My favourite bar to visit when in Berlin! I love the vibe and find it really welcoming as a tourist. The queen bartender was lovely and patient when I tried to practice my German (obwohl mein Deutsch nicht gut ist). Prices are cheap, the beer’s great and the atmosphere is friendly ☺️

Great, friendly staff, beautiful and atmospheric pub! I love bars like this, it’s a real dive bar with regulars and rock/metal music. Good prices too
