Journey into the Night
Behind mirrored windows the bar Journey into the Night is hidden, a real jungle on the Savignyplatz. In this oasis plants hang from the roof as well as stuffed monkeys and birds are showcasted. In the glasses you find tasty cocktails while old-school HipHop is playing in the background.
