7. The Fever Club
Taking its cue from the bustling Berlin nightlife, The Fever Club has taken up residence in the space left vacant by the Air Raid Shelter Bar beneath the floorboards of Alfred & Constance. The intimate space has been transformed complete with LED lighting lining the ceiling that changes colour, white leather booth seating that wraps around one side of the club, and a small space housing that night's DJ. For those that formerly associated the place with a stuffed goat, the bar's famed mascot still makes an appearance; albeit wearing an animated collar, and a mask that bears a striking resemblance to Vladimir Putin.
