Drinking at Tempelhofer Feld might not be new, but how about enjoying an ice-cold beer or refreshing cocktail right by the airport? Rosinenbar THF is a pop-up bar located in the former terminal that offers just such a high-flying experience. You reach the venue through the historic Werner-Loebermann-Weg departure halls, through what would have been security, then to the gate and down the steps out into a huge hangar. Usually out-of-bounds, this area is for a short time open to everyone for evening drinks. The venue is named after the Rosinenbomber aircraft which delivered food to West Berlin after the war, and serves up some provisions of its own with a fully-stocked bar plus food from the BBQ. A must-try is the Lufthansa Cocktail, which the flag carrier served to first class passengers in the 1950s and 60s (those were the days). There’s on-board entertainment too, with a line-up of jazz nights, film screenings and DJ sets, such as tonight’s (15.07.2021) reading by actor Marina Frenk followed by sundown music. Grab a seat and enjoy drinks with views of the Feld and the US army C-54 aircraft that still sits in the hangar. Sadly, the Rosinenbar will soon depart – it is only open until 25.07 – so consider this your final call for boarding…
