Don’t know how you are, but when it comes to going out, I cannot say no. I just cannot say no. They don’t call me Duracell for nothing!  And, as I’m new to Berlin, I love doing new things, discovering new places and attending all sort of events. But, what I love even more, is attending these events for free.

So, just in case you like tips, like I do, here comes one!

Imagine it’s Wednesday and you’re in the mood for some live jazz, a glass of cold beer or a hot cup of tea. Then you should just take your jacket and go to B-Flat, a small bar located in Mitte, on 13 Rosenthaler Strasse. It’s true, they have great jazz every weekday, but on Wednesdays you can enter free of charge!

Here, more or less famous performers come and improvise. Most of them know each other, just like in a family, but some play there for the first time, so the sound is always fresh and exciting. The saxophones, the cello, the piano, the flute and the drums create a perfect fusion and a perfect atmosphere.  It’s really fun! I’ve been there for the first time for a birthday party! It was crowded but, somehow, cozy. I remember one of the performers dedicated a song to our friend that was just turning 25.

Last night a 10 or 12 year old boy played the piano in a fantastic manner. Even the other performers from the stage, some of them about 60 years old, were amazed by the talent of the little boy. His parents, sitting at a corner  table, were overwhelmed with enthusiasm. You could read the pride in their eyes.

If you really want to enjoy the music, you should be there around 8.30pm. Starting 9pm you may not find a place to sit, because it’s getting really crowded. But even so, the music is great and the people very nice.
