Bar 3

Great little place - not overly touristy but welcoming even if you’re not local. Dark and relaxed atmosphere where you can listen to their music as well as have nice conversations. If you don’t like passive smoking then you might not enjoy it but otherwise very enjoyable.

Kölsch on tap and Helles by the bottle. Gets pretty busy on weekends around 10-11pm

The bar was quite small but nice. There’s only one staff at the bar, which is a bartender. It’s funny because he was also dj-ing. Note that this is not a coktail bar. So they only have 2 cocktails: Negroni and Daiquiri. The rest of the drinks are on the rock basically. I had a Henessy for 8€. The only thing I’m not a big fan of is that people can just smoke inside. There was no open window, just one door that left open. So the atmosphere was a bit tense.

It’s a place to enjoy vibrant conversations with a creative crowd over a drink or two!

TLDR: Stuck-up bartenders, really smoky. The most “Berlin Mitte” (not in a good way) place I’ve ever visited. They don’t serve cocktails, they serve mixed drinks, shots and beer. Main complaint: Totally hypocritical to have rude service in a historically considered safe-space/artist-haven. Details: Bartender was very patronizing and judgmental to my friend who politely asked if we could pay with card before placing an order. He became irate when they asked “kann man bei ihnen” instead of “kann man bei dir mit karte zahlen” (a bar is a businesses, a group of people, yea? more than the guy serving the drinks, no?). He scoffed and rolled his eyes at them, oh how terrible to have been “sietzt” 😂 then chose to ignore everyone in the friend group until finally one of us had waited for over 15 minutes. Edit: Apparently the guys name is Mark or something…? Ok he was playing music and working by himself, ok maybe he was stressed, but honestly I’ve done his job before. It is not that hard. Wow you hit play on a downtempo HipHop playlist in DE? Not impressive. Final note: The bar has a very limited menu and allows smoking indoors (not untypical for Berlin, but still worth complaining about because it really kills the vibe, is incredibly unhealthy, and also ILLEGAL in Germany). Hope the owners see this and stop allowing smoking indoors, hire at least a bar back so the poor bar tender can chill a bit more and not have to run around picking up empty glasses and bottles. Maybe then he’ll be kinder when someone tries to ask a very normal question.

Like the lowkey vibe and the bartenders are sweet and accommodating

An extremely rude barman caused a scene and started yelling to my friends (some of them German) to go back to their country! Such a toxic behavior is unacceptable.

Used to be my favorite go to bar! But unfortunately the vibe has changed - now its very touristy, posh agency people... What a shame!

Cheap beers and everyone inside smokes cigarettes. Not great for your sinuses, but hey, when in Berlin. The space itself is pretty cool, with huge windows that wrap around the perimeter. Bartender was nice, and they played good music.

Probably the best exemplar for the well known German service, I have never been so humiliated coming into a restaurant!!! Don't know what sad childhood stories are accountable for this attitude, but the hostess at the restaurant really went out of her way to be rude to a Borat level of exaggerationif it wasnt so annoying I would probably find it hilarious. Of course we never stayed in to review the food PS. we solved the problem by walking to the near by, Good morning Vietnam were we enjoyed KIND SERVICE and great food for very reasonable price

A cool bar with a cool clientele and many different languages and accents to be heard at any one sitting. It's quite hidden and the fact that one can't see it from the street acts as a filter. There are limited places to sit around the circular bar but you can also perch on the large windowsills. The low-level humdrum of cross-legged conversation creates a pleasant atmosphere which from the outside appears like an Edward Hopper creation. The only downside is the not-so-überfriendly barstaff. Too cool.
