Everything Else
Directly opposite to Stattbad, the repurposed '60s monolith you'll find the entrance to a very different architectural environment. Six turn-of-the-20th-century courtyards provide an unexpected link to the area's industrial past, with painted signs for long-vanished businesses still clinging to crumbling walls. This rather magical hidden Berlin enclave is worth visiting for its dilapidated grandeur alone, although here, too, you'll find a couple of Wedding's hipper hangouts.

Once a rather musty gathering place for Wedding's more senior citizens, in recent years this '50s gem has transformed itself into one of the district's hipper creative hangouts.
Live music, art shows and, of course, that all-important original bowling alley all add up to a rollicking, all-round entertainment experience.
The game itself is similar to the American ten-pin version, albeit slightly harder to play. (Sure - there's one less pin to knock down, but the bowls are smaller and lack finger holes).

Drinks & Nightlife
Hidden up a flight of stairs, bar-slash-art-space 'Anita Berber' occupies a large, loft-like area (above). It's an impressive-looking venue, and at night, with the lights down low, exudes just a hint of the decadence which its Weimar-era, wild-child namesake would certainly have enjoyed.

The same complex of courtyards is home to 'Panke' - a coolly quirky venue that makes great use of repurposed circuit boards in its interior design.
Again, this isn't a place solely focussed on boozing: Panke incorporates a gallery and dance space, schedules numerous arty events and also serves up tasty snacks in its garden space that backs onto (no surprise) the tiny River Panke.
