Ask around for directions to this one… the discovery is half the adventure!!

8pm- til late, 7 days a week.
If having a laugh and a bit of friendly competition in a non-judgemental, value for money environment sounds like your ideal hideaway then this is exactly what you’ll find at Dr. Pong.
Situated very near Eberswalder Strasse U-Bahn this unassuming shopfront does a great job of disguising the minimalist treasure hidden behind.
Inside one can discover an eclectic group of student types eagerly striding around a singular Table Tennis table, all vying for the win that is rewarded with only the non-forthcoming glory. Each participant takes their shot and moves around the table in a fast paced yet orderly fashion until their error sees them out of the game. Depending on the group size games can take anywhere between 5-10 minutes, so you’re never waiting long for the next game, just long enough to get a refreshment or take a ‘pinkle-pause’ in fact. If hours of storming around the table sounds tiring, then simply chill in the lounge by the bar.

DR PONG

Having been in operation for over 6 years and gaining a strong underground following it is surprising not to see this establishment packed to the rafters. I suppose the limitations of a single table keep the masses at bay, but it makes for the perfect understated, yet entertaining night out.  A €5 deposit is required to obtain a bat from the bar and the DJ is provided free!
Minimalist. Interactive. Social. Funky.
