The decorations are sparse but the place is tastefully decorated with an authentic Berlin feel to it.. There is always awesome music, usually Nina Simone, Big Band or something but it probably depends on the night. Definitely a great place to hang out with friends or maybe for a date. It has a wide selection of drinks and a seriously stocked bar. It's a great place I've been coming to for years and the service is friendly and good and the drinks are reasonably priced. I would highly recommend it if you feel like a place you can go to drink with friends and actually hear yourself talk, as opposed to many bars in Berlin where I feel you end up screaming because the music is blasting at top volume.. Check it out, nice cozy place and great atmosphere

Roter Rabe came up on a map and we walked down the wide Kottbusser Strasse to the Spree river. Here on a sharp corner with a small outdoor beer garden is a place you might not see. A small doorway takes you into a dark bar. We sat on the street and waited. When we got the cocktail list, we knew we chose the right joint and our brains got excited for our dopamine moment. Unfortunately their list does not appear on their website. I remembered ordering their blueberry cocktail called "Blaubeer Picker" and was blown away as my mouth really had a spa treatment of flavor. I got very emotional about the drink! My wife ordered the "Down Sloe" of gin, orange bitters and cherry blossom tonic. Wow. Go see their Instagram feed at https://www.instagram.com/roterrabe.bar/

When I asked if we could take an adjacent table with four normal chairs, we were told it was for six persons (because it also had two extra "seats" on the heating). Again, the bar was almost empty. I understand, as a bar owner, you don't want duos occupying tables for four or more, but this was ridiculous. There are plenty of more friendly bars around this one where waiters don't give you an attitude or tell you off. Best to avoid.

I knew I had to come check this place out as soon as we made plans to vacation in Berlin. We made reservations for an evening (though was probably not necessary on a weeknight as there were plenty of open tables) and were offered seating right away when we arrived. We chose to sit at the bar because I love watching bartenders, especially at craft cocktail places, work and create the cocktails. The bartenders (two of them there that night) were amazing! They guided us through their menu (which changes every week) and how they use all local ingredients for all of their drinks. I was already super impressed. My husband and I both had two drinks each and it was all sublime - they definitely know what they are doing here and clearly take a lot of pride in their work. In addition to creating delicious cocktails, we had such a good time just making conversation with the bartenders. We got to learn more about Berlin, their ingredients, and how they create what they put on the menus. They even offered a little sample of a liqueur that piqued my interested, which was unexpected but so so nice of them! At the end, they also offered for us all to do a shot together on the house which, again, was very unexpected. It's definitely an experience I will remember and hope to come back to one day!
