Yesterday I was in Berlin and I visited this place. I strongly recommend it and, hopefully, this idea of bar spreads out in other cities and countries.

Keep going!!

A couple of Americans visiting Germany (July 2013), we made our way through the throngs of the people to finally sit our hineys on what I felt was an important waypoint (1 of my 2 goals for my trip :D) through Deutschland... Meltdown Berlin. It was a fantastic afternoon filled with much discussion about a myriad of topics centering around eSports but unlimited in scope -- we ranged our conversation from simple description of the bar to my compatriot all the way to the Vans Warped Tour. It amazes me that people from across the globe can enthusiastically engage one another in civil discourse about a myriad of topics when brought together by eSports -- this to me is the true passion and virtue of eSports. If you are an avid esports fan (I am assuming you are if visiting this site) and are in Berlin, Meltdown is a must stop. It is not far from the central tourist areas of Berlin and only takes about 10-15 minutes by subway (S-Bahn or U-Bahn / Underground) to be reached. The following are the photos I took and I hope you enjoy.

I only have one criticism that I am beginning petitions for -- Meltdown currently has a drink entitled "Cloud Kingdom" -- a map which deservedly has garnered such attention. In my own vain efforts of self and team aggrandizement, I henceforth ask that a drink be made and titled "Atlas". What do you say?

Wish I had had time to play that piano with those fine folks

Ladies and gents, the Forcefield, a delicious drink

Greetings from Slovenia!
I persuaded my girlfriend to visit the bar on our short trip to berlin. After spending the whole day shopping with her, she owed it to me. Although we could only stay for a short beer, it was totaly the higlight of my part of the trip. Nice staff, great ambience and big screens. I liked that you have small inhouse tourneys, nice watching it live.
Keep up the good work! And for you guys who werent there already, go pay them a visit, its totaly worth your time!

I opened this thread and hoped that Berlin melted away from the face of the earth, now I am disappointed

Congrats to your Bar though

It works the same as the S-Bahn. If you have an AB ticket or something you can just get off the S-Bahn at like Jannowitzbruke or Hermanstrasse and then take the U-Bahn up to Hermanplatz.

I've only been here for a few hours. I took the bus from the airport to Rudow then U7 to Mockernbrucke (my hostel is 150m or so from that stop). I just said "Rudow?" with a confused look on my face and handed the bus driver money, now here I am.

How do I buy a ticket?

is this bar actually open atm?

Considering this website: http://berlinbarcraft.de/meltdown-berlin/ it would seem that they are doing some renovating at the moment.. Well, if it's not closed, I'd love to go some time, because I have a free train ticket to Berlin.

That page is not updated as far as I can tell. And the Meltdown has no homepage.
But a facebook page that is updated regularly: https://www.facebook.com/BerlinMeltdown.
There is stuff in there Calender on facebook, so I guess it's open
