Brutz & Brakel in Berlin is Friedrichshain’s no-nonsense metal den: a tight, low-lit room with walls of flyers, a separate smoking nook and a bar menu that includes infamously named shots. Regulars skew lifers; the vibe is friendly, cash-first, and proudly old-school with late finishes Thu–Sat. The crew behind the bar also drives the underground “Stromgitarrenfest” weekender at ORWOhaus, which has hosted everything from Berlin stalwarts to touring death/black acts—part of why the place feels like a clubhouse for the city’s heavy scene (one founder hails from local legends Postmortem).
