Coming to Wilde Matilde with friends turns a regular evening into a non-stop party of laughter, shows, cocktails, and memories that spark group chats for weeks. In the heart of Nikolaiviertel, this variety restaurant and carousel bar creates the perfect playground for friend squads – whether celebrating, unwinding, or just craving fun.
Instant Party Vibes from the Door
You and your friends step into a whimsical world that screams “let’s go wild”: Rococo furniture, colorful lights, historic Berlin art, and the spinning chain carousel bar buzzing with energy. No stiff greetings – cheeky bartenders hand welcome drinks, candy girls flutter by with sweets, and the atmosphere invites selfies and silly poses right away. Groups reserve tables easily, so your crew sticks together amid the playful chaos, feeling like VIPs before the show even starts.
Shared Laughs During the Variety Show
The Friday/Saturday 7 PM Berlin Varieté Show is friend-group gold. While you share platters of Berlin classics and patisserie treats (think petit fours, tortes, macarons), burlesque dancers, swing bands, and acrobats light up the stage and bar. It’s interactive fun: cheer for Charleston numbers, clap along to jazz, laugh at performer banter targeting your table (“Who’s the birthday boss here?”). Friends bond over “wow” moments – overhead artistes swinging, candy girls high-fiving, group sing-alongs – turning strangers at nearby tables into temporary allies.
Cocktails & Eats That Fuel the Fun
Fuel the night with 150+ carousel bar cocktails – fruity, creamy, or “sweets for grown-ups” that match the vibe – plus hearty dinner, brunch, or snack sharing. Picture your group voting on the best drink, snapping boomerangs of colorful pours, and toasting inside jokes. The in-house konditorei adds playful desserts for photo ops and sugar rushes, keeping energy high without anyone wandering off hungry.
From Show to Dance Floor Shenanigans
Post-show (around 9-10 PM), Wilde Matilde flips to party mode seamlessly – no venue switch needed. The stage becomes a dance floor; friends attempt swing moves learned from watching, request DJ tracks, and mingle with performers for pics. Birthdays get spotlight shouts, bachelorettes silly crowns – pure group joy. Late-night vibes near Alexanderplatz mean easy U-Bahn home or more bar hopping.
Perfect for Every Friend Dynamic
Squad of 4? Romantic-yet-fun double date. 10+? Birthday bash or post-sightseeing debrief with bus parking perks. Girls’ night? Cocktails and girl-power cheers. Guys’ crew? Beers, shows, banter. Central spot near Dom and TV Tower fits any itinerary – arrive from Fernsehturm selfies, leave buzzing. Groups get discounts, private tables, even custom cake surprises.
Friends leave raving: “Best night ever – laughed till it hurt!” Book via ticket shop for this weekend – spots vanish fast. Wilde Matilde isn’t just a spot; it’s where friend groups become legends, one shared cocktail, cheer, and dance at a time.
