They serve different kinds of drinks in big bottles - meaning the soda can be flat if it has been sitting around for a while. I didn't see anything in cans or bottles. In any case, I like this lounge as an oasis in an old fashion airport.

The lounge is clean and there are coffee/espresso and soda options. The nice lady only offered me a croissant to eat (it was still around 930am) and I guess that's it in terms of food. Kinda sad considering you don't get food with your first class ticket unlike on Virgin Trains in the U.K. The ladies at the desk checking in could care less. They were too busy chit chatting to themselves. There were a lot of seats and side tables available but when I got there the lounge was about half full. I can see how this place will fill up quickly considering it's the central train station in Berlin. At least it's better than the airport. Half the monitors don't work that are supposed to show you the platform information. Luckily I'm just sitting in here until the platform info comes up for my train and a hot chocolate.

All it took was leaving hunting-themed pictures on the walls, using a beautiful wardrobe as a liquor cabinet - and there you have it. The place is impressive from it's sheer size: you feel like you're in a saloon. Though the place still goes by the old name (although there are no signs to be found), it already attracts a very talkative, open and international crowd to this little-known part of Rixdorf. Personally, I love the ambiance, complemented by a wonderful staff of bartenders and waiters that are laid back, yet good at what they do. If there ever was a bar in Berlin that I would call my own, this definitely would be it!

The food served is quite modern Italian style, you will not meet here rather Italian tradition. I would recommend Bruschetta. For me it was the sky in my mouth. By accident I ordered pasta with deer, I am not an advocate of this meat, so before I got a dish I was slightly disappointed, but completely unnecessary, because an absolute revelation was the meat of deer in Tagliatelle Ragu, the rest of the dishes so-so. What I did not like that you pay for the wine twice. Once a bottle and the second time for opening. The card is very unreadable, before reach the end you forget what you wanted. The big plus of this place is book a table, you can do it online. Overall okay, but I not fell in love in Muret La Barbarossa.

This was way too up tight for my taste. They had extensive drink menu and I selected a very good white wine. What was nice is that they gave me a complimentary welcome mini shot and a small tray filled with some potato chips, olives and nuts. The bartender took my coat from me, which was another nice touch. As I figured out that this place sucked for me and left, the card I gave them didn't work on their system. When I walked back while waiting for the cab, my bartender was running around panicked, because my card was denied (which was really strange because it worked in other places). I handed him another one, but this whole thing just left a bad impression on me. This place may be just wonderful for you, especially if you think you are high on a social ladder, but for me it was just too stuffy, with older or boring crowd on that particular night.
