I love the location. This bar is located on the Schiller Promenade…read more The interior is dark and cozy. Typical of many Berlin bars, lighting is provided by candles. The tables are mostly vintage wood. They have a separate smoking room (without a door). The bathroom is well lit and super clean! The two times that I visited, I had no problem finding a table to sit at with my group of friends. When there's a dj, the music is audible but not deafening, so you can hold a conversation with friends. It seems like a bar to start your night off with, as it clears out around 1 a.m. They offer a nice pilsner as their cheaper draught option. If you're interested in craft beer, they have a nice menu of bottled options. Just ask one of the nice bartenders for their current offerings :)

I was initialy turned off because…read moreit's listed as a smoking bar and I thought I was going to be surrounded by old German dudes blowing cancer in my face... it was the only thing open near my hotel and so I reluctantly went to check it out... Boy was I WRONG!! The place has state of the art ceiling ventilation and I never noticed that people around me were smoking. But here's is the ONLY thing you need to know about posh bar... The bartender Micheal (German: "MEE-SCHY-ELLE") is actually the owner! But he's super humble about it and won't admit it unless you pry it out of him. He spent years in Miami learning his craft and has pioneered a "Cheers (TV show)" style approach to experience management. This is rare in Berlin. His masterpiece bar is THE BEST time you can have in Berlin without even knowing it! Why? Every customer is treated as if they are an old time friend COMING HOME after a long time away. This means that Michael (or the other bar tender Martin) might tease you, or even insult you, or seemingly act indifferent.... What they're actually doing is giving you a special opportunity to throw it back to them -- to tell your personal story, be honest and comfortable, and feel like you're at home with your childhood best friends. Do this!! Tell Michael your story. Open up. You'll get access to special off the menu drinks. You'll get special stories about crazy patrons. You'll get a place where you and your friends are treated like you've been regulars since you were teenagers. Make sure to ask Michael and Martin about crazy shit they've seen in Berlin! You will laugh your ass off! This place is a treasure, and a MUST-VISIT for anybody looking to have an "only in Berlin" experience. (Oh, yeah, the drinks are super cheap! You can get drunk on 20 Euros here.)

Staff are incredibly friendly and were super fun to talk with! This was my first time properly drinking since I'm too young to drink in the U.S., and the staff really made it fun and enjoyable. Ambiance is super cozy, and my mom and I have made a note to contribute to the soccer team scarfs on the ceiling lol Note from my mom: "Staff feel like family [our first time here by the way] and some calm damn good soup" Overall: 11/10, will return!!

One person in my party ran the marathon, and needless to say, they were very hungry. Between us, we had ordered the pig knuckles (it was huge - about the size of someone's head), schnitzel, and a meatball dish. All the dishes we had were very reasonably priced for the amount of food it was. We all enjoyed our food, and it seemed like it was a great taste into German food (can't be sure it is authentic since I'm not German myself, but judging by how everyone else in the restaurant was speaking German, I think it wasn't a tourist trap). The ambience of the restaurant was stellar. It was located on a quiet side street near a park, and a bit hard to find since it was off the main roads and was raining the night we went there. The walls of the restaurant were adorned with many old pictures and posters dating back to the 1930s or so. The restaurant had a front room, and also a fairly large back room that isn't immediately obvious when you enter. The whole feeling of the place was one of a historic, quaint old German pub. The feeling was magnified by the fact that the waitress did not speak any English, so you can tell that not many groups of entirely foreigners wandered their way over to here (luckily one member of my party spoke enough German for us to get by). Please note that I think this restaurant is cash only!

The floor is entirely sand, which confused me as my feet first touched it, but it was all part of the cool decor. There were quite a few people in, all having a good time, but we had no problem finding a table beside the bar. The bartender was fantastic, friendly, open for conversation, and he made some great drinks. The cocktail menu is extensive, and very good value. I also enjoyed the beer called Fucking Hell, which was advertised as a special, also excellent value and very tasty. Then the bartender proceeded to tell me the funny story behind this beer and its name. All in all, a fantastic evening at a wonderful bar. I'll be back next time I'm in Berlin.
