I guess you mean “Restaurant Majakowski (Majakowskiring, beim Schlosspark) in Pankow” is free of “regular” smoke ;-)) ….

Hallo,

ich habe auf der Basis von Google Maps einen Stadtplan mit nichtraucherfreundliche Orten online gestellt:
Nichtraucher-Stadtplan

Die (vielen) noch fehlenden Orte werden nach und nach eingetragen.

Stimmt es, dass bei Ihnen nicht geraucht wird?

Stimmt! Durch die totale Dunkelheit sind die Pupillen so weit geöffnet und die Sehzellen so sensibilisiert, dass die Glut einer Zigarette ausreichen würde, den Raum zu beleuchten. Sie können aber im beleuchteten Vorraum rauchen und sich von Ihrem Kellner jederzeit zu einer Rauchpause dorthin führen lassen.

Thank you for your efforts in putting together this comprehensive list. Although I have moved to New Zealand one year ago, I have emailed your site to all of my non-smoking friends in Berlin. Hopefully, we will soon be seeing a complete ban on in-door smoking in Germany. I am currently running two blogs for the non-smokers lobby Pro Rauchfrei e.V. that may be of interest to the people in this forum: Nicotine News und
Nikotin Nachrichten.

My letter was published in last month’s Tip and in the newest Tip someone seconded me! Maybe it’s a sign that Tip is interested…

Now onto more nonraucher places:
Lina Krokant at Wilmersdorferstr 65 has 6 seats inside and 6 seats outside, looooong shelves full of chocolate and the best tasting caffe macchiato I’ve had in a while. The chocolate brittle from the counter is to die for.

The Surfpoeten performs poetry slam every wednesday in the Mudd club and they have banned smoking entirely. A DJ plays music to dance to between performances and you may even bring your own beer!

Oh, and I was at Susuru, the food’s delicious!!!

Hello,
thank you for sharing this list with us, we needed it badly.

I have an idea and there are two things that convince me that this idea may work. Other visitors have expressed how hard it is to find this list and other similar ones. (There are other websites, but they are distracted by the need to convert the smokers as well and their list is less lovingly made and hidden under thousands of sub articles.) Additionally, restaurant and bar owners prefer to err on the side of caution and if their intuition tells them that some (all?) smokers will stop coming if they can’t smoke there anymore, then the owners will do nothing to rock the boat.

Hence my idea, we should get the magazines like Tip and Zitty to for once devote their whole attention to the need of people who cannot abide smoke, and to do that without getting mired in the discussion of freedom and right and fanatism. Just this list like yours and short reports of their own test visits the way they do it for their special editions (breakfast places, cafes, cocktail bars, etc.) The places should be ranked based on their commitment to keep the smoke away from non smokers (just a half hearted invisible line of partition, or a separate room or a totally smokefree place?)

I believe, like the success story of youtube, the key to a huge following is to make things easy. If it’s easy to find out where one can enjoy ones food free of smoke, there will be more people who visit the pioneer establishment listed here. And once the other establishment get wind of this, they will not hesitate anymore to accomodate our lifestyle.

So, write your Tip / Zitty / Prinz editors today!

Many thanks for the help in finding non-smoking restaurants in Berlin. I leave the U.S. tomorrow for my second 10-day visit to Berlin. On my first visit last year, It was very difficult and unpleasant at times to eat out where I was more often than not surrounded by awful clouds of smoke. I love Germany, but the smoking really bothers me. Even the “non-smoking sections” of many restaurants are smoky. I have a respiratory problem and am completely allergic to smoke, and I was astonished to find this in such a modern city. I hope to be able to add some helpful comments on my return!
