A trip to the Monkey Bar


Last week I made a trip to the Monkey Bar with some colleagues that were visiting from our US offices. It's a very popular cocktail bar here in Berlin, but I thought we wouldn't have trouble getting in before 6.30pm. I was wrong. 


We only waited 10 - 15 minutes though. The views at the top over the monkey cages at the Berlin Zoo were worth it and the drinks were also surprisingly good, if expensive. I'm ready to monkey around again anytime! For more signs, take a look at Signs. Signs.

    1. The cocktails were 12 euros on average. For Berlin, that's expensive.

  4. Seems a cool place, yes. Pear City Oahu Hawaii had a longtime Monkey Bar in which the monkeys lived behind a glass wall behind the bar! It is missed by those old-timers who loved it.

  5. Why limit your self to rum? A fine Burgundy would do as well or better.

  10. Indeed a very nice view from the Berlin Zoo and a nice way to describe rum . Never thought about that connection.

  11. I like the title! Monkey bar indeed. I used to work out on the monkey bars at the school I attended in Los Angeles in my younger years! Rum was not served, though! Darn!
