SHISO BURGER Asian

Do you like burgers and have a weakness for Asian cuisine? The burgers are excellent. The chili lemon burger with sweet potato fries is my favorite. The Asia Burger is also available with Wagyu Beef – one of the most prized meats in the world. The place is small and reservations are recommended in the evenings.

LAB.ORATORY

(World)Famous sex club. Wide range of ages. Moderate prices. Changing theme parties (Nacked Party, Yellow Facts, Fisthouse, Rubber, Sneakerbox, etc.). Attention should be paid to appropriate evening dress. I recommend this club to anyone who wants to test their erotic limits. You should know what you are getting into. Just keep your mind open and leave the judgments or attitudes at the door! By the way, the “Lab” is located in the same building as Berghain.
Ticket: from 15€
