1. Monster Ronson’s Ichiban Karaoke

Loudly belting out your favorite songs, whether you give a Grammy-worthy performance or can’t hit a single note, is something you can do especially well at Monster Ronson’s Ichiban Karaoke in Friedrichshain. There’s a huge selection of songs here, not just old familiar standard songs. By the way, you can check on the Ichiban’s website whether a certain song is available and thus prepare yourself already.

And those who don’t want to go on stage can instead overcome their inhibitions in front of a small crowd in one of the private karaoke boxes. There are 8 smaller boxes that can accommodate up to 6 people. The boxes have names like Amy, Jimi, Kurt, Freddie or Michael. In addition, there are 2 larger boxes, Janis and Elvis, which can fit 12 and 16 people, respectively, who are eager to sing. These can be reserved for special occasions, so ideal for a birthday in Berlin.

A big plus: the bar is LGBT*-friendly and queer events are held here regularly, such as a “drag race” every Tuesday. The regular clientele is correspondingly trendy and colorful, the mood usually boisterous and the flair party- and disco-like.

If your voice fails you or if you just need a change from singing in between, you can also play billiards or table football here.

2. Escape Room at Illuminati Escape

"An Escape Room is an exciting event for a birthday in Berlin."

Berlin offers a wide range of exciting Escape Games.

An escape room, also called a live escape game, is an adventurous game for small to medium-sized groups in one or more specially prepared rooms. An Escape Room always has a background story and takes you into another world. The goal is usually, as the name suggests, to break out of the Escape Room. Sometimes, however, the mission is much more complex and there are always several puzzles and tasks to solve.

We have already tested numerous Escape Rooms in Berlin and one of our favorite Escape Room providers is Illuminati Escape in Charlottenburg. We tested three of the four missions offered and were thrilled every time:

Jackpot – Adventures in the Macau Casino

Cyber Attack – Battle for the Quantum Computer

Alien Grill – Secret Mission at Area 51

You simply notice that the operators and at the same time Escape Room builders are real Escape Game enthusiasts and that a lot of effort and love has gone into the design of the rooms, the puzzles and the entire story. In addition, a special feature here is that all Escape Games are connected storywise: it is always about the fight against the dangerous Illuminati, who are on the verge of seizing world domination. However, the order in which the Escape Rooms are played is irrelevant.

Playing miniature golf, but not outside, but in a neon-colored glowing fantasy world, is an experience you can have at Dockx in Tempelhofer Hafen.

One such is the dignified Bar im Wasserturm in Alt-Hohenschönhausen, which, as the name suggests, is based in a round water tower on the edge of the Obersee. This forms together with the Orankesee and a park lying between the lakes here a green leisure oasis, where you can let your soul dangle.

9. Dark Dinner at the “unsicht-Bar” (Formerly “Nocti-Vagus”)

"For a birthday in Berlin you can visit a dinner in the dark as a special gastronomic event."

An unforgettable birthday dinner you have dining in the dark in a completely dark restaurant.

“I taste something you don’t see! (And neither can I.)”! This could be the motto of the dark dinner, a special form of experience gastronomy, where you are served a menu in complete darkness, of which you do not know beforehand what it actually contains. Such a special sensory experience can be had in Berlin, for example, at the dark restaurant unsicht-Bar in Prenzlauer Berg. Ideal as a special birthday dinner with family and friends!

Before the meal, you fill out a questionnaire here, in which you give general information about what you eat and what you don’t, i.e. whether with meat or vegetarian, or whether there are any intolerances and if so, which ones. If you want, you can also be told in advance exactly what will be served, but we found it more appealing to be surprised. And in fact, it’s not that easy to find out what exactly is on the plate purely through the sense of taste.

Incidentally, eating a three-course meal in complete darkness while observing all the rules of etiquette is also easier said than done. But don’t worry, because “everything is permitted in the dark…” whispered our blind waiter mischievously during our dark dinner experience test in the unsicht bar. Yes, you read that right, the waiters in this restaurant are all blind and have no problem orienting themselves without the help of their sense of sight. If you feel a need during the meal, you can let the waiter lead you to the toilets and don’t worry – they are illuminated!
