-alcoholic refreshments. This means that even drivers or guests who consciously avoid alcohol can enjoy the full bar feeling.
The ambience – characterized by colourful lights, circus elements and a pinch of retro chic – provides the perfect backdrop for your Instagram photos.
