X-Terrain Berlin

The Blues Lovers' Bar

Nursu from Berlin

Holaaa! I'm Nursu, and in other words, a traveler who has been backpacking dinosaurishly (without money and sometimes with non-digital methods) for years and trying to be a local wherever she travels! I want to write and share as much as possible so I don't forget the days when I woke up with the smell of incense in a local's house on an island in Indonesia. I've been living in Berlin...
"Discover X-Terrain, a true Berlin bar with candlelit beers, a cozy basement, and a local crowd. Don't forget to say Zum Wohl!"

Are you looking for a real Berlin bar? Here you go!

I stumbled upon X-Terrain by pure chance, drawn in by the Pink Floyd song drifting from inside as I walked down the street. It’s a place that has somehow preserved its own unique vibe amidst the upscale, modern restaurants around it, and it gives me a comforting sense of safety.

On some days, there’s nothing better than heading down to the basement of X-Terrain, sipping on a beer by candlelight, and getting lost in the music of Pink Floyd! No doubt about it.



After 11 p.m., finding a seat can be tricky, but you’ll notice it’s mostly Berliners who gather here — not tourists. And in the summer, the outdoor tables make a perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere.

Don't forget to bring some cash and say Zum Wohl!

Berlin Spotter Nursu

Holaaa! I'm Nursu, and in other words, a traveler who has been backpacking dinosaurishly (without money and sometimes with non-digital methods) for years and trying to be a local wherever she travels! I want to write and share as much as possible so I don't forget the days when I woke up with the smell of incense in a local's house on an island in Indonesia. I've been living in Berlin for three years and walking the streets as much as possible. I can't wait to share it with you! And Berlin? There is always something and someone around to surprise me. It reminds me of ...
