About the Vibe
Prinzipal Kreuzberg is a cocktail bar on Oranienstraße that leans into a glamorous, burlesque-inspired vibe with DJ sets and carefully crafted drinks. It's not the loudest party spot in Kreuzberg, but it offers a more refined evening out with a full bar and reservations available. The atmosphere is upscale compared to the neighborhood's typical dive bars, though the low Yelp rating suggests it may have had some service inconsistencies.

Glamorous cocktails with a burlesque twist
Prinzipal Kreuzberg stands out in a neighborhood dominated by dive bars and techno clubs. Located on Oranienstraße, this cocktail bar brings a touch of glamour with its burlesque-inspired aesthetic and carefully curated drink menu. The space feels more upscale than you'd expect in Kreuzberg, with a full bar and the option to make reservations for a more intimate experience.
The cocktails are well-crafted, and there's often a DJ spinning to keep the energy up without overwhelming conversation. However, with a 2.9 rating on Yelp, it's clear that service can be hit or miss. If you're looking for a more polished evening out in Kreuzberg without the chaos of the typical party scene, Prinzipal is worth a try—just go with managed expectations and maybe make a reservation.
The bar is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 PM until 2 or 3 AM, and it's closed on Sundays and Mondays. It's a solid option if you want cocktails and good music in a setting that's a bit more refined than your average Kreuzberg bar.
