Monkey Bar, Rooftop bar in Mitte district, Berlin, Germany.
Monkey Bar is a rooftop bar on the 10th floor of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, offering views of the city skyline and the neighboring zoo enclosure through floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor terrace. The interior features jungle-themed artwork and decoration that creates an urban safari atmosphere for guests.
This venue opened as part of the redevelopment of the Bikini-Haus complex, a former shopping and office building transformed into a modern hotel with dining and entertainment spaces. It has since become established as part of Berlin's contemporary nightlife and rooftop bar culture.
The name playfully references the jungle theme decorating the space, with artwork featuring gorillas and giraffes that echo the real animals in the neighboring zoo below. Local and visiting crowds gather here after work and on weekend evenings, making it a meeting point for Berlin's social life.
The bar is open from early afternoon most days and from noon on weekends, staying open well into the night. It is wheelchair accessible and reservations are recommended for evening visits, especially during busy periods on weekends.
Guests can observe real animals in the zoo enclosure while surrounded by jungle artwork and decorations, creating an unusual overlap between the artificial safari theme and living wildlife below. This juxtaposition offers visitors a playful and surreal perspective on urban nature.
