While visiting The Northern Arcade, don’t forget to visit our delightful new 
Bavarian Oktoberfest café, The Raging Jackboot, a
nostalgic reminder of the good old days in Berlin just before we all pitched
together and kicked the crap out of them- all except France, of course, who were too busy drinking wine, smoking cigarettes and sewing berets for existential amusement.
And speaking of wine, if hearty stout or lager is not your cup of tea, then avail yourselves of our fully stocked climate controlled wine cellar, where our veteran sommelier Boris, who studied for over a decade with some of the most eminent winos and booze hounds in the gutters of 
Eastern Europe, will gladly assist you in selecting the perfect wine for your most special visit to The Northern Arcade. And remember our weekly bonus special: free 4 oz. cheese and crackers with the purchase of every sixty bottles or more of fine wine.
