Oranienstrasse has long been a favorite nightlife center of decidedly affordable and colorful hipster-favored bars and clubs. The stretch of Kreuzberg between Kottbusser Tor and Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn stations, as well as either side of Görlitzer Park, abound with trendy bars and classic cocktail joints. Along the canals, especially in summer, you'll find plenty of outdoor drinkeries, cafés, and clubs humming into the wee hours.
