General

Nah Am Wasser is only 5 minutes walk from betahaus | Neukölln and is placed, as the name hints, close to Spree. It offers great food, delicious vegan cakes, and lots of freshly made juices and smoothies. It has a beautiful outdoor area in the spring and summer. Tip: Try their Wunderkuchen. We swear you won't regret it.

For all true coffee and tea lovers, Companion Cafe is the right place. They offer a special selection of organic tea and know best how to make a latte. With your drink, you can also try some of their super yummy pastries.


If you’re searching for a place to buy REALLY GOOD baked goods (with gluten free options) and very friendly staff, endorphina Bakery is your place. It’s just few steps away from our building hidden in the backyard of Elsenstraße 52, and Katka – Head of Startup Relations, betahausX – says its awesome.

Bars & Clubs

It's no secret that Neukölln is famous for its nightlife. The neighbourhood is full of great places to grab a drink after work, enjoy some live music, or go out partying.

Some of her favorites are Natanja & Heinrich, TiER,  Twinpigs and Ä. Another must-go spot in Neukölln for all beer lovers is Lager Lager on Pflügerstraße 68.

If you're a fan of live music sessions and cozy atmosphere Du Beast, Rotbart, rooftop bar Klunkerkranich and Silver Future are great places to go. But, when talking about live music, the gritty-but-cool Loophole has our heart. It's a great space with the typical Neukölln charm (whatever that means to you) with local artists and nice bartenders.
