I came across this pub by accident. Sometimes i think you are meant to find certain places as was…read morethe case with this pub. As soon as i walked in i felt right at home. The owner (Ecki) is lovely and made me feel welcome right from the start. They serve a good selection of draught beers, wine and whiskys and if you're hungry or just peckish something on the menu will be just right for you. It's also a great pub to watch german football on the big screen and they have live-music sessions too. Since my first visit i have been back loads of time and have never been disappointed. A gem of a find.

The Magnet bar is a nice place to drink with friends on a Friday night in Berlin mitte. There's not…read moremuch place to actually move around (the place itself isn't that large), but there's a kicker table at the back and a kareoke room in the basement. There are chairs outside the whole year 'round. They do events and will close off the place for you, which makes for a great way to celebrate a birthday - they also have special football (soccer) events. The staff is friendly and it's only a short distance away from the Rosenthaler Platz U-bahn station. Recommended! Sorry Hamburg folks, they don't serve Astra. Here's a short clip I took in the kareoke room downstairs: Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn4s3aeKQ9A

Right before the game started the bar owner switched the game to the other CL game. A lot of people protested because this was definitely the game of the night. He denied and went very rude.

This place could not be more perfect for me - great beer, good prices, and even whiskey! The…read moreatmosphere is good, even though seating is somewhat limited (not by the number of tables but by how popular it is) and I like that there is a separate smoking room. The beers are always very solid, tasty brews; not the most unique styles but they satisfy my craft beer cravings. The menu also includes some small food plates (I haven't tried them yet) and some liquor and non-alcoholic drinks. If you like whiskey, they have a few good options for pretty cheap prices. I think I had a double of Glen 12 for €4? A definite must if you're a beer lover in Friedrichshain!

Excellent beers, great cider and a warm welcome from the Aussie crew. We tried the cider and the…read moreunfiltered lager which were both excellent. Was here a few years ago and it seems to get better.

Play Off is a very american style fast food restaurant. To be honest, this was my first Play Off. I…read morehaven't never really tasted anything from them before I moved to Berlin. So it was good, I got the chance to try it out. This Play Off located at the Arkaden. The restaurant is quite clean, service also friendly. The design of this place was ok, it's nothing special but comfortable. The burger is ok, just tasted a bit commercial to me. I like their smoothies and ice coffee. Just like other fast food restaurant, you can get your food in a short amount of time. If you have to catch a train or it is just a short lunch break, I think this place is not a bad choice. Because of the location, it very easy to get to anywhere you want or need from here. The S- and U-Bahn station is really close. Personally, I like this place, it's a good place to cool down and rest a bit. The restaurant have no toilet or washroom itself, but the one form the mall is very close by. The thing is going to those toilets there are cleaner inside expected tips from you, my friends told me is a choice for people to give or not, but usually when I don't give, they stared at me badly, sometime just even saying some bad words. So I just simply decided not to go when I having my nice food here. Other thing, I never know why they got those girls wearing such as weird style make up and doing weird post on their menus, it's not really pretty, sometime even make my appetite gone. Well, I guess I better just look for my meal faster, instead wandering on the menu.

I can't imagine why anyone would really want to eat here…read more The food is ok, but it's really just a crass attempt at an American sports bar on the top floor of the soulless Potsdamer Platz Arkaden. The staff are friendly enough and they show American sports championships like the Super Bowl and World Series, but there are much better places in Berlin that do exactly the same thing.

While wandering down the street around mitte I've passed my this bar, which was recommended to me a…read morecouple of times before, so I thought "why not" and went inside. First of all- you can't ignore the ping pong table that sort of blocks the entrance but people do have a lot of fun playing around it, as I was a bit too tipsy already I had to pass, me and my friend found a free chair and ordered a beer, they don't have kegs, only bottles, so keep in mind. I was expecting a lot more buzz on Saturday night, but it was pretty cool and laid back, nice music, happy people, a beer bottle n my hand and everyone seem a whole lot better If you compare the bar prices to the prices around the area it's pretty cheap, so if you feel like hopping for a quick beer, that is a good place to start your bar crawl. Maybe you'd even stick around for a while!

Bad experience here, maybe isolated.. Ordered a "tap water"…read morealong with my long drink, was given flat sparkling water from a previously opened bottle. Charged me 3 euro for this. I told bartender lady that I wanted flat water from tap and she would not replace nor remove charge. I gave her the 'sparkling water' she charged me for and asked her to pour it out please and just fill with tap water - she did but would not remove 3 euro charge. Also, they turned off tennis match I was watching to put fake wrestling on all tv's and when I asked if they could please change one tv back they couldn't figure it out. Plus it's super smoky inside - little space with no ventilation. Can't recommend it - sucks cuz there aren't any other sports bars around really...

Amusing to watch the customers of Mustafa's Kebab hut queue in the freezing cold for hours to eat sh*t. (Not a fan of kebab's, obviously) If you like pubs, you'll love this.
