Columbia Theater and Huxleys, Berlin: Two Rooms in Old West Berlin

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Berlin hides its best mid-sized rooms behind ordinary doors, and two of them sit in the old western half of the city carrying histories that have almost nothing to do with music. One is a former American Army cinema staring across the field at the shuttered Tempelhof airport. The other is an 1880 beer garden in Neukölln that has been, at various points, a variety stage, a roller-skating rink and a hall where Jimi Hendrix once plugged in. If you are following a loud band around Europe, sooner or later the routing puts you in one of them, so it is worth knowing what you are walking into.
