Wow, what a place. On a trip to Berlin in March we stumbled across this wine bar as we were…read moresearching yelp for wine options close by. We walked in to an immaculately designed space. Seriously, the owners put so much thought into this place. It is beautiful and relaxing. The two owners, husband and wife, greeted us very warmly and offered to walk us through our options. Our German being very poor, the owners offered to translate the menu to help our choice of wine. We settled on a German wine that was recommended by the owner. The wine was perfect as we listened to Jack White and talked about how life was different for them when the wall was up. It was a wonderful night.

I suggest to go a bit earlier to have a proper sit. It's always very full on weekends. Unfortunately, it's pretty loud. Small philosophical remark: Sometimes it feels that Berlin public is so spoiled by rich cultural offer of a capital city that they actually don't really cherish the act itself but just 'let it happen' on the background of their conversation. Cheers!

Most recently we enjoyed the buffalo milk ricotta appetizer, dusted with truffle shavings - delicious!! The lamb ragu pasta was also excellent, the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning. Same for the beet gnocchi with ricotta filling - wonderful! The server was attentive and nice to let us try some different red wines before choosing. Very nice people, cozy atmosphere and good food - what else could you ask for. The only disappointment was the dessert. I have high standards for panna cotta an their recipe didn't meet them. It was too gelatinous, lacking good cream and vanilla.

We started with the mixed antipasti which were excellent and perfectly executed. There is a good selection of meat and cheese on the board. As a main we choose the pasta, the octopus pasta was amazing flavoured making you believe you are diving into the fresh sea. The orecchiette with italian sausage and mushrooms was perfectly balanced and an amazing dish. Also the wines are very good and reasonably priced. A full thumbs up, already looking forward to our next visit.

This is what people call 'no frills' and although that's kinda true I think it is a disservice. This is a German kniepe, what you see is what you get and well, we liked what we saw. I could easily spend long nights in here - great choice of beers, liquers and apertifs. Didn't sample the food but the menu looked good and any food coming pact to other diners looked basic and wholesome. We thought the service was great - we got chatting the lady behind the bar and she was very friendly. Charming.

If you're looking for a rad place to knock back a few beers with friends and play a couple games of backgammon among other laid-back folk then you've found yourself a new home. Old-school Fhain keeping it real but beware, staff is selectively friendly. I.e. be cool to them and they'll be cool to you. Act like a w@nker and you'll get the same treatment in kind. Careful about your bags; if you go to see a show there don't be a victim and leave your backpack unattended. Nuff said. Taschendiebe aside, always always always worth a visit.

If you go to Supamolly you might feel as if you missed the spot because to get to the concert area…read moreyou have to go through a small bar at first. The door to the concert areal opens at about ten, but may vary. They have plenty of hallways, corners and steps to stride along after which you come into the first room, which is the bar kind of loungy area. All equipped with rather worn down sofas, quite trashy (Berlin style). Two small alleyways spit you onto the concert floor with the stage, where it usually gets loaded full and crammed. If you want it a bit quieter, make your way up the metal spiralstairs which lead to the bar and toilets. From here you also have a great view on the dancing crowd and on the stage. Grab a Club Mate vodka ! and let your eyes indulge in the artwork that has been scattered all over the place..paintings, statues..and the dj, which stands on a small platform only and uses digital equipment in his small cell to make the whole sound possible. The sound really can be anything, they have livebands ranging from jazz over hardcore to art-noise. Though they host ska bands mainly.Ocassionally they have a special Rattenbar called gayparty too, but anyone is welcome. Several times a year there is also a theatrefestival with a variety of artists showing what they can. Youll find yourself very likely in the position of seeing a band never thought could of existed before and then really liking them.Its alwayssmth special going on. Afterwards there are always Djs till real early in the mroning with all kinds of music styles(Drum n Bass, Jungle, Raggea,20s, Electro) Entrance fee is mostly 4EUR which is very cheap- the drinks are too. The people are very mixed, mostly 20to 40, but everything is possible. You know this feeling ofaaah why have guys like those have to hang out here I never had it when I was there, everyone is relaxed and there to have fun. One negative thing at times can be the toilets..but use the ones in the entrancebar and you should be fine. Oh and you can smoke..whatever In summer they have a campfire in the backyard.
