An island of insanity in a sea of overpriced Hackescher Markt pomp: this veritable den of delights and monsters can be found hidden at the dark end of a graffitied courtyard. This unique place features an extraordinary programme of selected live concerts, performances, DJ nights and parties, bringing together a colourfully mixed audience: local artists, those from Berlin's and the international creative scene, alternative artists, art enthusiasts, those eager to discover, old and new Berliners. There are disturbing metal beasts sticking from the crumbling walls, affordable beers and cocktails, a stage, plenty of smoke, and a wonderful set of characters intent on having a good night out. In summer, the outdoor cinema in the back yard shows foreign films in original version.
