A less over-the-top, more neighborhood-y bar and cafe along Oranienstrasse, Bierhimmel (Oranienstrasse 183) is a cheap and casual spot to start off an evening (or even an afternoon) of carousing. Drop by this cozy storefront cafe for a glass of wine, a light snack, or a cup of coffee before venturing out to some of the saucier spots around the SO 36 section of Kreuzberg, such as Roses and Mobel-Olfe.
