Berlin's best rooftop bars are open-air, so the evening lives and dies with the sunset. Enter a date and this planner works out tonight's Berlin sunset, tells you when to arrive, and matches five real rooftops (Klunkerkranich, Monkey Bar, House of Weekend, Deck 5, Solar) to the evening you want.
A free rooftop-sunset timing planner for Berlin.
Use this free Berlin tool to time a rooftop evening properly. The biggest mistake is asking what time the rooftops open, when the real question is when the sun sets. This planner works out tonight's Berlin sunset, tells you when to leave, and points you at the right roof.
What this tool does
Berlin's rooftops are open-air, so the whole evening turns on the sunset, not the opening hour. This planner calculates tonight's Berlin sunset for any date, marks the ideal time to arrive, and lays out five real rooftops so you pick the right one before you set off.
Chase the light, not the clock
Berlin sunset swings from close to 21:30 in late June to soon after 18:00 in late October. A rooftop that is magic in July can be cold and empty at the same clock time in autumn. Aim to arrive about 45 minutes before sunset, get a drink and a spot while it is still bright, then watch the city turn gold.
Pick the right rooftop
Tap through the five roofs: Klunkerkranich in Neukölln for the cheap plant-filled sunset classic, Monkey Bar in City West for a polished skyline cocktail, House of Weekend on Alexanderplatz for a central party roof under the TV Tower, Deck 5 in Prenzlauer Berg for a beach bar on a car-park roof, and Solar near Anhalter Bahnhof for a dressed-up glass-lift date spot.
Before you go
Most of these roofs are seasonal and weather-dependent, and they simply close when it rains, so always keep a backup. Solar has a dress code. Read the full rooftop guide for costs, entry rules and how each one fits a normal day in Berlin.
