Last night after dinner at Wein Gut we wandered the streets of Schoneburg and found a new area awash with small bars, art galleries, design stores, book stores and restaurants in a quiet, secluded area. Surrounding the area are beautiful turn of the century apartment blocks. Wein Gut is an intimate restaurant on a corner block and was full of locals-it has maybe 8 tables. The menu-in German of course-changes daily. Next door to us is an electric guitar restorer with beautiful guitars in all states of repair and round the corner is a cemetary with the scarring of bullet holes on the tombs. When we were having coffee with a friend a German guy, who had toured Australia as a roadie-gave us a list of some bars in Schoneberg to check out. We have found a number of different places worth mentioning-some in Schoneberg, some in Kreuzberg.
