Berlin - Long Weekend

[s3pc1989]

Planning a long w/e in Berlin with the wife, early October probably. Very interested to hear recommendations of places to stay, attractions, things to do, good restaurants bars etc.
Like - beer, eating, bit of culture but not endless museums and galleries (with exception of car / industrial museums), parks / gardens and historical interest stuff.

Thoughts / guidance appreciated.
