Open Viertel is our tribute to the vibrant and diverse Bahnhofsviertel neighborhood. In collaboration with French Bento Bar, we’ve created a unique program at Jürgen-Ponto-Platz that blends arts, fashion, culinary experiences, culture, and music. Featuring performances by local talents and renowned headliners, Open Viertel showcases a rich tapestry of genres and creativity. Over the past two years, we’ve welcomed more than 6,000 guests annually to celebrate the essence of our community and its many cultures. Open Viertel is more than an event—it’s a platform for connection, inspiration, and pride in the neighborhood we call home.

Before Smiling Monroe became the iconic basement venue for cozy live music nights, it all started with Smiling Mona—a rooftop pop-up that captured the magic of sunsets, city lights, and skyline views. Inspired by New York’s vibrant energy, our rooftop tiny concerts turned strangers into friends, filling the air with electric vibes and unforgettable live music. We revisited those roots, reviving the spirit of Smiling Mona and celebrating the community that has grown with us. Thank you to everyone who joined us in bringing that magic back to life!
