Was all in German, which I don't speak, but since I knew the story I was able to follow. The space was in a permanent circus tent. Nice AC which seems rare for Berlin. There were poles right in front of the stage but only blocked view now and then. It was cool to hear rain on the tents at one point. We opted for the three course meal which was good for a banquet-style meal. Appreciated the vegetarian option. Service was good considering the amount of tables per person. Only thing I would change is how the payment worked at the end - people rushed the server and it took a long time to settle and get out.

There is also a restaurant and bar and you can enjoy dinner at your table during the show. The production of Cabernet was in german which made it a particularly powerful show. If you have seen Cabaret before (movie or stage) english speakers will have no trouble following the story line. The actors are superb and so is the band. Highly recommend.

The building has an interesting history which used to be an electric power transformer station, and depending on the evening, it offers entertainment venues as well. The restaurant is renovated impeccably with a beautiful open space. We had a great table right next to the window on the balcony and had a great view of the restaurant. The food was as good as expected. We ordered Schweineschnitzel, Argentinian rump steak, and duck, and everything was cooked to perfection. The only disappointing thing was the quality of the steak which was subpar, and for such a nice restaurant, I expected they would serve better quality meats. The service was excellent ... the best we've had in Berlin during this trip, and although we were the only table with a child, I appreciated that the waitress was interacting with our son and treated him like a patron instead of ignoring him as in other restaurants. Overall, it was a great dining experience!

I should have, everything took forever. All in all I had two cocktails and a kase board in 2 hours. The Remmi Demmi was good but VERY gin only tasting. The Aus'n Garten was very very tasty. I would have done a second of that one had the service moved with any sort of sense of purpose I won't be going back.

The food is quite limited to traditional German options that felt kind of cheap. The restaurant is incredibly loud. I didn't find the show particularly interesting or well done (from what I could see). The bar itself is a fun idea and a fun aesthetic but know what you're getting into before you go and book ahead!

Berlin is known for its cabaret scene…read more Bar Jeder Vernunft is a superb cabaret. * * * How would I know this since I don't speak German? Berlin cabaret is the stuff of witty performers tossing out wry life observations, double entendres, and venomous barbs all the while maintaining a poetic outlook on life. If you don't speak German, you are like a child at the adult table. I had two outs. a) I was at a David Bowie tribute that was half in German and half in English. Okay, 80% in German and 20% in English ... But 1/5 of the time I was in the loop. b) I could watch the audience and see what they were doing. The house was cracking up in laughter over and over and over again. Comedians would say the room was "live". The performance got a wild mad standing ovation at the end. I would say the Berliners thought this was an excellent show. * * * What can I say just from my own direct personal experience? a) Shows will obviously vary in quality from one booking to the next. My night had Sven Ratzke, a well established and highly regarded Dutch/German cabaret specialist. The man can sing and the man can dance. His versions of the Bowie classics were better than the Bowie originals, Because he put a lot more soul and emotion into them. b) The shows are hosted by different people, often as not a sophisticated drag queen. Our hostess that night was a superstar. Imagine an elegant refined willow-thin blonde bombshell. She was nearly seven feet high between her heels and her bouffant. This woman had a commanding stage presence. Imagine a cross between the intensity of a Klaus Kinski and the platinum 1920's polish of a Marlene Dietrich. I could have watched her all night - even without understanding a single word she said. c) The ambience is a world of fantasy. The room is set up as a faux circus tent. You feel like you are at the circus the moment you walk in. d) Bar Jeder Vernunft also runs a dinner theater operation for those who want it, with prepaid food before the show and during the break. Dinner theater food tends to be awful. We skipped the prepaid dinner but did order extensively from the kitchen and bar. What we had was surprisingly decent. No surprise - the beer was good. You can go to a convenience store in Berlin, Buy a bottle of beer and Sit on a folding chair on the sidewalk drinking that beer. The beer will be good. The fact that a cabaret would make a point to stock good beer is what one would expect. The cheese plate was far better than I would have expected. Yes - I have been to upscale French cafes where the cheese board was better. But for an everyday cheese board, there was a generous selection of a wide variety of cheeses, fantastic bread, even better butter, beautifully fresh and flavorful grapes, and a surprise horseradish compote to ambush you at unexpected times. The horseradish compote definitely shook me loose from the hazy fog of my beer. * * * If you don't speak German and missing the jokes is going to bother you, Then Bar Jeder Vernunft for you might be a bridge too far. But if you just love the food and the beer and the spectacle and the music ... This could be a magical night. Magical nights are good things.

The show was very professional but was in German of course. However I have seen the film so many times and read Chris Isherwoods book, so I could follow the gist and the music was really good. The taxi driver we ordered from the Hilton didn't know where the venue was so thanks to our Citymap we were able to direct him there !! Not easy to find ! Since returning to the UK we went to see the english version in London.
