Nightlife in Charlottenburg

Charlottenburg offers a more refined night out. This is elegant West Berlin, where the nightlife runs to jazz clubs, cocktail lounges and long dinners rather than warehouse raves. If you want polish, live music and a grown-up atmosphere - or simply a change of pace from the eastern floors - this is your neighborhood.

Key takeaways

• Charlottenburg is the elegant, refined side of Berlin nightlife.
• Strong in jazz clubs, cocktail bars and fine dining.
• A more grown-up, dressed-up atmosphere.
• The Ku’damm and Savignyplatz anchor the scene.
• The bigger clubs are a short ride east.

The scene

A-Trane and Quasimodo near Savignyplatz are two of the city’s classic jazz clubs, hosting world-class players in intimate rooms. The restaurants and bars under the S-Bahn arches keep the evening going, and the Ku’damm adds upscale lounges. It’s the place for a stylish dinner-and-a-set kind of night.

The best of both

Because Charlottenburg is so well connected, you can enjoy a refined evening here and still reach the eastern club districts if the night calls for something louder.
