In the Bauhaus basement

The café-bistro is on the ground floor of the Bauhaus building, on Gropiusallee. It grew out of the Bauhausklub, the bar that the school, reopened in 1986, wanted as a meeting place for students and teachers; it opened in the summer of 1990 and since 1991 has been run by a private company. Here people still chat, eat, drink and celebrate.

What to expect

Breakfast from 8:00, simple lunches and drinks until night, in the building you have come to see: it is the natural stop before or after the guided tour.

When to go

Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 22:00 and Sunday from 8:00 to 17:00. To eat in the Bauhaus's historic canteen, the one with Breuer's stools, you book separately with the foundation.

What to order: a dish of the day or a coffee after the visit, in the Bauhaus basement
