Choosing to not boast the name of the building on any of the signage, Mein Haus Am See is the physical embodiment of playing it cool. Mentioning only that is a cafe and bar, you can take it as either try hard or modest when realising that it also serves as a live music and performance venue, as well as an occasional art exhibition space. One trademark is the stall seating at the back, where steel stairs have been littered with cushions forming a creative and stylish interior space. These are great for twos and threes to enjoy a Weiss beer (3.60€) rather than sharing any of the tables for eight that dominate the main floor. There's also a smoking room with a glass partition, but finding a seat inside is usually a rarity.
Wallpaper-stripped and paint-peeled walls create a backdrop for the art on show, and despite looking as if the art has been lifted straight from your tumblr dashboard, these emphasise Mein Haus Am See's agenda to integrate the arts into their bar and cafe. Although, seeing as the hipster clientele have manipulated every visible logo to look like genitalia, perhaps the crowd it attracts are not as appreciative of art as the maybe first seem.
