A chummy, fun pub with a seafaring theme right

pint in the warm, spring weather. Open all day, it gets
rowdier at the weekend when the party set passes through.
Kufürstendamm
The ‘Ku’damm’, as it’s affectionately
known, is West Berlin’s main shopping avenue and it appears
to be going through a revival, with one luxury fashion outlet
or high-end restaurant opening after the other. High-rollers,
this is your street!
