About Monarch
Monarch in Kreuzberg is a compact, 150-capacity room built for close-range gigs and late club sets. Its defining feature is the panoramic window looking straight across Kottbusser Tor: a hard-edged Berlin streetscape behind the crowd, with the first-floor setting giving the club the feel of a bar suspended above the intersection. The room suits listeners who value proximity and atmosphere over distance from the stage.
A record that starts before its listed opening
Monarch’s early timeline carries a useful wrinkle. A current nightlife listing gives December 8, 2010 as its opening date, yet a Ver.di publication advertised a June 14, 2007 discussion at “Bar Monarch” at Skalitzer Straße 134. The documented record therefore places activity at this address several years earlier, while the precise opening or relaunch story remains unclear in published sources.
Its archive also shows the room serving ideas as readily as dance floors. In June 2009, Hunee and Finn Johannsen played the disco night La Grotta here. On September 7, 2011, CTM and TodaysArt used Monarch for an ICAS Suite opening night with Conforce, 2562 and Peter Van Hoesen, linking the small Kreuzberg venue to Berlin Music Week’s experimental electronic programme.
The room today
Monarch books across formats: live concerts, readings and parties appear alongside DJ-led nights. The musical center of gravity runs through electronic music, soul, disco, house and indie-leaning live bills, with hip-hop and rock shows also on the calendar. Expect a first-floor bar-club layout with a central bar, a small performance area and seating along the window line; the broad Kotti view is its strongest sightline. Berlin.de describes a casual, raw room with living-room scale, while accessibility information flags no step-free access.

- Sat, 28 Nov 2026 · 18:00 Gebrüder Manns – verlässliches Brett seit 1996: Vier Ladies mit Crossover-Abrissbirne. Laut, energiegeladen und absolut mitreißend. Ein Konzert der Band ist genau das Richtige für all jene, die gar nicht einsehen, dass man ab 50 nicht mehr rumspringen darf wie Zack de la Rocha. Die Wut von RATM, das Brett von Korn und der aggressiv-poppige Groove von Limp Bizkit katapultieren das Publikum zurück in eine Zeit, deren Lebensgefühl einfach wieder erlebt werden will. + THE HAND CUTS haben sich erst 2021 aus einer Schnapsidee heraus gegründet. Der Sound ist immer punky, aber hat auch Einflüsse von PostPunk/Indie/Surf und mehr., HerzeR – Linkin Park trifft Korn und singt Deutsch. Das ballert, setzt Endorphine frei und bringt frischen Rock auf die Bühne. Die Band war von 1996 bis 2003 in der gesamten Republik unterwegs, veröffentlichte bei Polydor/Universal eine EP, ein Album und zwei Musikvideos und tourte u.a. mit OOMPH!, Farmer Boys, Emil Bulls, Such a Surge und Sportfreunde Stiller.
