Stock Market Bar

Brokers Bier Börse
Schiffbauerdamm 8

With a great location overlooking the Spree River, this is a REALLY cool bar at the Friedrichstrasse U/S-Bahn stop where the beer menu simulates the Stock Market. Every 5 minutes, a bell rings and the beer prices on an electronic board change, so the idea is that you can decide when you want to buy which beer. Prices rise and fall following supply and demand just as they would in the real market. Ideally you would follow Wall Street's rule of "buy low and sell high". Unfortunately, they don’t really do the whole sell back your beer when you’re done. Schade. It’s a really fun place to go. I was pretty thrilled when the price of my Hefeweizen went up 1 euro right after I bought it. Sweet! The Stock exchange shenanigans starts everyday at 5PM. Happy Trading!
