For a stylish evening, head down the road from the Minilofts to Cookies. Famous for being one of the most exclusive clubs in Berlin (granted, in an extremely relaxed city), to get past the door man at Cookies you might actually have to glam up a bit, or at least look like a model. (And drunken stag parties don't stand a chance - single guys, chat up a lady in the queue).

Open only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it's the perfect place to prove for yourself the fact that Berliners don't let a little thing called a weeknight stop them from partying hard until dawn.

Their highbrow vegetarian restaurant, Cookies Cream, can be found (with diffficulty) down the alleyway. Thread your way past the chandelier-lit dumpsters for culinary delights in minimalist decor.
