Just around the corner from our hostel at the 12 Grad Aetherloge you’ll find the Three little Birds – Open Mic / Jam Session on Thursday. It’s the third instalment already and again you’ll see some amazing artists. This time it’ll be up to Sophie Sutton, Ruby Jean Rose, Liv Solveig and Michael Brinkworth to entertain you, and entertain you they will. That’s a promise đ
Doors at 20:00, Free entry.
Lucas Laufen, one of the best Berlin based singer-songwriters plays the Tik Nord in Friedrichshain on Thursday, 12.04. If you’re into shimmering guitars and falsetto melodies, then he’s your guy. Don’t miss out on Lucas Laufen at ThursdaySounds, it’s going to be a blast.

Jam is fun! Especially this on: the Jam Session Moabit at the Petersburger Art Space Berlin. There is going to be rock and funk and jazz and no matter if you want to play or just relax and chill you’ll be welcome. Everything hits off at about 19:00. It’s on a 1⏠donati
on basis. See you there!
If you’re a musician or just someone who like to learn more about music and THE MEDIA go to Aufsturz in Mitte on Wednesday for the Stammtisch Musik/Medien von Susi und Maxi. It’s a great way to network or to just have a great time with some amazing people.
If you’re into good drinks and great music in a cosy atmosphere, than you shouldn’t miss out on the Folk Night at Bar Bobu. This time it features Nate B & the Hidden Keys. They play an amazing mixture of Latin, Folk and Blues that’ll invite you to move your hips.
What makes a trip special? Is it visiting cultural and historical sights or discovering new places to eat, drink and go out? Of course, all of that is part of a good trip but which are those unique travelling moments which you will never forget? We think that those truly memorable moments which make travelling so special are all about the new people you meet and the experience you share with them.
At U inn Berlin Hostel, we know that social atmosphere matters. You can meet fellow travellers in our comfy common area or in the guest kitchen and starting from May 16 also through Gulliver App. With Gulliver App, our guests can exclusively connect with each other and the guests of 18 other hostels in Berlin. With just a few clicks you can connect to hundreds of travellers currently staying in Berlin and meet up for a crazy night out, a city tour or to grab some food together â all for free of course. During the next month, weâll invite guests to try Gulliver during check in. Also there will be posters, flyers and even a Gulliver tablet station in the hostel. At the tablet station, the App will be running live showing which travellers are up for what so youâll never to miss out on the opportunity to meet cool people from all over the world. In the App youâll also get cool suggestions of things to do in Berlin and some sweet discount at restaurants and bars in the area.
Download GulliverApp
Gulliver is developed by three German and Swiss passionate travellers. The App is brand new so the guys will be in the hostel every now and then to see how you get along with Gulliver. Donât be shy and say Hi to them đ Weâre quite keen about the idea to use new technologies to bring people back together in real life again. What do you think? Weâre interested in your opinion, just leave a comment here or just start the conversation with us in the hostel. See you soon and happy socializing at U inn Berlin Hostel!
Hip Hip Hipster!I don’t know if Berlin is really the Hipster capital everybody claims it to be but since we have the official Hipster Olympics in town it might be so. On Saturday 21.07.2012 at the Postbahnhof in Berlin Friedrichshain Hipsters from all over the world but most likely from Neukölln, Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain will meet to find out who is the “Hippest” Hipster in town. Get yourself a Club-Mate or a Bubble Tea and join the (hip) crowd on Saturday at the Postbahnhof next to the East Side Gallery. You still don’t have any clue what this event will be about?
And many more. Sound fun to you?!! Go –> www.hipster-olympiade.de
On Thursday the 21.6 the FĂȘte de la Musique will take place in Berlin. The FĂȘte de la Musique is an Open Air free Festival with stages all over Berlin. Street artists, Musicians and everybody who likes to show the world their very special talents is welcome to perform on the streets of Berlin. There is no special licence needed. As always our district Berlin Friedrichshain is very busy on this special day. Stages are everywhere and spontaneous Open Air parties guarantee you a wonderful summer day and with the FĂȘte de la Nuit the party will not end before the next day. As usual the big question is where to go. If you don’t have a plan already checkout their Homepage for the program. But believe me you are not the only one and just like every other year the server which hosts the Homepage can get a little busy. That’s why we provide you with the program for Friedrichshain here in our Hostel Blog.

Wasserschlacht oder GemĂŒseschlacht â Water-fight or Food-fight! Call it as you like! The last Wasserschlacht took place in 2008 at the OberbaumbrĂŒcke between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. And it was an epic event. No need to guess who won the fight coz as always Friedrichshian WON!! Why we do it?
Simple answer! Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg were once 2 separate districts. But politicians made a decision and now it is one big district. They take care of all the basic stuff like new street name signes and so onâŠBut they forgot the far most important question. Who will be the king in the new born district. hatâs what the fight is about and so far Friedrichshain always wins. The last Wasserschlacht took place 4 years ago and now Kreuzberg claims once agin that the throne belongs to them.
We want you to help Friedichshain and join us on the 28th of August at 12am at the OberbaumbrĂŒcke. Equip yourself with a camouflage rubbish bag a water gun and some old vegetables. Everything what is old rotten or soft is allowed. Prepare yourself to get a little dirty đ
See you at OberbaumbrĂŒcke.
