About our host...

Inspired by one of the most significant writers of the last century, this place is named after Charles Bukowski’s alter ego, Hank Chinaski. Hank Chinaski was born a little more than a year ago and it is located at Soldinerkiez of Berlin-Wedding, in Koloniestr. 32. Despite the lifestyle of its namesake, we serve breakfast and healthy food (a German-Turkish fusion cuisine). Lots of vegan or vegetarian food and traditional Italian coffee is our signature. It is a no smoking place and opens daily 10:30am. We have a small stage with a baby grand piano and are hosting many talented musicians on at least three evenings in the week. And now we are extremely excited to welcome Read Wedding from February on monthly here at Hank Chinaski. Hope to see you!
