Review from Christen g.

An incredible artspace and more in Berlin. There is a lot of in-fighting happening here with the government and capitalists buying out the artists and the space to develop it into (most likely) horrific hipster condos. I hope it never goes away.

Great graffiti but a bit sketchy. Go before it gets shut down!
I wish some of the artists did not get painted over so it was clearer to see the messages, but that's very wishful thinking. -

I am not exaggerating a bit, when i say....if you came to Berlin, and did not visit Tacheles, then you have lost around 30% of your visit value.
The amount of Art, coolness and great atmosphere found in this bar, is not to be compared with anything else in the world.
The backyard section is a cool place to hang out with friends, have a beer and enjoy the latest crazy berliner art, in a half or fully drunk state....it is a unique experience, trust me.
the only thing which needs to be controlled lately, is the number of "pub crawls" taking place here, which if pushed too far, can make the place loose it uniqueness and coolness.Listed in: Berlin's 5 Stars only.

Found out too late that this place doubles as a dance club? Crazy.
This is something not to miss if you are in Berlin. I felt like I was truly having a Berlin-experience while walking through this place. Is that cheesy? Whatever. It's cool, the artists are actually really talented and I walked out with a couple prints for myself.
This should be at the top of your list whether you've lived in Berlin all your life or are just visiting for the first time. -

I visited Berlin a couple of years ago, and my visit to Tacheles is one of the most memorable parts of my trip. I would go so far as to say that this is THE coolest bar I have ever been to in my life, and believe me, I've been to my fair share.
First of all, this place is located in a seedy old warehouse building, and as you enter you find yourself in a concrete stairwell that is absolutely COVERED with graffiti. Going through the various levels, you'll find yourself in artist studios where you can peruse and purchase a myriad of artistic pieces. I bought a pair of funky earrings here that I still get compliments on all the time. The art that envelops this place is stunning and ever-evolving; it's a unique environment that I don't think can be matched elsewhere.
Finally, at the top there is a bar/lounge area with old couches and huge windows that look over the city. It really is an interesting and beautiful view, looking out over the beach bar in the courtyard with the city in the background.
This place really just screams "Berlin." I would love to go back to Berlin someday soon, and I know this will be one of the first places I visit after I get off the plane.Listed in: The Brewsky Hall of Fame, Berlin

What is this fascination these days with dive bars? It's a craze that's sweeping the entire planet! Dive bars are cool in theory, but in actuality they are rather depressing. I've yet to step foot in a bonafide "dive bar" in Europe. I say, be glad you don't have them!
Kunsthaus Tacheles reminds me of the kind of giant loft building you'd find in DUMBO, Brooklyn about 15 years ago when it was an industrial wasteland-yet full of artists-and a fun place to dream about living for free (Gone are those days. I mean, Jay Zee lives in a luxury high rise on Jay Street!)
So, yeah, I dig the vibe here, from the staircase filled with graffiti, to the artists' floors featuring everything from tattoos to sculpture... to the cinema and bars on the upper floors. It's really an art student's dream and I think appeals especially to the young backpack set. I was there in October and the crowd was a bit young for me, but no matter, I had a really great time and that view from the top bar is incredible. I'd say it's a must see for anyone going to Berlin for the first time. Read up on the history first. It'll make the visit even more interesting.Listed in: Berlin, I yearn for you!

Graffiti, art or eyesore?
You be the judge, however, if in the debate of graffiti, you find yourself leaning towards art, then a visit to Tacheles is a must. I never thought of myself to be a modern art lover before Berlin, but after countless Madonna and Childs, and quoting one of my fellow solo traveler, "if i ever see another madonna and child, i may just throw up" - Berlin was a welcoming change, with art and expression at just about every corner.
Tacheles was no exception. Situated in an old, abandoned warehouse, the space looks rather seedy, but the galleries and exhibits inside are creative and just about every inch of the walls are covered with street art. Enjoy the galleries and just take in the wonderful atmosphere. Pose while holding up a sign showing your support for tacheles and act on that impulse by going downstairs and enjoying a beer at the "beach" bar and enjoy people watching. -

I have to preface this review by saying that I was at Tacheles for one day, a rainy day, in mid September. Many of the studios were closed, but the open ones, I assume, could or could not have been a good example of the general tone of the rest of the studios.
Everyone was friendly enough, their work was not earth shattering ingenuity, but I have much respect for the fellow creative doing their thing, and opening their doors to the public to judge. It's a bold move.
The history of this place is quite amazing, and I imagine there are a lot of ghosts floating around at Tacheles because of it.
The hallways smell of urine, and every hard surface is sticky or caked with funk. They make no claims of sanitary conditions.
Overall, the place is eye candy, some have a message, some do not, and the artists are transient so you'll always see something new and different.
I hear it's in it's last days and has lost its collective message. Divided we fall, I suppose. So enjoy it while you can, it's certainly a site to see. -

I quote "this is the type of club you pull on your jeans and t-shirt, buy dirt cheap beer at half a euro, and hope that the person you went home with from this club is over the age of 18."
