I went there when I was around Friedrichshain during the soccer world cup 2014. Since there was a…read moregame going on involving Germany the place was horribly crowded since they had several screens showing it. Nevertheless our beers came in time since the were additional waiters around. Since I'm not much into soccer I hadn't as much a hell of a time as my friends. I think Germany won. However, a couple days later we visited the Degendorff again which allowed me a more concentrated look around. Here's a brief description of the site: The front room looks like a classic bar room - lots of dark wood, dimmed lights and a long cornered bar surrounded by 5 tables for 4 to 10 persons. There's two other rooms from which one is a kind of lounge on viewing the small garden at the front side. The other room is sort of a playroom which contains a darts machine, foosball table, a tiny dancefloor and is outlined by a half-height shelf for your drinks and several bar stools. Between the three rooms there is a small hallway with a small table, shelfs and stools for a more intimate conversation. As mentioned, there is a small garden outside offering about 50 seats and a big screen for...screening purposes like soccer. The tap has several beers from Germany and Czechia and there are also quite a few cocktails on the menu which are done in a tasty manner. If you have to satisfy your hunger after a few drinks, the Degendorff offers a simple but well-working menu: different kinds of sausages, chili, some sort of hefty pizza, that kind of stuff you're craving after spending a time drinking. The prices are definitly ok from what I experienced going out in Berlin. I recommend this place to everyone who likes a good drink in a relaxed atmosphere

Evelyn, the owner, is incredibly warm and welcoming - it feels like visiting friends at home. The bar is beautifully decorated with great attention to detail and has a unique atmosphere. On top of regular live music, they serve excellent cocktails and offer an impressive selection of schnapps. I visited for the first time last week and was immediately hooked - so much so that I'm already going back this week. If you want to experience a piece of real Berlin - authentic, warm, and full of soul - this is the place to go. Check out more on Instagram: @wiener_blut_kreuzberg

I'm really not sure what the German reviews are talking about on about regarding the "Konzept" of the place - it's just a little neighborhood bar - but it's a good one!

I arrived on a Sunday evening around 7:30pm, and stayed almost until they closed at 9pm. That proved a good time to go since there were only about a dozen other visitors in the museum in that duration. Tickets are €13.50 for full price, €8.00 for discounted tickets for students, disabled, military in service or veterans, and recipients of certain unemployment benefits + 7% VAT. Kids under 6 are free. Tickets are available online or in person; when I was there, there wasn't a line. Inside the museum isn't large, kinda like the size of a large retail store. They really pack it in with tons of information about the life and times of people living during the East German socialist era. From providing background on the political shift post WWII, there's information on how social and economic policies affected everyday transactions--commuting to work, grocery store purchases, print/audio/film media, school courses and extracurriculars, vocations, community events and organizations, military service and leisure activities. They do this with a gamut of interactive displays--there are countless cupboards and drawers that can be opened to display descriptions and memorabilia from that era, or other hands-on elements. Anything from replicated excerpts of magazines and newspapers, recreated canned food labels, audio recordings of propaganda, history on the government officials, to the toys children used to play with, recipes for commonly eaten food, etc... The recreation of a DDR apartment with different rooms--foyer, living room, dining and kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, plus a couple full sized cars that you can sit in--really helps to rewind the clock for visitors to comprehend how life was like. Would definitely recommend a visit! I left feeling very creatively educated on DDR times. Gift shop and bathrooms are available. Parking is available via nearby structure, also reachable by public transit S/U-bahn, bus or tram.

The hipster mile of endless…read morebars stops a few blocks north of Poropati and if you find yourself in this part of town longing for a few beers with friends without a long walk - this is your perfect choice. The place has an admittedly strange vibe and is definitely a dive bar. In terms of music, the bar plays whatever the bartender/anyone-who-stands-behind-the-bar feels like playing, so it can be the weirdest of combinations. I've never seen the bar packed - it's usually filled with just a few people chatting, drinking beers and playing board games. That's right - the bar has a wide assortment of board games you can choose from. My friends and I opted for an unexpectedly exciting round of Jenga, which went on for much longer than expected and attracted the attention of most people at the bar. The bartender was a super relaxed, friendly and welcoming who made us feel right at home. As a bonus, the place has PacMan, Darts and foosball for entertainment.
