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!

I had such a great time visiting MacLaren's Pub! A longtime fan of the feel-good "How I Met Your…read moreMother" tv show, it was seriously awesome to see how they recreated the bar from the show here, complete with the red booths and green walls. I loved how they included so many quirks from the show, which look pretty subtle, but which all have stories - from the life-size storm trooper in the window, to the blue french horn and yellow umbrella. The cocktails and shots also have hilarious names, and are decently priced - from the "Minnesota Tidal Wave" and "Das Blitz" drinks to the Pineapple Incident shot. The only thing I was really weirded out by was how there was a playback of a sound actor reading the Bro Code in German in the bathrooms, and it got this strange ecco sound - but all in all it was a fantastic experience! Oh, and for international visitors, they don't take cards, only cash, which seems a little backwards to me (at least at the time of the review), but I guess it's a Berlin thing.

I`ve been there twice and i liked it both times. It really does look like the HIMYM version (not…read morecompletely the same), which is a plus for fans of the show. The atmosphere is as in any other casual "hanging out with friends for a beer" type of bar. The prices aren`t that high but there are cheaper places in that area that offer almost the same things. If you are looking for a casual bar to hang out for a bit and spend a little more on cocktails, then that`s the place.

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

I must admit that my memories of Paule's Metal Eck are definitely alcohol impaired and influence,…read morebut are non the less memories of a very enjoyable drinking evening. Having liked rock / hard rock and metal as well as many other styles of music for almost thirty years now I don't feel the need to visit cliché metal bars, but since I still like the music I find it fun when I visit somewhere like this that embraces the music but doesn't feel the need to resort to every metal cliché in the book to feel authentic. In short Paule's is a good bar that just happens to play rock / metal.

Being that Berlin is home of many skidly metal bands and that a good chunk of the male and female…read morepopulation still sport mullets and metal shirts, it seems unfair to make a trip to Berlin and not visit Paule's Metal Eck. We had a fun time... once we stepped outside to the patio. Inside was just a bunch of metalheads drinking beer and watching Metal videos on TV screens. Outside was the rif raf-- several German dudes who were very funny and lots of fun-- but of course Turbos always are. For all their lack of fashion sense, they remain unpretentious and quite frankly I prefer their company to that of hipsters. Maybe that's why my friends dubbed me "Skid Magnet" in high school. Despite what you might think, I don't think this bar even hosts metal bands. It's really just a quiet (really!) pub with long haired headbangers on all the TVs. Beers on tap? Don't remember. Jagermeister? Of course, but not since 2nd year Uni for me.This place is a classic case of the people you're with making your good time what it is. The bar itself isn't really much to write home about, but it is a niche market that might deserve a pop in to see who's there.

A pretty great beer garden to hang out for an afternoon…read more Even on those painfully hot summer days (like the one we had yesterday) it's still reasonably pleasant out here under the shade of the umbrellas and nearby trees. The beers are large and cold, the burgers freshly grilled with a nice char, and the proximity to Berghain guarantees quality people-watching throughout the day. The grill is a bit pricey, with burgers for 7 EUR (no cheese) and a small plate of fries for 2 EUR, but it's all high-quality and tasty as hell. The burger comes topped with grilled onions and a cranberry relish that is outstanding. The fries are so satisfyingly salty to counterbalance an afternoon of Radlers and Alsters.

Went here a couple weeks ago and met some friends, etc…read more. Can't say I'm very impressed. Service got slower and more horrible the less people stayed at this place. I remember, when I came, the place was packed - but I got a beer right away. Later, when most guests had left (around 1:30 AM), it took like 20 minutes to get a waiter. Obviously the people trying to get a drink were interrupting the people (working and) chatting. Most service people were also not very friendly. And I saw one of the girls fix up a beer with a straw (to get a better looking "beer head"). Weird. Won't be back, I think.
