Patrick von Strenge is one of our most frequent guests. He is the Marketing Director of Columbia / Four Music at Sony Music and always hangs out with cool bands – wearing at least one backstage pass and a VIP wristband. He tells us his favourite spots around the house. Blaues Band The right place to start the day. ‘Blaues Band’ is right around the corner from Lux 11. The breakfast is always good and the staff welcomes you with a great menu card. I recommend scrambled eggs.

I guess there’s nothing more to say … A.D.I.D.A.S. old school ’cause it’s the best! [Münzstr. 13 – 10178 Berlin] www.adidas.de Bonfini Right at Alexanderplatz ‘Bonfini’ services fine Italian food. Bruno and his crew are always in pursuit of giving you a proper basis for the rest of the night.

The Lodge is a very stylish bar with an amazing view of Alexanderplatz. It feels like being in the heart of Berlin while having a good drink in your hand and a smile on your face. [Rosa-Luxemburg-Str. 9 –13 – 10178 Berlin – +49 30 2478 1658] www.the-lodge-berlin.de Picknick One of the best clubs around. It’s not one of those bling bling clubs, it’s more a real good spot to hang out with your friends. It reminds me of Berlin 10 years ago – it’s great! [Dorotheenstr. 90 – 10117 Berlin] www.picknickberlin.de Mein Haus am See A special place. ‘It’s not a bar, it’s not a club, it’s something sexier in between …’ Basically open 24 hours / 7 days a week! For me it’s the best place to fill the gap between clubbing and going home finally … [Brunnenstr. 197 – 10119 Berlin – +49 30 2388 3561] www.mein-haus-am-see.blogspot.com
